Here's the official Avid link: http://www.avid.com/US/industries/workflow/red
This may or may not be current. Michael Phillips at Avid has all the go-to answers for RED workflow. He checks in at RedUser a lot. Here's their Avid forum page:

Redcine X and the newer Redcine Pro can work with EDLs and XMLs. Send a timeline to it with valid TC/reel info and these apps will conform the timeline. From there you can do primary color correction and render out in various ways.
For example, right now I'm doing an FCP 7 job. RED files were externally transcoded and ProRes files were brought into FCP 7 (i.e. no direct internal link to the r3d files). I export an XML, import that into Redcine-X and conform the timeline. Here I do a primary grade to balance and match all shots. I rendered the timeline out as a single QT file. I notch this and bring it into Color for a second pass to do the subjective grading. I'm finding this workflow appears to be faster than trying to do everything native from the r3d files in a single app.
I haven't tested it, but I believe you could do something very similar with Media Composer. You might want to look over this blog post I did. It includes some easy ways to deal with RED in Media Composer (not with Redcine X).
