Work with RED RAVEN film file in FCP X

RED RAVEN brings RED sensor technology to aspiring shooters everywhere. Capturing images using a 4.5K RED DRAGON sensor, RED RAVEN reinforces RED’s commitment to its core principles. RED was founded on the belief that cinema-quality creative tools shouldn’t be in the hands of a few—it should truly be 4K for all. Harnessing the revolutionary RED DRAGON sensor, shooters are able to get the perfect shot every time. Boasting RED’s incredible dynamic range, ultra-clean detail, and renowned color science—RED RAVEN gives you best-in-class image quality.

However some users met some importing problem with editing RED RAVEN film in FCP X. The FCP X window got stuck and grey for a long time until they force quit FCP X. Well, the reason to the problem is your Mac may not have the ability to process RED RAVEN film. In this situation, I would suggest you to transcode RED RAVEN film to Apple ProRes 422 HQ(*.mov) format with 1080p. BTY, Apple Prores 422 HQ codec is developed by Apple Inc. and .mov format supports for multiple audio tracks, so Apple Prores 422 HQ(*.mov) format is completely supported by FCP X.
