Red Alert! Training Videos

[jayfarrington]

Okay, my searches aren't panning out. Where can I find the training videos for Red Alert! please?

The RedCine tutorial/training videos are easy to find in Red Support/downloads, but I'm drawing a blank on the Red Alert! videos.

Any help appreciated,

Red Alert! training videos?

 

[Brandon Fraley]

in fact, where are these REDCINE tutorials???

Well . . . not a good sign. I'm guessing there is no such thing as Red Alert instructional videos?

I suppose with Build 16 closing in, all efforts should be concentrated on Red Cine anyway . . .

 

[Steve Sherrick]

I think you'll see videos emerge once Build 16 is test driven for a little while. Not sure if they will come from Red directly, but other resources will provide them for sure. The Redcine videos available now are overviews.

www.fxphd.com offers video training for Red post and I'm sure there are others as well.

What I find really strange about all this is we all know the second build 16 is available everybody is going to update. Shoots will continue to happen and know only red alert can be used untill other apps like Redcine or others figure out the new build. There is no meaningful documentation for Redalert. So now there is no way to do many clips at once, inless you you are some kind of terminal genius. I mean there isn't any documentation for the terminal is there. I know the camera builds are top priority but the fact remains what good is a great camera if nobody can get to the footage in any kind of timely manner. I think it is high time that Red step up the developement of the post workflow or at least get the SDK out now so somebody else can.

Everyone's hoping that once Build 16 gets to a release version that they will open up the code. Seems that an uber cheap but reliable post solution will have to come from someone other than Red.

We'd all prefer that Red come up with a killer post solution of their own and educate us on it's use, but that seems unlikely. If you spend enough money, there are already solutions out there.

Was there ever a RA training video released?

 

[Sam Roberts]

No. It is very difficult getting answers regarding anything to do with RED Alert, even here on Reduser in my experience. I'd pay big bucks for a decent RA manual.

 

[Steve Sherrick]

What questions do you have specifically? I'll try to help.

 

[Jay Farrington]

Hey Steve,

Here's an easy one (I assume). The quick real time grading thing is all good, very self explanatory.

But if I want to play back at different speeds from within RED Alert! . . . standard speed, twice speed for example??

That's a tough one for Steve.

Jay, RA is not the correct application for the feature you are asking for.

Suggest you enroll in the Red course at FXPHD to understand Red workflow.

Hey Lim,

No course needed, thanks ; )

Just making sure there's "still" no easy way for normal playback within RED Alert! Sounds like there still isn't. Oh well.

Thanks,

 

[Steve Sherrick]

Jay, not yet. My system is not the fastest out there, so not sure if there are big improvements with newer systems and really fast hard drives, but I get about half speed playback.

Although, the FXPHD courses are well worth it, I think Jay has had the Reds for a while if I'm not mistaken.

To me, the best way to use Red Alert these days is through the combination of Clipfinder and Red Alert. In fact, in the new version of Clipfinder, you could argue you may not need to rely on Red Alert as much as a lot of the controls are now built into Clipfinder. But I still find myself bouncing back and forth out of habit. Very easy to do - Command R.

That way you can playback at whatever resolution you want and then when you want to make some corrections, open up Red Alert.

 

[Uli Plank]

I'd like to second this: Clipfinder is quickly developing into the "missing link" for RED footage preparation on the Mac.

So there's no way to lessen the playback quality in RED Alert so that realtime playback can occur like in REDCine? I'm on Build 20 and stuck with REDAlert workflow for a while... not too familiar with it. Was wondering if realtime playback in REDAlert is possible at a reduced quality setting such as Half Res.
