I'm not a conform guy. Strictly offline editor. But I've got a project in front of me shot on the EPIC. Footage was transcoded to DNxHD 175 for cutting. Lots of talking heads shot at 5K. In the cut are lots of re-sizes (medium shots to close-ups, etc.). The client wants a presentation version of the offline that uses the original 5K RED files to create the blow-ups so that we're not blowing up the HD-rez DNxHD's and compromising the quality of these resized close-ups, but rather accessing all those delectable available pixels from the 5K for a more pristine blow-up.
As I began, I'm not a conform guy. I do movies in which I just export an AAF or an EDL, and hand it off to the Conform and Color people. But is there a relatively simple protocol for relinking my transcoded DNxHDs back to the original .r3d's so that I can enlarge the frames with impunity, going back into the 5K's as it were to get a cleaner image for my 1920x1080 offline? Again, the goal is to do this as much within MC as possible. I don't have access to Resolve or Speedgrade or some other system such as that.
Again, here in the offline I'm not cutting AMA-linked material. I'm cutting DNxHD's that were transcoded from originally AMA-linked files.
I hope this makes sense. Any counsel would be appreciated.
