All valid questions. Our plan is simple. AMA link transcode offline. AMA relink transcode and online. We have tried this with basic tests and were able to do all the necessary grouping. Why we are being told that the Epic Camera is the only one we can use for our external drive media storage needs is really something I'm checking out because it sounds fishy from all my initial research. The shows are very straight forward with straight cuts and a few dissolves so at least that is helpful. As far as matching I'm planning on using the camera metadata for the initial online/offline transcodes and tweak from there. Do I feel great about expecting 5 to 6 Red Cameras to match? Hell no but it's being shoved down our throats. For all I know the color correction that usually takes me 2 hours might take two weeks. I've warned them but apparently it's a decision out of our hands.
