  • 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 :)

We are shooting a feature film and have been experiencing problems when recording to CF.
We have been getting a random pattern of colors appear on half the frame the R3D is corrupt and crashes Redalert and Redcine when played. The colors appear to be red green and blue in a leopard skin pattern.
At first after the error appeared we changed cards and the error repeated it self. The problem then disappeared for a few days and now has re appeared but only on one of our cards this time. Our cameras are on 16 - 3.2.5 with the old 8GB module using 8GB cards.

I will post stills of these errors once the producers approve it.

We also shoot to drives but haven't had these problems with drives. Does any body know what these errors are? Or how to avoid them?
Thanks.
 
It sounds similar to a problem we had a few months ago - see this thread

long story short - it sounds like your cf module is on its way out and needs replacing. Hope I'm wrong because it's potentially bad news for that footage also (hope it wasn't crucial).

Shoot to drives in the meantime and get in touch with RED asap.

Best of luck
