There's a fancy new thing going on called 3D.

Unfortunately, as I have only full sight on one eye, I wouldn't know what all that is about, but apparantly they rent two cameras and hook them up with an USB to make arms come into the room...

Sorry to hear that you guys can't join the 3D fun, as this build has proven to be very popular with the crews testing it ...

POTC4?? :reddevil:

Thanks RED, every one of these firmware updates increases the value of our RED ONE. Maybe not in monetary value but certainly as a tool. The easier RED makes it fit in various workflows the easier it is to sell the RED ONE to DPs, ACs and Producers that the R1 is the right tool for the job.

Keep em coming :-)

All the best,
 
Can't wait to try it out.

Aside from the master/slave updates this little gem caught my eye:

* Updated metadata in .R3D file to record User Action and Title area / positions.
 
User Action / Title metadata.

User Action / Title metadata.

Updated metadata in .R3D file to record User Action and Title area / positions.

Yes, for example. Shoot 4K 16:9, but set User Action to equal 4K HD. Have REDCINE-X extract (crop) to the User Action size....

Advantage is you still have 2:1 downscale to 1080p, but also have extra recorded area for image stabilization / reframing etc..

User Action / Title metadata.

Well if you have a need for image stabilization / reframing - yes. :-)
 
Build 30.6.0

Build 30.6.0

.. for us who installed 30.6.0 when it was in Beta, do we need to reinstall it now it's been moved to Release...

No need to re-install Jordi.

Updated metadata in .R3D file to record User Action and Title area / positions.

You may also have noticed that when in Master / Slave mode, the X and Y offset for User Actions are linked.

As an example, a +5 X Offset on the Master camera, becomes a -5 X Offset on the Slave camera.

This provides an additional benefit for 3D imaging in addition to the image stabilization feature mentioned above.
 
Thanks a lot, Stuart! Not that it was a lot of work to re-install, but if it's the same, then job done!

Let me congratulate all of you for the Blue Channel improvment. With all the good thing in the usability within Build 30 it would have been a pain in the @$$ to get back to 21 for a clean image with the M sensor.

Thanks!
 
a little bit off topic, but does anybody know how to get a 30.5 release build - can't find it on the red support page anymore.

best wishes,
martin

Hey, Martin, I've noticed it's not available from the support page. Now, don't get me wrong, just curious. Why would you want Build 30.5 instead of 30.6?

In my case (still stuck with the M sensor) it's been a huge improvement with image quality (Blue Channel) and the rest was exactly all the same.

Did you notice some other changes?

Cheers.
