Hi,

I have hit an interesting issue with my usual RED workflow and thought I'd consult the list for alternative options.

Basically we have our editors edit shots from a ProRes  proxy that we generate on set.

When it is time to conform, I get the editors to export an XML from FCP then in a text editor I simply do a search and replace to replace the footage path and file extension from mov to r3d.

When I load the xml into AE voila, I now have my edit made up of 5k footage instead of the 1080 QT files.

This has worked great until now.

We just did a big shoot and because some of the takes are longer than usual, the RED camera has split the file into multiple segments thus breaking my amazing workflow.

In our Smoke, we can just load the original XML and tell it to replace the footage with RED footage and it automatically works.

Any idea of a good way to conform in AE?

Maybe I could do something in PP and get that into AE.

Thanks.

Phil
