RED ONE Standards Coversion for FCP

I have an underwater photographer shooting on a RED ONE and he wants to shoot 25 as he is in Australia which is PAL. The footage is being shared between us, but we will be editing in FCP in an HD NTSC 29.97 sequence to match our other footage.
Is converting from 29.97 to 25 or 25 to 29.97 a better option? Or is there a better shooting mode that will convert to both better?

If you shoot 25p, you can conform the footage in Cinema Tools to 23.98fps, and add 3:2 pulldown to get it to 29.97fps for NTSC timeline.
If you shoot 24p (23.98fps default on the RED) you can just added 3:2 pulldown to get to 29.97fps for NTSC timeline.
Either way will work fine.
To add 3:2 pulldown, you can output a 24p timeline to tape in FCP, or you add it with a render process using one of my plugins for instance. I'd avoid placing 24p directly onto a NTSC timeline as that just dupes frames in FCP and tends to look bad.
Is there a need for the final product to also go to PAL? If so, what is the exact format of the HD footage on the 29.97fps timeline? For dual PAL / NTSC production, it's usually best to keep everything 24p / 25p as via conform and pulldown you can go either way with minimal picture quality issues.

  • How to injest RED ONE camera footage in FCP?

    Hi there,
    I have downloaded the necessary drivers from the RED website and I am expecting to receive the files from the director off of his hard drive this week.
    What should I be expecting in terms of files for an offline edit? Is there a link or process to view the steps to inject into FCP?
    Thanks!
    Steven

    I am a whatever works for you guy...but at the same time I think it's important to consider once you are working with Red or 10bit source PRHQ may be your friend.
    RED FCP Whitepaper:
    Method 1: Transcoding to ProRes 422
    You may choose to transcode R3D media to ProRes 422 or ProRes 422 (HQ) compressed QuickTime files. ProRes 422 is suitable for creating lower-quality files for offline editing, but ProRes 422 (HQ) is recommended for higher-quality mastering. You can set this up by opening the Log and Transfer window’s Import Preferences dialog.
    • ProRes 422 (HQ) – Suitable for ingest and mastering of high-quality chroma- subsampled/YʼCbCr color space media for high definition broadcast masters.
    • ProRes 422 – Suitable for ingest and mastering of high-quality chroma-subsampled/ YʼCbCr color space media for standard definition broadcast masters, or good-quality mastering at HD resolutions.
    This workflow describes transcoding your REDCODE media to 2K resolution Apple ProRes clips, and then mastering using Apple ProRes.
    • Advantage — This is a straightforward workflow with no reconforming necessary. Editing using the Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec is simple and efficient, especially for programs that are destined for output to a YʼCbCr-based tape format.

  • RED ONE camera to FCP to compressor for DVD

    My client used RED ONE camera for filming. He used FCP to edit it then exported it in 1920x1080 Apple ProRes 422 (HQ). He sent it to me by mail (external HD) for me to use that QT movie Apple ProRes 422 for Compressor to compress it into SD DVD MPEG-2 5.0 2-pass with Progressive (Best Quality). I used DVD Studio Pro and found it very unsatisfied with the quality of video because I'm seeing a lot of pixels around those letters during open/close credits. Not only that, I also see a lot of bad interlaced video. I set it up for Progressive and YET I'm still seeing interlaced in it. What's did I do wrong? How can I make it the best quality video for SD DVD from Red One camera or Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)? I know Blue-ray is the best answer but a lot of my costumers don't own blue-ray dvd player. (I'm sure you're aware that HD DVD don't work on any DVD players, only on Mac computer which is very unfortunate for me!) Please help! I'm flirting the deadline right now:)

    1. Take your sequence into an uncompressed 720x480 16x9 anamorphic sequence. It needs to be 720x480 first since thats the resolution of NTSC DVD - create a 720x480 uncompressed 16x9 anamorphic sequence
    2. With a bitrate calculator, you would need to determine the best bitrate. How long is your DVD? (include menus as well) plug it into the calc. here's a good one:
    http://www.videohelp.com/calc.htm
    3. Export out through compressor as an MPEG2 file and the bitrates from above. make sure you match field order of your source if interlaced
    4. Import into DVDSP and author away

  • Online in FCP with Red One

    I am trying to do online with footage from RED One in FCP (uncompressed files). There is no way to playback in realtime. Is this not possible at all? Firewire 800 harddisk.
    I am sending to Lustre for grading so I cannot use ProRes..have to use uncompressed. Any tips or tricks?

    Proxy editing is used for editing RED in FCP using the REDCODE plugin which will allow playback.
    There is a complete FCP workflow description and very detailed instructions for system requirements, etc., on the RED site:
    http://www.red.com/workflow
    http://www.red.com/support
    lots of useful information about FCP editing workflows over on the RED forums:
    http://www.reduser.net
    http://www.redcamcentral.com
    Otherwise, to use native R3D files, you'll need to something like RED Alert for the Mac.
    I'm sure better RED support in FCP is coming, but right now 4K uncompressed editing requires brute strength. It's possible that you may be able to use something like SheerVideo to lower your overhead.
    In any case, I would check the RED site and forums first, and verify exactly what kind of "uncompressed" files your Lustre artist needs.

    Go to tcode SPRO - cross application components - HomePage Framework - Resources - Define Resources -
    check window Name property for EMPLOYEE_ORGCHART_SERVICE05, MSS_HCM_SERV_OCI_LAUNCHER,MSS_HCM_SERV_OPROFILE_QUALI_DETAIL,MSS_HCM_SERV_ORGASSIGNMENT,MSS_HCM_SERV_ORG_PROFILES,

  • DVD Training for FCP 5.0, which one???

    Hello everyone,
    Could someone give me some suggestions about training in DVD format for FCP 5.0? I am a beginner to FCP and I would like to know how basic stuff works... At the moment, I have 3 choices from DigitalMediaTraining (DMTS), RippleTraining and Total Training (www.totaltraining.com) but I am confused since their offers may be too high (or too low ;)) to me...So please, give me some hints for this. Which one you like to best?
    Thank you very much for your time and effort.
    Kind regards,
    James

    Run the tutorials and be prepared to be frustrated and confused. it's a big application.
    Play with a few simple projects.
    Then you MUST do the tutorials again. They will make much more sense the second time because you now know where the menus are and understand of the basic interface language.
    Look at your budget. Decide what you want to spend and what you want to learn. The APTS books are great and come with several interesting and challenging editing tasks. The second volume for FCP5, "Advanced Editing Techniques", just hit the shelves. It's fabulous but it's all about the craft of editing. It's not about how to run the application. So if you're making films and never went to school, that's the book you want.
    If you want to learn the application, Brian Maffit's Total Training series is, without any doubt, the best way to do the job. I have all of the available training resources for FCP3 through 5. None are as well done nor as innovative and exploratory as Brian's set of disks.

  • Kona 3 [and XENA] for FCP Questions

    Is the XENA 2Ke compatible with the Macintosh platform and FCP, and if so which is the recommended version of OSX and FCP?
    I have previously read someone stating that you can use this card on both platforms therefor negating the need to purchase a Mac only Kona 3.
    I am doubtful of this however your immediate response / confirmation / denial of this is greatly appreciated.
    ALSO
    Is anyone aware of news relating to an upgrade of the Kona 3 card [ie Kona 4 or a Mac and PC compatible XENA card]?
    I am looking at assembling a new HD online capable suite in the next few weeks and am hoping to avoid purchasing ie a Kona 3 card just before the release of [theoretically] a Kona 4 card [possibly at NAB 08]. Being that 4K / Red post are and should be at a premium in the coming months I would like to assemble a post solution that can handle for example a short form 4K online [if possible].
    I know I am dealing with a lot of what-ifs but for the investment I need to make I will be asking similar questions to these everywhere I can including the forums such as this.

    Anyone / everyone please feel free to comment

    *3. Monitoring 2K?* What are you using to monitor 2K, HD Jerry?
    Many guys in similar situations to myself over here in Australia are using Apple Cinema Displays with a Decklink HD-Link Pro box for monitoring. Obviously the 30" Cinema Display has the resolution to handle 2K monitoring but is it suitable in your view?
    Realistically I am looking at offering an immediate service based mainly on a HD offline / online workflow. I would however like to future proof myself as best I can by assembling hardware that can handle 2K with reliability, stability and to reasonable levels of accuracy and complexity.
    *Up until now [NAB] I've been looking at something in the order of the following setup:*
    *Online Machine*
    Two 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (8-core)
    8gb RAM
    1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3GB/s
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 1.5GB (Stereo 3D, two dual-link DVI)
    One 16x SuperDrive
    AirPort Extreme card (Wi-Fi)
    Apple wireless Mighty Mouse
    Apple Wireless Keyboard
    *Third Party Card / Hardware IO:*
    Kona 3 with K-Box
    *Offline Machine:*
    Two 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (8-core)
    4GB (2 x 1GB)
    1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3GB/s
    NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB (Two dual-link DVI)
    One 16x SuperDrive
    AirPort Extreme card (Wi-Fi)
    Apple wireless Mighty Mouse
    Apple Wireless Keyboard
    Monitoring:
    JVC DT-V24L1DGE 1920x1080 Pro HD LCD with 1:1 pixel monitoring / no scaling and all the regular / required inputs and features
    *BUP / Archival Purposes / Proofs:*
    Lacie D2 Ext Blu Ray Burner
    Storage:
    Caldigit's HD Pro OR G Technology's G Speed OR G Speed es [though not sold on G Speed es - great price point but really doesn't have the sustained drive speeds. Great for online SD, Pro Res and possibly basic DVCPro HD / HD Sequences etc. [www.g-technology.com states "Two G-SPEED eS units and the G-Tech PCIe RAID controller support all of the above plus 10-bit, 1080i/60 HD playback in RAID 0 or RAID 5 mode."]. Will be looking into the new Apple owned Promise RAIDs too; your thoughts on these? Unfortunately I don't really have the budget for SANman, X-Serve, Fibrejet etc solutions at present but for the right job, that would obviously change.
    I really appreciate the idea of how you are working with 2K, though your description was not really that detailed it definitely sounds smooth. Do you think that I am heading in the right direction in your opinion with the gear I have in mind, and is the minimum 2K future proofing concept I have a valid one?
    Thanks for taking the time to read this post, and hopefully reply to some or all.

  • Importing red one  footage with final Cut 6

    Im getting an error message saying file type is to new for final cut to recognize. Iv'e downloaded the latest red one codec and installed it but I can't believe I won't be able to see the footage on FC6? Am I really going to have to upgrade to 7?

    I would do the transcoding to ProRes 422 in Redcine-X. Then import those files into FCP. It works better than FCP's Log and Transfer when working with RED footage. You have more options for transcoding.

  • DVD Footage for FCP Edit - how to tell if NTSC or PAL?!

    Hi all, apologies if this seems like a stupid request but I have a job at the moment calling for me to extract footage from a DVD, edit in FCP, add a few bits from Motion etc., but I can't work out if the DVD is NTSC or PAL!
    I intend to extract the video (no issues with copyright) via DVDxDVPro but am unsure if the DVD has been encoded in NTSC or PAL. The footage it contains is from both the States (NTSC) and South Africa (PAL) so how do I tell? I don't want to go through a standards conversion if I can help it.
    I am keen to try to retain as much quality as possible (client can't provide tape) so also any thougts on the best output from DVDxDVPRo for FCP editing?
    Thanks all,
    Best wishes
    Michael

    Hi Thomas, that's it!
    Thanks for this - it clearly shows the TV standard and the resolution plus 4:3 etc., so everything I needed for confirmation.
    Glad I cheked because it was in Pal - thought the conversion in DVDxDVPro looked a bit ropey.
    This realy baffled me - seemed so simple but couldn't find a way to tell the standard. Learn something everyday...
    I am using DVCPro for export from DVDxDVPro - anyone thoughts on a better option?
    Thanks again for the answer - and so quick on a Sunday too!
    Kind regards

    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.
