Question

Apply a LUT to proxy from R3D

I'm brining in a bunch of R3D's from a Helium sensor and I'm using IPP2 in the source settings. When I apply a LUT in the source settings (RWG_Log3G10 to REC709_BT1886 with NO_CONTRAST and R_4_VerySoft size_33 v1.13.cube), it doesn't render out in the proxies and I have a proxy file with a LOG gamma and a hi res file with REC709. Is there a way for me to bake that into the proxy?

Correct, the "RED Source Settings" Source Effect is not supported with the Proxy Workflow.

It's mentioned in the "Known items & tips" section.

 

The workaround would be to set the RED Source Settings as desired to the RED source clips, then send the RED Source Clips to Adobe Media Encoder and transcode to settings that will work well as a Proxy (like custom QuickTime using ProRes Proxy at a snaller frame size, and then attach the resuling MOV files via right-click > Proxy > Attach Proxies....

 

When creating Proxy files manually like this, it's especially helpful to follow the following tip from the "Known items & tips" section fo the Premiere Pro user guide:

  • The recommended Proxy workflow includes appending "_Proxy" to the name of your Proxy clips (for example, scene01_Proxy.mxf) and placing Proxy clips (on disk) in a folder named "Proxies" that is placed right next to the Full Res clips. This helps with reattachment of clips. The Create Proxies dialog's default destination setting takes care of both of these conditions. If you happen to set a custom destination, then you should add the Proxies folder to the destination. By default, any Create Proxies action automatically appends "_Proxies" to the clip name.
