Hello all! I have been searching for a dual handle setup for my Raven, but I only seem to find the single-side handle setups. Ultimately I'm looking at using my minimal setup with dual side handles and a neck strap tied to two 1/4" 20 D-rings on the top of the brain (for that 3 points of...

Just curious - is there a way in RCX to stop the auto-render? Maybe that isn't the right term, but when I make a bunch of little adjustments to the curves and (well anything), I don't want RCX to 'render' the rest of the clip until I want to play it. This would reduce CPU/heat usage and wasted...

Hi all, This is admittedly a very basic question, but what accessories would you recommend mounting a DSMC2 brain to a head with this style QR plate: Obviously the included single 3/8-16 could attach directly to the brain, but that doesn't sound ideal. Thanks!

I'll preface this with I am not quite sure what this series was filmed with, but I loved it. It was visually appealing and the story had great hooks. The thing that stood out most (besides the use of, I believe it was, 4:3) during the flash-forward/present time scenes was the bokeh. In a lot of...

Hi all, I'm having a hard time understanding the difference in Color Space options when using REDCINE-X Pro and FCPX. Let's say, for example, I'm cutting my footage in FCPX in a project that uses Rec. 709. Cool. If I click on a RED clip in the timeline and edit its settings I see it's set to...

Hey all! I'm looking for a super simple way to get footage off of my Mini-Mag and onto a hard drive when I'm out shooting. Is there a tool that does this at the touch of a button or am I looking at getting a super cheap 'notebook' that I can plug the Mag reader into and copy that to a USB...

Hello, I'm hoping this is a common thing :) While grading footage in FCPX (editing with R3Ds) I finally get a look that I love. However, on export (as ProRes) and opening up in VLC, the contrast is higher and the saturation is over compensated. I have known about the Quicktime gamma shift for...

Hi everyone, Since the sidewinder tool is currently on backorder for the next month or so, I was wondering if you can recommend any substitute tools and/or just common torx/hex sizes that I could just pick up from the hardware store. I really only need it for the DSMC2 handle, REDVOLT XL Module...

Super pumped for this release. Looks to be shot on 6k Epics. BTS Video/sneak preview: Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGL-R9rYOHE

For all those not on Facebook...

The title pretty much sums up my curiosity (cine style glass aside) - how often do you use lenses with some type of image stabilization?

So this is something that I've seen a bunch on, but have never quite wrapped my head around. What's the "recommended" method for down-scaling final video output to 1080 from 4k? I'll use a very basic workflow as an example (only using FCPX in this case) Should I: + Edit footage on a 4k...

I've been really studying and learning how to read all scopes/wavesforms/etc. and more in Color Finale (and previously just the built-in FCPX color adjustments). This is the opening shot in a new video edit and ironically it's the only one where I cannot achieve anything that looks even remotely...

Hey guys, just like the title says - is it best to apply my LUTs and grading to the original media (GH4 4k h.264 MOVs) or apply to the optimized media (ProRes)? Thanks for the tips!
