Optionally, you can export your own color preprocessing preset using the RED ALERT!
application (available for free from www.red.com) and use it to preprocess transferred

To export image-processing presets from RED ALERT! to use in Final Cut Pro:
1. Open RED ALERT!, and choose File > Open R3D to open a REDCODE media file to
use to create your preset.
2. Use the controls at the left of the RED ALERT! window to adjust the image in order
to create the look you want.
3. When youʼre finished, choose File > Save Preset.
4. Save the resulting .rlx file into the following directory:

settings in RED ALERT! are ignored when exporting image-processing presets.
