Hi everybody, I'm in a time crunch so any help would be great. I'm working on a large export of files -- my first large export using Redcine X for Windows (as opposed to Mac). I'm using it to export r3ds to ProRes for an editor. I have 215 clips to export. I can start the export fine, but...

I'm in a pickle. I need a loaner camera from RED for Monday and Tuesday, and I don't know who or how to ask. I'm sitting in NYC without my camera, prepping for a five day shoot in Manhattan. Short story is, I expected Epic Penelope back from RED for its upgrade and it didn't arrive. The...

I'm a filmmaker and a bit of a vintage lens junkie, but here is a question *unrelated* to filmmaking: My father recently had two eye surgeries. As a result of some complications from a retinal detachment, he is experiencing distorted vision in one eye. Apparently everything looks vertically...

Hi Everybody. Here is a tough one. I just purchased a Sans Digital EliteStor 12gb Raid enclosure. I'm incredibly happy with the buy, with one exception. The thing is as loud as a hair dryer, and unfortunately has to live with me under my desk. (a longer cable for this type of SAS runs nearly...

I'm (finally) in the market for a larger and better RAID solution to replace my Caldigit card and drive. I was wondering if I could ask for some expert advice about which way to move forward. I have a home-built Asus X99 Mobo and Chipset. In terms of speed, what would my best option be? -...

Hi everybody! Is this the right thread? It's anybody's guess. I've mastered a DCP (well, actually two, using two different color paths) and I would like to test them ASAP. Can anyone recommend a person or place for such a thing? I live in Los Angeles and Chicago. Presently I'm in LA. I...

Hi guys, This is my first time using RedCine on my new PC (previously I had been a Mac person). I say so because I can't rule out that this is a hardware problem. I'm having two problems I'd love some advice about. First of all, I'm getting weird audio dropouts when I playback. This problem...

So my computer build is finished (yay!), and I just managed to fire up Premiere. However, I noticed as I was going through playback that I was dropping frames like mad, and upon inspection I noticed that there was under a 1% draw on the GPUs during playback. I tried to do two things: update...

After haunting this forum for a while, I thought I'd run this build up the flagpole and see what people think. My usage will be in the neighborhood of 4k playback, effects in both Premiere and After Effects, and Resolve. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/bothari/saved/VkCZxr I'm building this...

Hi Everyone, A scene from my next film requires me to get a shot of the sun. My DP (the lovely and talented Christopher Barrett) and I could not get a clean image of the sun without the grid of red dots that I've learned is flare from the Low Pass Filter. Does anyone have any pointers on how...

Hi everyone, Due to DHL being a company that does not actually deliver packages, I'm behind on my delivery to Clermont-Ferrand. Now I'm navigating subtitles. The post house is going to deliver to me an SRT file, and they seem to have no clue about the XML side of things, so I'm going to have...

Hi everyone, So, Best If Used By is an official selection of Clermont Ferrand! Hooray! Except now, they want a DCP. Oh my. I've found my way around OpenDCP and actually managed to create a working package that played on a Doremi server. Except, the color ain't right. Very desaturated. I...

Hi guys, Has anyone had problems rendering out 4k or quadHD from resolve? I'm working with a sequence imported from Premiere. It hangs every time on output of a ProRes4k and ProRes QuadHD. My colorist has two Quadro 4000s and a Red Rocket, so I don't think it's for lack of GPU strength...

I was getting some hot-hot pixels when shooting time lapse exposure of 1/2 second -- I've learned from the wiser folks on the forum that this calls for a black shade in my current fps/shutter speed. This happens to be 1 fps and 1/2 second exposure time. Problem is, I have never successfully...

Hi everyone, I just finished watching Three Days of the Condor, which was great. One thing stuck out, and I thought I'd ask here. Some of the night shots had lens flares that looked like a cross with wedge-shaped pieces (like the radioactive symbol, but with four rays). In addition, the...
