Sweet! How soon before REdCine, QT Codec and AE installer are updated?

Does Apple Color have access to the new color science with this or is it through the QT component?

Build 20 post production tool compatibility.

Build 20 post production tool compatibility.

The read me notes for Build 20 (Beta) camera firmware include these comments

Note: Download the companion version of RED Alert! (Build 20, Version 20.0.1 or later). TIFF, DPX and standalone QuickTime files rendered out of RED Alert! from Build 20 .R3D files will provide consistent color to the camera monitor ports.

Note: Existing version of RED QuickTime Codec, REDCINE and other post production tools should be compatible with Build 20 (Beta) .R3D files and QuickTime Reference files, but these applications will need to be updated before they will reflect the new Color Science. If using any of these tools, it should be expected that camera monitor and RED Alert! colors will not match to these applications, and you should re-white balance prior to performing editing or other color processing.

Note: Use of RED Alert! (Build 20, Version 20.0.1 or later) on pre-Build 20 camera firmware .R3D files can improve color purity and dynamic range and lower blue channel noise, however you should re-white balance prior to performing other color processing.

Brent and Red team,

When do you think that Build 20 will be an official build ? Build 18 is still on beta and i'm dying to have the Build 20 on commercial stuff... the Rec709 improvement in colorspace is so a major step and its a new camera that for sure.

Good job guys...
 
As I understood it REDAlert! is the only way to get the new color science to work. Until a new version of the QT codec and REDCine are released REDAlert! seems to be the only way for this to work. I could be wrong but that's what it sounds like.
 
Thanks Brent/Stuart,

For the Mac challenged deliquents of the forum, any ETA when Redcine, Adobe plug-in will be updated to reflect v20 firmware changes?

So 17v 3.4.1 is still the release build..yeah?

ps: Wow...must be feeding time at the zoo...!!!!
