RED Solitary Series

RED’s Solitary Series examined 8K acquisition and REDCODE RAW in earlier episodes. This instalment focused on proxy creation for R3D media.

Proxy Workflow

The presentation demonstrated setting up in-camera proxies with RED DSMC2 or Ranger cameras, creating proxies in DaVinci Resolve and editing in Adobe Premiere Pro through XML interchange.

Proxy workflows can reduce workstation load, but editorial teams should test naming, timecode, colour metadata, audio channels and relinking before production.

The session was presented by Jonathan Petts, Dan Duran and Cleigh Reed.
