The RED ONE camera generates QuickTime reference movies that point to 4K (or 2K) full resolution REDCODE™ RAW (.R3D) files. This allows for immediate editing of camera source footage when using the latest version of Final Cut Pro.

Ensure that you have upgraded to FCP version 6.0.2, running under Mac OSX 10.4.11 (Tiger) Then download and install the REDCODE™ RAW codec from www.red.com/support (Intel based Macs only currently) Final Cut Pro 6.0.2 with the REDCODE™ RAW codec installed will support RT playback and editing provided you have sufficient hardware resources.

Transfer the entire contents of your RED-FLASH CF card or RED-DRIVE to another drive for editing (RAID storage is recommended for best performance)

Import the desired QuickTime reference movies into a new FCP project. You can use either the 2K or 1K sized reference movies. On a MacBook Pro laptop, we recommend the use of 1K size movies.

Select the ProRes HQ 1080p easy setup in FCP to render files and create an online quality, HD rendered media for finishing.

Log and Transfer functionality will be supported in the near future. This will allow advanced ingest of RED footage into FCP including transcoding to ProRes.
