Hello, I'm looking for a DSMC Canon AL Mount you might have lying about the place just gathering dust. I can't afford to buy a new one from RED, so a second-hand one is my only option at the moment. Please let me know if you have one you could part with. Thank you! all the best, .: petri

Hi folks, I noticed I haven't updated my Epic-X's fw in ages: it's running 5.2.29 from October 2014. Considering this cam has the Mysterium-X sensor, and it's worked pretty well recently, is there a good reason to update to a newer firmware? By this I mean, do the newer firmwares contain any...

Hello gents, I upgraded my Epic MX to 5.2.29 a moment ago, and had to do the dumb REDmote updating dance with my laptop again, even though RED has been aware of that issue for ages... but I digress. Even though it wasn't specifically ordered on the instructions, I decided to do a black shade...

First things first: I'm a Resolve newbie who did muddle through the relevant portions of the manual, but still can't wrap his head around keyframes and the use of stored grades (in the form of Stills). I'm hoping some kind soul could give me some advice on how to proceed with this. Here's the...

So I went and installed the new beta firmware. When I next powered up the Epic, I was greeted by a "RED SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT" screen and to continue, I have to select "AGREE". Unfortunately the Epic is not responding to my REDMote, docked or otherwise. I don't have a touch screen nor a...

I'm currently working on the DVD and Blu-ray editions of a Norwegian sports documentary called Supervention. It's basically a bunch of guys performing amazing tricks on skis. A lot of it was shot on RED Epics. It can be glimpsed several times in the movie; on a GlideCam, in a helicopter and on...

This is mainly for RED employees, although everyone is welcome to reply if they have the answer. I'm testing the new Sony 4K display with a REDRAY Player. The HDD in the Player contains a number of clips, including trailers and test patterns. Most clips play fine and look pretty darn awesome...

I've been lead to believe that AMD's display cards are quite a bit faster than Nvidia's in certain video-processing related operations. AMD's cards do not support CUDA, of course, but they support OpenCL and AMD has their own CUDA-equivalent API (Stream/FireStream). So, is BMD looking into...

Running the latest Resolve (full version) on a OSX Mountain Lion results in all Epic footage playing back in spurts of a couple of seconds, with a pause of same time in between spurts. It's like Resolve squirts out two seconds of playback, then inhales and gathers strength for a while in...

My Epic-X was used to shoot a music video this past weekend. I worked on the shoot as a mix of AC, 2nd AC and a DIT. It was my Epic's first paying job. It was also a cluster**** from the start. The script had several locations, interior and exterior. There were mentions of an airplane and a...

So I've been testing Premiere Pro CS6 quite a bit recently, thanks to its unwillingness to use RED Rocket. While testing I noticed Premiere's "Export Media" feature is slow as molasses. I mentioned in another thread I have installed some desktop monitoring gadgets to see what the CPU and GPUs...

I'm getting ridiculously bad playback out of Premiere CS6 after updating to 6.0.1. I spent a day shooting motocross at high framerates in 2K, 3K, 4K and 5K. RED Player and RCX Pro play the files very smoothly. Premiere chokes totally on all of them and keeps on throwing up the yellow "Media...

Mr. Marchant's fantastic graphs made me think about black shading and the implications of heat. Setting aside for a moment the fact that I don't quite understand why RED's cameras need black shading when competition does not (or do they?), I got to worrying about the temperature range where...

I bought a Russian Lomo OKC6-75-1 a while back, used it for the first time today and discovered something puzzling. The T stop markings go from 2.2 to 16 -- but there appears to be an internal stopper/limiter in the lens somewhere which prohibits the aperture from closing down further than ~T7...

I got my SSDs today and being a firmware whore, I wanted to upgrade my Epic's firmware to 3.0.0. However... RED's official Upgrade instructions say the camera should be powered by an AC power adapter during the procedure. There's even a line "IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE BATTERIES TO POWER THE CAMERA...
