Pull List / Conform / Batch Scale/Crop

[MikeCurtis]

Glenn -

collapsing - for feature conforms, is SOP. But wouldn't it be nice if you could get away from that onerous task for onlining in FCP? Not all projects need to be fed to Scratch or FTHD or somesuch.

Item 3, the Long Shot Problem - YES I entirely agree, and my suggestion to the Red team has been to allow you to identify/mark/pre-cook subclips from source clips WITHIN REDCINE before kicking out the offline version if they can't cook subsections with handles.

It is a bit of a punt solution, but if you're stuck cooking the whole clip, at least go through and subclip it in Redcine BEFORE you kick out your offline versions.

And do it by order or operations, not where it falls in timeline - so first defined shot is shot_001 even if at end of the shot. Second shot defined is shot_002, etc. This avoids complications if you go back in and cut willy nilly, esp. if you do overlapping cuts. Naming conventions using timecode get cumbersome and problematic as well - what if I want two treatments of same footage, or overlapping subclips? Etc.

Yes, you can render out only sections of your source footage

[Steve Freebairn]

Will the process work with Premiere Pro? I think that Final Cut is great and all, but as of right now, only Avid and Premiere can edit 4k.

[Rob Lohman]

Which process are you exactly referring to?

STUART QUOTE: "REDCINE isn't going to "conform"
So the offline is completed. its time in a film to conform to the digital intermediate format and take everything into the DI (digital intermediate) process. Which means if you originated on Film an HD or 2K timeline is conformed then the final color correction is made. This assures the most available color correction at the critical juncture when you are matching shots within a scene etc.

So we will be no better off than other work flows as we will be correcting in a constricted color space (compared to the original film or wave files)?

Encouragement here, for making an update that allows conforming in RED RAW to allow the filmmaker the best possible DI!!!!

I'm referring to using an EDL from Premiere to Online after editing in a lower resolution format. Thanks

From a market and customer support point of view, clearly Apple FCP and Avid "EDL's" are the two systems you would focus your efforts on first....

I agree - but the dark horse here - PREMIERE is coming up fast ... and I would not take it for granted.

I think Premiere coming to the MAC is great for FCP - because hopefully it will stop the Apple ProApps guys from getting lazy ... Adobe has the ability to do software right. Even the Apple guys know LIGHTROOM nailed it - APERTURE was only close ... I sincerely hope that FCP doesn't dissapoint at NAB!

I Expect big things from Apple at NAB this year. Since last year there was really nothing new. And I agree Premire coming to the MAC was the big step. And I think that Adobe knows how to build software very well. If you think as of late Apple has kind of been following Adobe's modle of buying up software that works well and intrating it into there applications. So Who knows mybe it will be the big three instead of the big two.

Maybe you are right, but I am preparing for major dissapointment. I don't think APPLE INC. cares so much about the high-end of the "pro user" group - because we are "too small". Steve is thinking phones and living rooms.

I expect NO new compositing application and no movement in 3D.

Watch Adobe buy LUXOLOGY - an emerging standout in 3D software, PRIME for acquisition - while Apple says ... the 3D market is "too niche" ...

Maybe I am wrong ... sure hope so ....
