is 4k 16x9 stable in build 16?

[Matt Garrett]

I have a long form project coming up and have done a quick test with 16x9 that seemed to be find.
Just wondering if anyone has run into problems yet.

 

[Vlad Martins]

i work as a DIT quite often and i won't recommend using 16x9 yet, there are once in a while problems in post with it. stick to 2:1

 

[Vigen Vartanov]

It is more stable , but we lose some footage with B16 16x9 .
Thanks .

 

[Mark L. Pederson]

We have used it extensively without issue.

 

[Alexander Christ]

No problems here.

 

[Mark Pugh]

none here

Shot about 15 interviews, all 20-25 minutes long in single takes using RC28, 16x9, 4k, 29.97 and have had no problems.

[Greg M]

that's our primary format, and we've never lost footage.

 

[Vigen Vartanov]

Sow it looks like that i am only 1 person with problem .

 

[Michael Thornton]

One is enough to stay on 4K 2:1 for me.

I bet I can find more than one person who's had a problem with just about every RED format and option Tek

That's such a negative remark...

That's such a negative remark...

There's a difference between negativity and truth...

Is it stable?

I bet you can too. Its a new camera with a new workflow and new end users collectively pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

No apologies for that.....

That's a different statement though than "is Build 16 stable recording 4K 16:9" - the answer to that is yes it is.

 

[Nikolai Vavilov]

True. Tons of 16:9 footage shot last month without any issue. Great work, RED team.

I've seen some artifacts in some of the few shots I've been taking. But its all rc28. I think it's still got room to improve in rc28 mode, and become more robust, but its generally good. I should say, the lack of a Red Raid has prevented me ever actually recording any rc36 footage, so that may eliminate them more thoroughly.

 

[M Hsu]

no problems here.

You are aware that you can shoot up to 25 fps 4K 2:1 RC36 to CF?

Thanks .

Could you elaborate what "lose footage" means?

B16 has been fine. No worries. Each build is better and better.
