I have a RED Epic Dragon (6k) that I will be using to shoot a restaurant conversation between 2 people in a couple days which I have not shot before and have a few questions. 1. Would it be easier to shoot the conversation with 2 cameras? If so, what is a decent second camera that I can get...

I have a Offhollywood Hot Link to connect my Red Epic Dragon to Wifi/Fool Control but I haven't used it in years and cannot seem to find the setup instructions online anywhere plus the offhollywoodny.com website is no more. Does anyone happen to have a copy of the step by step instructions to...

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to batch edit multiple 'Master' R3D meta data instead of in the Effect Controls panel in adobe premiere. For example, if I wanted to set the ISO for all clips from say 800 to 1600, right now I am doing it one by one by clicking each clip in Premiere, then...

I am shooting on a Red Epic Dragon 6K and have a pretty basic question about compression. Does shooting at the lowest compression, say 4:1 make a really significantly noticeable difference vs shooting at say 14:1? Since the end result would likely be H.264, I am wondering if it is worth using...

I want to start using someone to do my editing remotely and need some advice on the best way to provide them the right files. I am filming mostly in 6K and my first step of editing is selecting the scenes/parts that are worthy of using and then clipping them down in premiere either marking...

I am doing some filming with a Lomo 2.5:1 anamorphic lens. The Red Epic only displays / records in 2:1 anamorphic. Should I just record in full frame and stretch it the width out to 250% and leave the height at 100% in Premiere, or possibly shoot at 2:1 and add the 40% difference in premiere...

I've been scratching my head over this for the past few days. I create a new sequence in Premiere 2019, import a 6k (6144 x 3160) r3d and try to export a small 5 second clip from it. I've tried doing: Quicktime Prores 4444 Prores 422 Prores 422 Proxy Prores 422 HQ DNxHR / DNxHD 8-Bit as well...

I have a heavy shoulder rig (red clutch, dragon, cooke 25-250 zoom lens, focus, lights, mic, battery, etc) that is super front happy. The only thing behind the red is the battery. I am guessing it already weighs a good 30-40 pounds. Would adding a counter weight in the back make things more...

I keep getting this error when exporting a cards worth of footage via Redcine-X. Been using prores 422 proxy. The result is some of the audio at the start of the card working and the rest not getting exported properly. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? I've been exporting just audio...

For some reason there is no option for 30fps on the project timebase of my epic dragon. I can set the frame rate to custom (30fps) but not the project time base. I don’t think it’s always been like this. Any help would be appreciated.

I have one of these Cooke 25-250mm len's with the lens support that you see at the left of the photo. I have 19mm rails but it appears that the diameter for this support is around 25mm, perhaps 25.4mm. Does anyone know of an adapter that can bring it down to 19mm or at least what they are...

This may be a newbie question but I am looking to do a shot in a standard size room where everything appears in focus. I can have the camera up to 10 feet away from the subjects. I would probably use my Zeiss CP.2 15mm lens on the Dragon. Basically I want it like what you would see shooting with...

I want to film the Eclipse tomorrow via a 35mm Lomo Anamorphic lens looking at a mountain view of the city (Las Vegas) with the sun at the top of the image and have a few questions. 1. What are some last minute options as far as a solar filter go that I can find locally? I am thinking glass...

I am wondering what the quickest way to render a card (256GB) worth of 6K footage to 1080P in order to review it without having to wait for Red Player or CINE-X to load. Here is what I have been doing: For a full card, I have been using Red CINE-X Pro exporting as Prores 444 Proxy. This is...

I have a shot that requires a camera to move down a slider on lets say a 25 degree angle to get a closeup of the subject (birds eye) BUT THEN it is supposed to ascent straight upwards on a 90 degree angle preferably in the same shot. Obviously it would be difficult to do this on the slider. Now...
