Surprise, surprise , RED was also a theme at the Super Meet. Clemens Seiz from final BUG was there and made the following notes
“Miguel de Olaso from Spain www.redlab.es, also known to Red Digital Cinema Camera users as MacGregor, showed footage from the Red One and talked briefly on the workflow he used to get the spot he filmed in the morning on air the same day.
To save the time it takes to convert the Red Raw footage to ProRes422 (about ten times real time on the fastest MacPro) MacGregor edited the raw files in FCP using the Quicktime Redcodec. This codec can pull proxies from the raw footage in half or quater resolution. He used quater res that is 1024 *768 pixels. In this size the files run smoothly even on a Macbook Pro. So he could edit and finish the spot of a bathing beauty walking down the beach (in slowmotion)
The final export was done as Qicktime Pal Prores 422 (HQ) With the next version of Final Cut Studio comong soon it will be possible to grade the shots in Color. The new Color version will have a red Tab in the primary room where you can change the look of your redcode raw files the same way as in Redcine (like adobe lightroom but for moving pictures)
So the next thing I would like to see is FCP with 4K resolution and up to 16 Bit Colordepth (like adobe Premiere CS4)”
