Import REDCODE RAW files into Final Cut Pro
You can import and work with REDCODE RAW (R3D) files in Final Cut Pro.
RAW format video files require some additional steps before and after import.
After the R3D RAW files are imported, you can make nondestructive color correction
adjustments directly within Final Cut Pro.
Import REDCODE RAW (R3D) files
1. Install the appropriate plug-in.
In order for Final Cut Pro to recognize the R3D RAW files, you must download and install
the RED Apple Workflow Installer.
2. Import the media into Final Cut Pro.
Important: When you import the media, make sure to deselect the “Create optimized
media” and “Create proxy media” options, because any transcoding work done during
import will be discarded if you adjust the RAW settings in the next step.
For more information about importing media, see
Import into Final Cut Pro from file-
based cameras and Import into Final Cut Pro from your Mac or storage device.
Note: If you’re importing files from the RED ONE camera, it’s recommended that you
import the R3D RAW files only. The RED ONE camera typically generates a set of up to
four QuickTime reference movie (.mov) files for each R3D RAW file. If you select both
the R3D file and the reference movies during the import process, only the R3D file is
imported. If you need to import a reference movie, select only the reference movie, not
the R3D file.
3. Adjust the RAW settings (with Final Cut Pro or with an external application such as
REDCINE–X PRO).
You can apply a nondestructive “one-light” color correction to the R3D RAW clips
immediately after import, to give your footage a more finished look for editing and review.
If you have a professional production with sophisticated color correction needs, you can
revisit these RAW settings during the finishing stage. See Adjust RED RAW settings, below.
