Still using build 21.4.1... should I upgrade?

[Brandon Fraley]

I'm been happily using build 21.4.1 pretty much since it's release and have been avoiding upgrading to build 30 because of several posts I read earlier this year about a bunch of different issues, specifically about darker negatives and black speckles in the blue channel.

So, months later, I'm about to start production on a feature and I'm considering what build I should be using. Is it time to upgrade? Thoughts?

THANKS!

Upgrade. Redcolor is WAY better then Redspace for monitoring.

Thanks, Julio. Keep the opinions coming.

Question about redcolor. I like editing with the camera generated proxies. Right now, using redspace, my RED LCD, camera proxies, and redcine-x, images all line up pretty well. Will that still be the case with redcolor?

THANKS!

I allways hated RedSpace... -

To me B30 was when the cam fianlly became what it was supposed to be all along.

Give it a dig. You can downgrade if you don't like it.

Cheers!

Brandon, the blue channel was fixed in build 30.6...no more speckles RedColor is solid and loads better than RedSpace in my opinion. I would strongly suggest you give build 30 a try like Gunleik said. If you hate it, you can downgrade, but my money says you'll like it. Good luck on your project. Peace.

If I remember correctly, you will lose the ability to zoom in to the image while playback and if you wish to use "false colors" for exposing (like I do), then you will need to set your "video exposure setting" to 0.9 in order for the "red" color to show when you overexpose.
