  • 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 :)

Red Alert color grade doesn't pass to QT proxy

Can someone help clear up RedAlert and color space confusion? Using 1.4.7 RedAlert.

1) The "preset colorspace" tab in the menu. RGB, RGB2, 709. does this need to match what mode the camera was shooting in? Is this included in Metadata?
I notice that if I have "preset" to 709, I get a view blue look in my scene. But my proxy is much warmer. If I have RGB (default) set, then my viewer is warm and my proxy matches. It's like I can view whatever colorspace I want, but RedAlert is creating proxies from a specific preset.

2) Curves doesn't seem to be affecting my Proxy. I can crank the values, but my Proxy isn't affected. However, changing ISO will affect. (It also seems there's the classic QT gamma problem in the viewers, but that's fine since I know how to deal with it.)

Thanks in advance! I've got my boss all fired up about this camera, maybe I can convince him we should own one :)
 
The Quicktime component does not currently support colorspace settings, gamma space, or custom curves. The two sections that currently pass through are the Matrix section and the Tone section (iso, exposure, etc).

The current QT colorspace is cameraRGB2.

Colorspace, gamma space, and curves should be supported in the near future (meaning it's currently being implemented).
 
Was this ever implemented? It is still not working for me.
I'm generating the proxies in RED Alert instead of the camera, but when I apply any curves, color balance, or any adjustment for that matter, it does not come through to the QT proxies file.

Am I missing something?

That is very good news. This will be very helpful for some of my workflows.

steve, that post was from over a year ago. I wouldn't hold my breath.

I really wish it was implemented though. I could have sworn a previous version allowed differen color/gamma spaces, but the current one does not. laaame. If curves were working also, it would be sweetness :)

Hehehe. Well, whether a year ago or today, those would be darn good features to get in there. :)
 
batch colorspace switching

batch colorspace switching

This REDAlert limitation caused me a big problem today because of the color space switch error associated with playing back clips on the RED with "clip settings" enabled for playback. Does anyone know a good way to switch the colorspace settings of a bunch of clips at once? I really could use some help for one of my clients. Thanks in advance.
