save FCPX ? get R3D supported...

[Patrick Grossien]

Fellow redusers, I love my FinalCut and I also like - but not used to full extent yet - FCPX

But what I really miss in it, is the support for the R3D format. Now Jim and/or Jarred mentioned that we should talk to Apple about this one.

What I (and as it seems, RED staff, too) find pretty sad is that from the great RED/Apple cooperation in the beginning of the RED days, there seems not much left!?
How can we get our R3D into FCPX? make a petition or grab the torches and pitchforks to visit Tim Cooke? :)

Any idea on how to accomplish that? I like the deal on FCPX and I like that they are trying something new... would hate to see it go away.
and for some reason, I never really warm up towards Adobe... ;) although some of their work is pretty great.


How do we do this!?

Go to the FCP feedback page.

Fill in you details

Tell them you want FCP x to support r3d

Here
Is what I sent them




Dear apple,


Please support native r3d camera files from RED cameras in a future release of final cut pro ten.


As a RED camera owner and user of Final Cut Pro ten this feature would help me access images from a high end camera system.


R3D support in FCP 7 was great. Can you do it in FCP X please.


Thanks.

[Patrick Grossien]

I did that already :)


Maybe we just need more of us to do that!? :)

[David Battistella]

Try this way.

I have some experience at this.

But heck

The next Redcine X should accept FCPXML format for FCP X.
Davinci resolve does it.

It would go a long way to smoothing out workflows. I think FCP X is picking up some steam. More people are starting to see how smart the software is.

It would be good for rcxp to at least be able to read XMLs from FCPX.

David

so you think for a fluid workflow that would be sufficient in keeping the possibility to "link" to the original R3Ds?

[David Battistella]

More options = better for everyone

better for Apple
better for users
better for RED
less headaches trying to post RED footage (with the newest Apple NLE)

Id love to move my edit between FCPX RCXP and back.
NOt sure who dropped what ball but these two need to kiss and make up.

Thanks David, for hinting me to your thread. Just opened another one, more active request thread - looks damn similar now ;)
