  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Epic and Ramping within shot.

I was wondering what the Ramping capabilities are with the EPIC. Can you ramp say from 24fps to 300fps during the shot then back to 24fps? And could this ramping be done multiple times during the same continuous shot ? Thanks

In my opinion the best way to do this is shoot everything at the highest frame rate and then do the ramping in post. This will give you the most control and the least timing complications.
 
I prefer the look of the shutter speed ramping with the speed change.

I can not get quite the same look in post, even when adding a keyframe animated motion blur to the footage.

I'm pretty sure Red understands this, and will implement ramping in future firmware updates.

On the Red One, using the Origo to trigger the ramp is very effective.

Count me among those looking forward to being able to ramp-in and ramp-out on Epic. I just don't expect that functionality for a while yet, as Red deals with other functionality that is even more important to implement.
 
I'd like a ramp out added to the ramp in already available on Red One/MX!! Even better if can trigger multiple ramp in/out toggles in a single take.
 
how do you avoid change in exposure if you want to ramp the shutter?
 
Yes I understand how it could be better for some to do so in Camera, however, I remain of the opinion that when well done in post, it achieves great results, and allows you to remain at full res.

For a good Ramping in camera, the controls will need not only to manage Frame Per Seconds, but also Resolution, Compression, and Exposure... NOT EASY.

Kind of happy film is still an option!
 
If you take resolution out and compression...

So if you are going to ramp say to 120fps in 5K, then it would immediately knock all settings down to the minimum amount of compression possible, the maximum resolution...

Extreme version would be if your doing 5K and you wanted to ramp to 300fps it would put you into 2K mode and then the compression setting for 300fps would be kicked in,

Can't remember the numbers off the top of my head but you get the idea, there are defaults that will happen when you choose what your ramping to or from

as for exposure, I'm sure those that do ramping or have done ramping in the past would know the best way to expose such a shot,
 
I imaging the ramping exposure would be controlled be shutter speed/angle. Could make the 24FPS version kinda choppy. I agree that doing it in post is better, but could still get choppy results.
