We are in the final stages of prepping and ingesting all our previous media into CatDV, and I want to make sure we have the foundation set up right so I don't spend a month ingesting only to find out we did something wrong and have a huge mess on my hands. This is my first MAM migration, so...

We are implementing a MAM and new folder structure, and I need some advice. We want to be able to color-correct and color grade our footage, but I also want to make sure that it's non-destructive and doesn't impact other projects that may reference the same media. How do you guys handle...

I'm using REDline in conjunction with CatDV automations. CatDV just runs REDline commands when prompted. I have an NVIDIA Quadro P5000 graphics card with 16 GB of GPU RAM. The issue I am running into is when I'm running 4 threads of REDline transcoding 8k from the RED Weapon. The condition (out...

We are in the process of evaluating CatDV as our MAM and we have a decent ingest workflow that brings the RED files into CatDV, moves them to our network storage and generates proxies. The question I have is with regards to syncing audio. We shoot a lot of different formats, from interviews to...

We're looking at setting up CatDV as our media asset tool to help get our 100's of TBs of content organized and under control so we can find and leverage our assets without spending tons of time searching. It seems like it can be really complicated to configure and easy to mess up, so before...

We're now shooting with the Helium 8k and adding to our collection of 100+ TB of RED footage. We have a dis-organized folder structure that is the product of multiple editors saving how they felt like. At the end of the day, I want to be able to see what we have so we can leverage the B-Roll...

We shoot footage for internal use and some B-Roll for our businesses to use. We are shooting footage on the RED and have a small production team. The challenge we're facing is the fact we've never designed the right workflow, and have been working out of a folder structure using Premiere and...

We are a fast growing company that likes to push the limits. In the last few years, we've grown our creative department to a place where we now have the RED Helium and the RED Weapon amongst other cameras, the latest and greatest Movi's and all sorts of aerial and ground-based mounting and...
