RED+FCP: Native REDcode Importing

Last November, RED Digital Cinema Camera Company released an installer adding RED functionality to Apple Final Cut Studio 2:

• RED QuickTime Codec v3.7.0 (read-only REDCODE decoding for QuickTime).
• An FCP Log and Transfer plugin, v1.0.0, to read RED’s compressed raw R3D files and import them as REDCODE-native or transcode them to ProRes422.
• A RED tab in Color’s primary grading room, letting you tweak the RAW parameters of an R3D or MOV file using the REDCODE codec.
• A white paper telling you what to do with all this stuff.

Let’s look at how these additions enable using RED footage in Final Cut Studio, how you set them up, and how they can benefit you.
