Using RED Source Settings
Source Settings lets you choose from a selection of preset templates or you can create your own
look. Each source setting has its own color values associated with it. There are a few different
ways to obtain source settings:
• Camera and default source settings are included with the RED AMA plugin
• Link a RED clip from RED Alert! (imports the RSX source setting)
• Load a source setting onto your system (for example, an RLX, RSX, or RMD)
• Create a custom source setting
You cannot change the default RSX and RLX source settings, these are predefined. Once you
make a change to a parameter, the setting becomes a Custom setting. At this time, you can only
have one Custom setting.
You can load multiple RSX and RLX source settings. As you link a RED clip from RED Alert!
(RSX) or load an RLX file, the setting appears in the Source Settings menu.
Source Settings are helpful when you want to apply one setting to multiple clips in your bin.
Different subclips from the same master clip can have different source settings.
When you edit a clip into a sequence, the material you edit in uses the clip’s current attribute
values or RED source settings. If you change the RED source settings at a later point in your
workflow, the sequence does not automatically adjust for the change. If you want the sequence to
use the RED source settings for clips that you have changed since you edited, you must refresh
the sequence. For procedures on how to refresh your sequence, see “Refreshing Sequences to
Use Current Clip Attributes” on page 601.
Applying a RED Source Setting
To apply a source setting to a RED clip:
1. Right-click a RED clip in the bin (or Shift-click multiple clips), then choose Set Source
Settings.
The Set Source Settings window opens and your clip displays in the viewer.
2. Select a setting (template) from the Source Settings menu.
Source Settings vary depending on the files or templates loaded on your system.
