Im new to red and trying to get the workflow installed. I go through the RED Apple Workflow Installer menu, restart my computer as requested and it doesnt appear anywhere, ive tried different versions over and over. Anyone have a solution?
running: Sonoma 14.5
FCPX 10.7.1
The RED Apple Workflow is for R3D, that is, REDRAW files. A RED camera can also shoot internal ProRes at reduced resolution.
If you try to use R3D RAW controls on ProRes files, that won't work. It is easy to recognize the difference in the files. REDRAW files have a R3D file extension and ProRes files have a MOV file extension. If you see a MOV extension, that means the camera operator shot ProRes, not R3D.
I ended up reaching out to some buddies and I guess this is what happens when shot in pro res. I switched to red file format I got the menu to pop up.
What are you expecting to see? The RED plugin is buried in a library. It just allows FCP to view and play RED media.
Select the clip you want to modify. At the bottom of the Info inspector is the Modify REDRAW settings. The panel appears that allows you to control the media.
I don’t know what’s been done. Perhaps this is a different camera from one I’ve seen. The file extension i have for my RED media is .R3D. It looks like the file has been converted to QuickTime and there is a LUT that goes with it.
Do not import them using "copy to library", only "leave files in place". Copy the camera files to a locally attached disk drive which is formatted as APFS or HFS+. Then import from there to FCP.
Each R3D clip on disk consists of a folder containing several file segments. From a Finder perspective, each clip is the folder name. After import to FCP, there will be a single contiguous clip visible in FCP which encompasses all the on-disk segments in that on-disk folder.
Do not rename R3D files or folder, and do not remove them from the original folder they were in. Copy the entire camera card contents "as is" to a locally-attached APFS or HFS+ hard drive and import from there.
The "Unsupported file type" messages are normal. Disregard those. This also happens with metadata files from other cameras.
Thanks, where do I find it to make it work with FCPX? IT doesn't pop up
I dont get the option for that yet, I know thats what im supposed to see.
Those aren't the video file. The LUTs and data files are not imported into the application. Select the clip in the browser and look in the Info inspector. Which version of Red workflow are you using?
Using version 22, I tried downloading older versions as well to no avail. The videos are in quicktime format as far as I can see and once in FCPX you can see the info bar where it lacks the red menu.
What Tom said. The others are not video files.
1 - Are these off a card that a RED camera recorded?
2 - Can you access that card in the Import menu (screen shot)?
