  • 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 :)

Build 20 (Beta) bug tracker

Evin Grant said:
I feel like my white balance in daylight is off. Not off looking as it seems to render a very neutral image with AWB but the numbers I'm getting are in the 4000º-4500º Kelvin range even off clouds in the sky. My D3 (i don't have a color meter) is choosing 5000º-5500º as I would expect. Thoughts?

Evan,

I especially notice this when I look at the same (old) shot in the older version and new version of RA. IT seems like there is a kelvin shift to lower 5600K to around the 5000K point.

WHen I shot test charts on build 18 vs. 20 I have to say that the new stuff in the low light was on the green side in tungsten lighting and on the magenta side with a 400watt Joker. In actual daylight I found the new build 20 more aesthetically pleasing and much sharper than 18.

All the new stuff shot on 20 in the new RA is stunning.

I think what is actually going on is that the camera's white balance meter is much more accurate to what is happening. Most lighting does not actually register exactly at 56K or 32K. The red is exposing the light for what it actually is now.

I'm not getting any audio through headphones suddenly. Worked fine beginning of day, now not so much.

I've been having that issue as well with build 18. Keep toggling sound recording off and on until it comes back.

I've had similar results. Stuff shot on 17 and cranked out to DPX (full debayer- scaled to 2K) has been on the green side. Shot 20 processed 20 is fine.

Even still, b17 images look much cleaner.
 
Tim, isn't he saying that build 18 was greener and that he likes build 20 better in daylight as well?
 
I used B20 on a music video over the weekend, Daylight EXT... I hadn't set my user-keys, hit the auto white-balance by accident and it read 3453. I changed it back to 5600, weird. That was about 12 Noon.

But when grading the files later in Red Alert the files look much warmer than 5600, I felt 5200 was more accurate, when using Camera RGB/709.

Either way, images from B20 are stunning. It really does feel cleaner.
 
This beta is not exactly stable for me, I am shooting a pilot for louis Ck and decided to take the risk of build 20, and even with my hiccups, I am glad I did

Issues...I have at least 3-5 boot failures a day. I have had several clips on both the drive or CF card fail to post and cause for corrupt files (I have not investigated with red undead to recover yet)

Audio out of the headphone jack seems to come and go when it wants. Is my witness mark -20db?

I will say my camera in general has been way more unstable since I got it upgraded. It was rock solid before so I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues since getting upgraded RED vs pre upgrade.

I will cont to update but finish with saying I LOVE The quality of this build, the way it looks in the monitors is almost night and day on my end...post production, my proxies look cleaner, blacks look better...%^&*ing awesome. Keep up the good work and get this build to release! Thanks RED.
 
Still have the green screen of death when playing back from the RedDrive & Audio enabled. No headphones out is a big problem for us and on-set playback! If you toggle audio on and off a bunch of times, does it STAY on or does it keep going out? BUT, the images that we're producing are soo clean. Did some available night downtown city stuff the other night and were blown away with what we were able to achieve!
 
The other day I accidentally pushed the magnify 1:1 button while recording. Camera gave the rocketio error and stopped recording.

When trying to do a black shade calibration with a wrongly formatted CF card, the error "Not sure what to do" shows up. Maybe suggest formatting the card?

Phantom-power setting is remembered during a power cycle, but does not work. One has to manually switch it off for each channel, and then switch it back on again.
 
Not sure whether this is build 20 specific but dont want to re-install 17 to check. The camera was accidentally switched to 23.95 in the format menu but the display kept showing 24fps in the upper left corner resulting in a day's footage shot with wrong fps...
Shouldnt the display change automatically as it does when going from 24 to 25?
 
Frame Rate Indicator

Frame Rate Indicator

Nope, it shows the frame rate to whole number precision.
 
So, has anyone noticed any problems with build 20 that weren't there with build 18?

Timelapse issues persist at the 1/3 and 1/2 shutter speeds resulting in what looks like many dead pixels.
 
Copy that. I guess I'll be loading up B20 today.
 
One manor bug that almost make build 20 unusable in a commercial jobs, is that it crashes all the time when playing back clips. On my cam, 4744 I can play one or two clips recorded to a red drive, and then the screen flickers and the camera reboot. Very, very often. I would say that playback is unusable so far in b20.

..but if you press the playback buttons with very --- very --- big --- delays -- then it works.

This isn't B20 specific or new though...
 
for the past 2 weeks I was using build 20 on a high serial number camera(4000s) and playback would always result in rebooting/crashing. I switched to my camera(sn 284) 4 days ago, installed build 20 and havent had a crash since. Funny thing is I was using redram with the other camera whereas with mine Im using 2 reddrives.
