Thanks for the report, Art. But surely you mean *low* signal-to-noise ratio on reduser.net? Or has it suddenly become a fast and efficient way to find out what you need?  [grin]

Yes, thank you, Adam. I made the change. I must’ve been crazy to write that. Crazy! Reduser.net is a great resource as long as you have infinite amounts of time.

By the way, Deanan of RED tells me that as of 9/2 RedRushes does transcode sound. I checked; I downloaded it on 8/31. Argh! The article has been updated to note the new audio capability.

At the LAFCPUG Supermeet at IBC yesterday, Apple demo-ed RED support in FCP for the upcoming update.

FCP will be able to work with the RED files directly. It will allow you to create 2K projects using 4K RED footage.

Log and Transfer will rewrap the 4K R3D in a QT (no transcode) and preserve all metadata (as well as what you add). On the (2K) timeline FCP will do on-the-fly downrez.

When you send a timeline into Color all RAW parameters are available in the Primary Room in a “Red” tab. There you can edit the RAW parameter like WB, exposure, etc.

Should be something to look forward to…

I wonder, will that be FCP 6.0.5, or FCP 6.1… or FCP 7.0? Did the Apple folks give any hints? (I know, I know: “Apple does not comment on unannounced products”, but still…)

As I understood it’s the next FCS point release, so 6.0.5 I suppose. It seemed pretty much “finished” to me. It was the only new feature demo-ed.

I have found that Redrushes, even at a half resolution, renders moves at a snails pace.  25 hours of render time for 2 hours worth of footage.  The log and transfer window within Final Cut does the rendering for about an hours worth of footage in 4 hours time.  Soooo much faster.  And the color is identical to what was shot whereas Redrushes washes out that color.  So, I don’t understand why you would use this program?

“I don’t understand why you would use this program?”

Sure, it’s slow, but it allows you to change the gamma space and color space settings of the imported clips, which FCP will not (see http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/apple/story/redfcp_native_redcode_importing/). If you prefer to use ProRes as an online format (as opposed, say, to using ProRes offlines, then conforming REDCODE in Color), the RED Alert! / REDrushes combo gives you much better control over the conversion process.

It also has the advantage of being free and unlicensed. You can set up a conversion workstation or two and have REDrushes grind through your clips while your editing system remains free to run FCP for editing tasks.

That’s not to say it’s a better way to go than FCP’s Log & Capture; it’s just different. Different workflows for different needs, that’s all.
