Sorry for the double post, but: So am I right that with the current updates that happened today in RCX and the new FCS Installer and the new 8.0.2 Resolve Update, that RCX can now spit out Quicktime Reference files, like the proxy files used to do, going to the same folder as the R3D, allowing you to use them in FCP X, make your cut, send an XML straight to Resolve and finish in RAW there?
If so, great! :-) Nice to see both Resolve and RED making this all happen for their users.

RCX could always spit out QuickTime reference files, but it was limited to RED ONE. Now it supports Epic & Scarlet-X as well. Not sure if these work in FCP X, as they're meant for FCP 7. For FCP X I would probably transcode to ProRes as it seems to like that format best. But try out your workflow and let us know :)

Hi Rob,
I made those proxies. In both FCP7 & FCPX I got about the same performance. Is it normal that 1/4 went smooth, but 1/2 wasn't usable because of the speed?
I was using an iMac i7, 8GB RAM, working from the internal disk. Not ideal, but it was as a test. I just want to know if that kind of performance is pretty much normal.

Hey Mathieu!

Yes, that's probably correct. Unfortunately, the way QuickTime works makes it impossible to really scale well.

From the download page:

All clips resolutions over 4k are automatically decoded at half resolution

What does this mean exactly for Epic 5K movies vs 4K?
