New member Repost - Red Workflow

I have not been mainstream active for a few years now, however I do have my own FCP 7 system and cut on a regular basis.

With all that said I have a workflow question and would the below breakdown be a realistic feature film workflow.

Shoot on Red MX
Ingest into FCP via Red Cine X Pro and transcode to Pro Res.
Use the Pro Res files to create viewing DVD's/Dailies and to edit.
When the edit is complete XML out and use Red software to create a 4K cut version.
4K cut version then can be color timed/modified in Da Vinci.
Sound EFX, Dialogues, Music etc.
Import dubbed sound masters into FCP. Sync with 4K Master and Export deliverables.

I guess my real question is, "can this all be completed system side"?


Thanks and any input will be greatly appreciated.

it sounds ok in theory, although you don't list your system specs.

are you planning on processing ad preparing the RED footage yourself?
unfortunately i haven't worked with RED footage,
so i cant say much about it, but your plan seems pretty straightforward.

you'll need the non-free version of DaVinci resolve to work with the 4k files.
and some pretty fast drives, too!

i'll add that Resolve is pretty comprehensive,
and you might not need to bring anything back into FCP to create your deliverables.

You can use the Resolve to generate the rushes. I believe the free DaVinci now let's you work in higher than 4k.

Fcp works with 4k but it's slow. Premiere is faster with 4k. Or you can try fcpx.
