Workflow using Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) media created via RED plugin for Final Cut Pro Log and Transfer

RED provides a plugin for the Log and Transfer feature within Final Cut Pro. This plugin can be obtained from www.red.com/support and can be used with Final Cut

Pro version 6.0.3 or higher. The RED Log and Transfer plugin imports

REDCODE clips and transcodes them to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) at 2048x1024 and 23.98fps.

INSERT SCREENGRAB "clip Item Properties" HERE

RED Log and Transfer transcoded clip Item Properties.

These files can be added to a Final Cut Pro sequence and operate in much the same way HD Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) media would. These files can be played back in realtime without the need to adjust the Dynamic RT settings for the sequence. The

KONA3 can be configured for video output of this media in either 2K or in HD at

1080psf 23.98.

This workflow is simple to use, but does require time to transcode the media from

REDCODE to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ). However, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) media can be used easily in the Final Cut Studio suite of applications. Like the

REDCODE proxy files, these Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) files generated via the Log and Transfer process are assigned HD video values by default, resulting in a rec. 709

HD video color space with a gamma of 2.2.
