Red One 4K videos to After Effects CC/CS6

Summary: In this article, we will give you the easy way import and edit Red One 4K RAW video files in After Effects CS6 on PC and Mac without problems.

Two generation Red One

The first Red Ones were outfitted with the 12 megapixel Mysterium sensor, capable of capturing up to 120 frames per second at 2K resolution and 30 frames per second at 4K resolution

The second generation, Red One Mysterium-X has a 14 megapixel Mysterium-X sensor. It captures up to 120 frames per second at 2K resolution and up to 30 frames per second at 4K resolution. With the upgraded sensor, the Red One Mysterium-X offers more dynamic range, higher sensitivity and enhanced color management tools than the Red One Mysterium.

Why you guys cannot handle the original 4k video in After Effects CC/CS6

There are many, many flavors of 4K files, and more to come. RED camera for example can be setup to shoot uncompressed RAW 4K, 3X compression, 5X compression, 8X compression, and 10X compression.

With an iMac, or even with the new Mac Pro, to handle 4K workflows effectively, you would have to add-on a Thunderbolt expansion chassis with a RED Rocket card or RED Rocket X card, at least one or two powerful graphics cards such a the GTX 680 Mac Edition, and a beefy Thunderbolt RAID like a Promise Pegasus 6-drive model. All the costs over $18800 totally.

That is to say, there is unfortunately no way you will be able to edit native 4K files at any of the higher quality, lower compression rates. The only alternative on a Mac would be to transcode to a lighter codec, such as Pro Res. Well...yes, if you convert to ProRes and scale to 2K for editing.

Solution Here

Working with raw 4K videos could be tedious and time-consuming in many situations. The best workaround is to have the flexibility and efficiency of working with a professional and edit-friendly codec such as MPEG-2 with a powerful 4K to After Effects converter-Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac. With it, you can effortlessly encode/re-encode 4K H.264(MP4), RAW, etc footage for smoothly importing and editing in various non-linear editing systems (NLE), including After Effects, Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro, iMovie, FCE and more. Besides, this 4K Video Converter is also available to customize the output resolutions to any size like 1080p, 2K, 4K as users want.
