I’m hoping that you can expand this series to include REDCine, since that seems to be the up and coming tool.

Even after reading the descriptions in RED’s FAQ, I’m not clear on what REDCine does.

Thanks!

Hope you’re enjoying your REDs!

I definitely prefer the idea of keeping everything in the RED/Apple family, but I've just recently begun to more seriously consider the prospect of a Cineform post workflow. I'm not too impressed with the quality of QuickTime proxies so far. I know that will improve, but it seems like there is just going to be too much power required (for the immediate future at least) to decode the Red Raw files on the fly while editing and viewing high-quality encodes. This leaves us with Pro-res as a viable option and one that I was planning on using in our workflow until I started reading more about Cineform's 4K solutions. David at Cineform is claiming that 4k files work well in a Premiere 2K sequence. I'd like to make sure this works well in FCP too. I don't care for a 4k finish myself, but I would definitely like to retain the re-framing (plus extra for stabilization) that 4k in a 1080P or 2K timeline provides.</p> <p>Sorry for the long comment post, just wanted to mention it in case, like me, you too were aware of Cineform, but not really considering it as an ideal alternative in the Red post workflow. I LOVE the talented folks at RED, but they have a lot on their plate and are a fairly small team. Cineform is small too, but they are essentially solely focused on their codec so they can pour more resources into just the post workflow.</p> A good layout of the facts as usual Chris… thanks.
