Overview

“MetaFuze, REDCINE-X and ROCKETCINE-X are the final link in an amazing end-to-end RED workflow allowing you to take the beautiful RED images and convert them to any Avid format including the amazing Avid DNxHD36 for offline before natively importing back to DS for the online. Easily the best workflow out there for taking complex RED offline edits to native finishing with ease.”

Adapt to any platform. Whether it’s Mac or PC, you can adapt solutions to whatever platform is best suited for your workflow.

Import easily. Ingest picture, sound, and metadata from a RED ONE camera.

Transcode native to native. For a truly efficient and dependable workflow, eliminate QuickTime from the process

Maintain ultimate conform. Finish in Avid DS, the most complete finishing solution for any native RED project.

Finish anywhere. Manage extensive metadata for HD, R3D, or DPX finishing within an Avid product or via third party conform solutions.

Track simultaneously. Track both time of day (TOD) timecode and edgecode at the same time.

Preserve your color. Preserve and pass through all color parameters created by the Director of Photography.

Use multiple source references. Use any combination of source references in DI conform: timecode, edgecode, DPX file name/frame count, in addition to the original R3D file name.

Give your clips friendly names. Edit with friendly, meaningful descriptions for clip names, such as scene and take, without restricting the conform process.

Create new opportunities. Open the door to third party integration with XML representation of the sequence metadata.
