I just watched Side Effects. I know Mr. Soderbergh used the epic on this film as he does with most of his films as of recent, but what I was wondering was what kind of diffusion he used on this film. There's a clear glow around all light sources in the film... it seems like a Pro Mist black...

I'm a big fan of RedCine-X and while I do use Davinci for most of my grading there are times when I deem it unnecessary for certain projects to do that intensive of a grade. However that being said I think RedCine-X has potential to be much better than it already is. Seeing the preview of the...

Just got back from a shoot and these strange artifacts have appeared on a lot of footage. Here's a couple things to note: This has happened before but never this high of a frequency. It happened on probably a total of 5 clips of footage before this. However its in about 60 percent of clips...

I couldn't find the answer to this anywhere. I was curious if Red announced that you only had the opportunity to trade in your Scarlet for a limited time?

Pardon my ignorance, but I was wondering why you would choose to take advantage of using the new speed ramp feature in camera and not just do it in post?

I was talking to someone yesterday about the Epic being slashed in half. He was saying he was about to make his purchase on a new Epic, but he also said he was going to pick up a Scarlet as well since they're running a deal that brings the Scarlet brain down to around 5k with the purchase of...

So I found this tutorial on vimeo about how to add noise to your footage right in Davinci using it as a matte. Here's the video link: https://vimeo.com/49029693 Cool video, very helpful, but I wanted to do more with it. Is it possible to have a matte (let's just say a noise matte so it...

So after a few months of waiting I finally have a fully assembled Scarlet. When shooting I would like to take advantage of the extra resolution at my disposal, so I was wondering what techniques people use to make a "fake" 3k frame on their monitor while shooting 4k. I'm sure the majority just...

So I'm slowly but surely getting down a comfortable work flow. However! I would really like to take advantage of the extra 2k space when converting to 1080p. So my question is, would it be better to digital stabilize before taking the footage to Resolve Lite so that I can take advantage of the...

I was wondering if this was normal with Red footage. Granted it is blown up past 300 percent, but I've never seen pixels like these in any of my photographs on the 5d when blown up this large. Any Idea what this is all about?

Currently having an issue with exported Tiffs from Red Cine-X. The exported tiff does not match the color corrected photo in the Red Cine-X viewer. When viewing the image in Photoshop the blacks are not as crushed and the overall image is much softer. The color and white balance seem to be the...

So I’ve read in some topics discussing import duties and what not for RED products. Obviously there are different taxes depending on what type of item is shipped to you and where you’re receiving the said item. Some have stated to be careful with FedEx because if your order is scattered into...
