    Epic MX sensor not turning on.

    Now that Red is no longer supporting my camera, I am having problems. The sensor is not turning on. I am not sure if there is a bad connection. Or it overheated and something got melted or, if it is as simple as an internal connector that has become dislodged. At this point since it is out of...

    Epic MX monitor shows status info but very posterized video image

    Has anyone seen this before. (see attached) Red will no longer service my camera so I am desperate for suggestions on how to fix it. I tried factory reset, calibrating and re installing the firmware to no avail. The video looks fine coming out of the HDMI port both in record and playback. It is...

    Raw monitoring tells a different story?

    I have become extremely conscious of the noise in the picture of my Epic MX in even slightly underexposed areas of the frame. Clean blacks on an Epic seem to be an oxymoron. Cap the lens and find out for yourself. That being said however I noticed a strange anomaly on the touch screen monitor...

    I recently updated my firmware on the Epic MX and now I lose my time and date every time I power the camera down. Am I doing something wrong or do I have a hardware problem?

    How do you adjust Red "Source Settings" in After Effects?

    I know how to adjust them in Premier, just right click on the file on the timeline and select "Source Settings". This opens up a Red Cine like panel of adjustments but I don't know how to get to it in After Effects. I saw a tutorial the other day on Youtube that showed how to do it but I...

    Whites clipping at 90%. Am I doing something wrong?

    I went out and did some camera tests in my back yard and opened them up in Redcine and it seems to me that the camera is clipping the whites at 90%. I can bring the clip point up by adjusting the "Gain" setting but I am concerned that I am not getting the full dynamic range out of the camera...

    Noisy blacks in Epic as compared to new Dragon sensor.

    I have been reading all of the posts regarding how to deal with noise in low light situations i.e.. the importance of doing black shading at the frame rate you will be shooting at etc.. But here is my problem with all those strategies, and what I have experiences shooting the Epic myself. When...

    Which Color Space and Gamma Space is best?

    Can someone please explain to me the difference between Red Color 1, 2, & 3 and Red Gamma 1, 2, & 3. I have no idea of when or why to use one or another but I do see a difference in the final output.

    Re: Grading using Red Raw settings only.

    Re: Grading using Red Raw settings only. I am trying to determine what grading software to use for a feature film I am editing and how best to prepare the footage for the final colorist since I will only be roughing out the looks I want in my edit. Since I am editing 4K raw in CS6 I want to...

    How can edit on a 4k timeline in Premier and display to a 1080P monitor in real time?

    I am really enjoying editing my projects on a 4k timeline but am not sure how to get this workflow to display video on my video monitor. I have a Black Magic Intensity Pro card but it only works when I am editing the footage on a 1080 timeline. Is there any card that will do this in real time...

    Anyone compositing 4K raw in After Effects?

    I am adding a few effects to an indie film I am editing in 4K on my MBP. So far everything is going amazingly. My MBP's graphic card in Mercury Playback Hardware capable. When I right click on a clip and replace it with a "After Effects Project" it takes me to AEP and puts my clip on a 4K the...

    Why doesn't R3D source settings window reflect program out colors.

    Hi I was wondering if I am doing something wrong but when I adjust the source settings of my R3D files in Premier 6, when I adjust them to the Source Settings window, that window look nothing like the output on my Program window. What gives. I love being able to modify the meta data of the raw...
