Ingest questions

Hello,

OK, I am a total newbie to this camera.. Have seen it , and see how it is the real thing.. So if I am a Final Cut Editor,, And someone needs me to edit some footage from the Red camera.. What do I need to get the footage into the camera?? I know it can have a Hard Drvie or Compact Flash cards.. So if I have the Flash media, do I need a special reader to read this card, or can I use a standard Compact Flash Reader ?? What do I need to bring the footage in using the Red Hard Drive?? Can the data from either one of these be transferred to another drive and sent?? Any advice is much appreciated..

Thanks..

Not my area of expertise at all. BUT, to my knowledge, you can use a standard card reader, then just drag and drop the Quicktime proxy files that are tagged to the native RAW files straight into FCP. These proxies are either .5k, 1k or 2k depending on whether you want high quality or running speed. You can also transcode the RAW to ProRes and edit to HD.
There is an application from Red.com called RedCine, which helps some of these processes and allows some grading of the RAW files.
Somebody with more knowledge please add to and ammend this!!! Just thought I'd try and make a start. Check out reduser.net and also google for red fcp workflow.
