I know most you RED guys out there are fans of the workflow in the FCP environment (some even in Premiere), but I thought I would pass along this detailed guide from AVID, “Using RED files in an AVID-based workflow.” This 12-page step-by-step guide has all the details on the steps required to move RED R3D files through an HD post production process using AVID Media Composer v3.0.5 or later Avid Symphony v3.0.5 edit systems. As it turns out, for DS Nitris conform, a standard DPX workflow is used.

AVID Workflow for RED files

AVID Workflow for RED files

It’s good to see AVID coming out with detailed support, but with FCP being the current standard environment for working with RED files, AVID seems a little behind the pack. With the younger filmmakers and Indie guys all going the FCP route, some may wonder who will be left to adopt the AVID-Based workflow? If you are considering an AVID system to work these large files, you’ll most likely need a MAJOR post production equipment re-haul. Visit WB FINANCIAL for complete RED Camera leasing and complete AVID financing for your next editing suite.

RED ONE 4K HD Camera

RED ONE 4K HD Camera-

Can you feel it? That BIG breath of fresh air in the film community? Like it or not, the RED ONE 4K HD camcorder by Red Digital Cinema is here to stay. Announced in 2006, and finally released in 2007, the RED ONE camera was the most anticipated release in the film/entertainment community since Sony rolled out the first generation HDW-F900 HD camcorder.

The RED ONE HD camera is capable of capturing images at resolutions up to 4k (in comparison, full HD is considered 1080) directly onto a RED DRIVE (RAID), RED FLASH DRIVE, or onto CompactFlash (CF) media cards through their CF read/write module add-on. The RED ONE body weighs in at only 9lbs, maximizing shooting options and flexibility. The fact that the RED ONE camera comes matched with a standard 35mm PL lens mount makes it an ideal choice for cinema applications. With a price around $17,500.00 USD, the RED ONE 4k HD camcorder’s capabilities rival or surpass those of comparable $100K cinema camcorders. Options for RED camera financing include equipment leases and finance agreements. WB FINANCIAL is one equipment leasing company leading the way with commercial financing options for RED camera users. Existing RED ONE owners will be excited to learn that WB FINANCIAL is offering RED EPIC leasing & financing options for those looking to take advantage of the $17.5k trade-in allowance on the RED ONE body. Either finance the new amount minus your $17.5k credit, or finance THE ENTIRE amount and get the $17.5k reimbursed you/your company in cash. Programs like these make WB FINANCIAL the only real player in entertainment equipment financing, and one of the top equipment leasing companies operating in the United States and Canada.

Whether you decide to buy a RED ONE of your own, or utilize a RED CAMERA rental company to obtain the needed gear for your shoot, one thing is for sure… RED DIGITAL CINEMA has put the power back into the hands of independent filmmakers everywhere! With RED CAMERA rentals as low as $1200/day (for a complete production package), now is the time to realize your dream and get that film project started!
