Best RED KOMODO Workflow in FCP
Рет қаралды 20,086
Күн бұрынThis RED Komodo workflow can be applied to any RED camera using IPP2 and the part I talk about color grading is actually applicable to not only RED footage but also other raw capable footage or any other format actually.

I forgot something important!!! Yes you can grade on proxies and yes it will stay on the original footage when you switch back. You can see the proxies as just a preview option, HOWEVER, 2 things:
1-if you have created proxies and you change any raw setting, fcpx will delete the proxy version of that clip you’re trying to modify. This is because the proxy rendered is only a visual “mirror” of your raw clip including any raw settings applied before you click render but doesn’t contain any raw data, therefore the proxy file is considered as "outdated" you’d have to re-render the proxy for this clip if you change its raw settings.
2- Even though you can color correct and color grade using proxies (except raw settings), I would strongly suggest not to do that if like me you use low-quality prores. This is because you’re applying a grade on a "mirror" clip that doesn’t have any information or “depth” and when you switch back to the original media, the adjustment you have done will be slightly off and in lots of cases, you’ll have to readjust.
In short, unless having rendered high-quality proxies (prores 422 for example), I’d always color correct/grade using the original media view.
Let me know if you have any questions!

This is the best tutorial I found on editing komodo footage from fcp, merci beaucoup! I have a question: do you grade directly on the proxies of the timeline or on the raw footage? I'm not sure if fcp does apply the grade automatically on the raw clips even if the timeline is converted in proxies

@MartinLisius 2 жыл бұрын
@@GuillaumeCornetfilms Hi Guillaume. Thank you for responding. Since my question, I made sure the camera was set to output 6K (MQ) REDWideGamutRGB. Then I imported some RED LUTs that looked good to me into the camera. I selected and enabled a 3D LUT similar to the one you mentioned in your video (Medium Contrast, Very Soft for me). Then I made sure the camera LCD and SDI were set to "Image/LUT." Now I can output the flat REDWideGamutRGB content but see the look I like on the LCD and SDI monitor, then reapply the same LUT in FCP if I wish. I think I am set now. Thank you for pointing out the quirky thing that needs to be done in FCP regarding proper sequence of the LUT and FCP adjustments like color board. I look forward to seeing more from you regarding Komodo and/or FCP. Great work!

Question when I proxy Red Komodo footage and toggle back and fourth between original and proxy Im no longer allowed to use the Red RAW Tab … FCPX prompts me to delete my proxy footage in order to use the RAW Tab… Any advice on this?
@GuillaumeCornetfilms 2 жыл бұрын
Hey mate, if you scroll down in the comments I believe I already answered this. In short, the proxy you created is NOT a raw video anymore, it's a mirror of the R3D containing whatever raw settings you had at the moment you clicked on render proxies. There is no workaround because if you want to change the raw settings again, it can only be done on the original R3D. Ideally when editing you want to set your raw settings at the beginning. Doesn't have to be the exact final settings but roughly what you think will work for the whole project. I usually select all my raw clips and change all at once if needed to what I want. I then do all my editing using proxies and then I only do the colour grading over the whole project at the end. This will eventually delete the proxies. But at this stage it doesn't matter because I would strongly recommend NOT color grading on proxies as they are much lower quality and don't contain all the information you need to properly colour grade. Hope that makes sense :)

I have an M1 Mac, so it should handle the footage just fine, I am not transcoding or using proxy media, just tryng to see the clip I created, but misses frames and skips some ... any recommendations?

Not having success importing RED files into FCPX. I downloaded the RED Apple Workflow, and it said it has successfully installed. Started FCP, tried importing but most of the RED files are grayed out, so nothing is imported. I then tried to find if I really did have the workflow plug-in installed, and can't find it anywhere on my Mac. I've tried do this on both my brand new Mac Studio, M1Max chip, and my older Intel iMac. Any advice? Have no idea what the problem is.
@GuillaumeCornetfilms 2 жыл бұрын
I believe the computer needs to be re started for it to work. Also making sure that both your fcp and mac os are operating on the latest firmware. A way to see if it's installed is to check "system preference" on your mac and look for REDcode (it should be a the bottom). If it's not there, it's not installed. If it is, you can click on it and play with the 2nd tab called FCP X Hardware accelaration (only on box to tick or untick) Mine is ticked but in the past before the M1 max I had to untick it for some reasons. Good luck

FCPX tell me that to edit R3D Raw footage, I need to deleat proxy. Did you do that and color grade after delete it?
@GuillaumeCornetfilms 3 жыл бұрын
so what's happening is that the proxy file is basically a prores mirror of your video clip taken at the moment you create the proxy. This means any raw setting is kinda engraved in the prores version thus not raw anymore. If you change the raw settings, and yes you can still change them whenever then FCP deletes the created proxy as it's no longer "correct", however, once you've done your raw changes, you can create the proxy again. What I do and I think what FCP thinks people are doing is that I first set some raw settings that I think are good to all my clips, then create proxies and do all my major editing. Then at the very end when I do the whole color grading, I adjust the raw settings. It may delete the proxies but I usually don't need them anymore. Moreover, proxies are not good to work with when color grading as they are only compressed versions. Hope that helps
