Hello all,
I have made an application called XMiL Sequencer. It looks at an XML export of a FCP sequence and uses that data to make an Avid Log Exchange file. You could string out your RED dailies in FCP, make an output tape and digitize the dailies from that tape into the Avid. Since the source time code for the RED files (as well as for any synched audio) comes across in the ALE you keep all options open for finishing the show in whatever way you like.
XMiL Sequencer also looks at the RED files directly to extract 'the other' time code, i.e. the one that wasn't put into the reference QuickTimes. It also does a couple of nifty things (in my opinion, at least ;-)) with the audio, but you should look at the website for details: http://www.xmil.biz/sequencer.shtml
I'd be happy to answer any questions about it, and I'm looking for some feedback, too. I have plans for another couple of XML/FCP tools, but I am open to suggestions as well.
Hope this will help some of you,
Rainer
