A Few Questions

[Grayton hevern]

Hi,
I have a couple of questions, 1.what are people using/recommending to verify their data once they have transferred, 2. and as the camera shoots raw and doesn't add post processing in camera I have had some people say the image look soft as they are use to seeing over sharpen video, what level of sharpening are people applying and where in redcine/redalert/scratch are they applying this. 3. Also what level of success are people having using crimson to help the online process?, 4. I have been told that alot of stuff coming out on red that isnt finished at a big post house is coming from the 2kproxy, either converted through log and transfer or compressor, any truth to this? 5. Also has anyone put up a detailed pathway for red post in relations to all aspects, film, tv, commercials, seems like there is plenty of information on basics just wanted to see if there is something more detailed to check that the way I am posting red is the most efficient.
thanks to who replies

Is anyone going to give me a helping hand? This site is pretty much the only place I can see for red info, can someone who is using red is post answer the above question in greater detail than I can find available on this site, in particular the sharpening questions and verifying data on set. Were my questions to vague?

hi - what are editing on (FCP or AVID), what OS?

i am WINDOWS and use REDCINE. job was 2k @100 fps delivery 1k.

used DPX output with final grade in BASELIGHT.

offline was a bit soft but final dilivery perfect.

if you have time troll through some of the treads here - they tend to have most of the info you want as most people are asking a lot of the same questions

hope this little amount of info helps........

thanks wayno
You say you used redcine to do dpx out, coming out of final cut and taken it through crimson and sending it to redcine has not been a process that seems to work well for me, I am following the limited instructions and maybe missing a step but any edit which seems to have a slightly more complex edit that simple cutting it doesnt seem to match. so how are you "neg selecting" what size of projects are you taking through this method, is sharpening applied in baselight in your workflow? As far as trolling through the threads its is something I do on a daily basis and it can be where I get confused as the information seems to be varied, the workflow of the camera is something I would love spelled out to me in great detail, as the time I have already put into trying to get it right has been great, where does crimson work and where does it not?, i am fine with spending the time to work all this out as I am currently, was just hoping someone could share their methods with me. If this format is to take off in the way that it should we need to have a clear path for all aspects of post and be honest about the downsides, if you own your own company and edit suite time is not a concern then none of this is as important as you are not on a clock, my questions are about workflow, the camera is being used a great deal and on big products, if I could hear how its been pushed through the pipeline that would be great.
thanks
