Workflow?

[ThomtheEditor]

It's been awhile since doing a red shoot; probably since the L&T plug-in came out!

Anyway i remember reading about a workflow that you could edit with your generated QT's from Red-Cine/Alert/Rushes etc. then thru an xml use L&T on just the clips you used to then bring full R3d colorspace functionality/support over to Color.

Unfortunately, i can't remember the name or URL for this workflow; can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance,
~Thom

Yep!

Clipfinder will integrate the power of Red Alert and Red render engine in a fast and easy interface/workflow.

Work with proxies in FCP, export xml, import xml in Clipfinder, color correct first step,
render and encode, export new xml.(rendered clips location)

Import new xml in FCP, that's it!
...and then you can CC further in FCP or Color.

I see 3 major advantages to use Clipfinder over Log and Transfer in FCP:
1) You can use full debayer quality (although FCP half high debayer is very impressive and sharp)
2) You can work with 3K footage (say for your slow motion clips)
Color scale 3K footage to 1.5K !!!!
3) You have more output codec options (Color has very limited export codec options)

4. It's much faster on a beefy system (8-core with at least 16 GB of RAM).

But u can't handle windows in REDAlert.

if you're going to grade in Color, whats the advantage of using clipfinder over just editing with the proxies and sending to Color?

(note: I'd love to try clipfinder, but my machine is still runner Tiger)

[Camilo Ganado]

well, if u are just send it from FCP to Color there is not such a advantage. But i think if u are grading with color to use the log and transfer workflow.

I think in Color you can use full debayer quality though (at least that is what the whitepaper suggests, so L&T > FCP > Color gives you full quality debayer. What i still can't control is the OLPF compensation and denoising. The denoising in RedAlert works wonders on the blue channel noise I see on lots of low-light footage, and I suspect Graeme Nattress has it optimised into the Red render engine in a way a plugin couldn't be.

I'm not sure I understand what you meant.
