8.1. Click the Add Volume button in the upper-left corner of the Log and Transfer
window.
8.2. Choose the folder or disk image that contains your archived RED media, and
click Open.
8.3. If you have RED media in other folders or on other hard drive volumes, repeat
steps 8.1 and 8.2 until all the RED media referenced by your project has been
added to the Log and Transfer browse area.
9. Lastly, right-click the new offline sequence thatʼs been created, and choose Batch
Capture from the shortcut menu. When the Log and Transfer window appears,
reingest all necessary footage from your archived RED media directories.
Stage 3 — Grade Your Program Using Color
1. Prepare the sequence for sending to Color, following the guidelines described in the
“Moving Projects Between Final Cut Pro and Color” section of the Color User
Manual, available in the Color Help menu.
2. When you finish, right-click your sequence in the Browser, and choose Send To >
Color to send the prepared sequence to Color for grading.
Once in Color, you have access to each clipʼs camera setting metadata via the RED
tab in the Primary In room. You can use the RED image data as is, or make
adjustments as necessary. Keep in mind that clips that have been transcoded to
ProRes 4444 lose the ability to access these camera settings, as they no longer
contain the native RED raw image data.
Stage 4 – Choose the Resolution at Which You Want to Render Your Project
By default, projects using native RED QuickTime media are sent from Final Cut Pro
to Color with the Resolution Preset set to match whichever resolution the originating
Final Cut Pro sequence was set to. Typically this will be the 2K resolution
corresponding to the RED media that was ingested.
However, since Color reads the full 4K image data from native RED QuickTime files
or REDCODE media, the default Scale parameter in the Pan & Scan tab of the
Geometry room reads 2.000000 for all 4K clips in your project, which is the scaling
value necessary to fit the 4K source media into the current 2K project.
If you want to render your final graded media at its full 4K resolution, you need to
change the Resolution Preset after you send your program to Color. When you do
so, a dialog appears, asking if you want to automatically resize each clip in your
program to match the new resolution.
1. Open the Project Settings tab of the Setup room.
2. Set the Resolution Preset pop-up menu to the resolution you want to render at.
3. When the Resolution Change dialog appears, click Yes to change the resolution of
every clip in your Color project to match the new 4K resolution of the Color project.
