What are people's thoughts on how much longer we're going to be able to get 1.8" mags? I don't feel a need to go over to Mini-Mags, so picking up a few more 240's is on my list but not until Spring/Summer.

Hello! I just got a Helix and I'm looking forward to learning it well. I know it's something that takes quite a bit of time to master, but I'm eager to practice. So what sort of exercises can/should I do to begin to build solid technique – 101-style? Thanks!

Hello! I've sifted through the threads pertaining to the forthcoming 1.8"–to–mini trade-in program, but couldn't find anything addressing the possibility of the traded-in mags being made available as a BT item. Sure, they would have to be rigorously tested etc; but if they've got life in them...

I'm struggling here - I am transcoding a talking head interview to ProRes 422, and the transcoding times through both Premiere Pro CC 2014 and Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 are borderline offensive. The same 11 minute clip took a touch over 19minutes to transcode in FCP-X from R3D to 422 (I didn't...

As the title describes, ProRes 422 exports through AME look soft, washy, and poorly rendered (not unlike DSLR footage). I've tested sharpening combinations using the native "source settings" sharpening, Premiere Pro Sharpen and Premiere Pro Unsharp Mask - to no avail. The debayer is set to high...

Hello! I am ready to send in my brain for upgrade and am wondering if anyone has a more specific idea of what the turnaround is. All I've been told by my BS rep is the standard 7-10 business days.

Hello, Does anyone have the Xto7 converter? I need to convert an FCPX project to a Premiere Pro CC project and don't want to buy the $50 app, as I won't have any use for it other than this one time. Would anyone be willing to run my xml file through the app and send it back to me? Pretty please...

Hello! I am planning on upgrading my SCARLET to EPIC while the option is available. The original warranty on my SCARLET is up 6/19. If I take delivery of the upgraded EPIC by then, what happens to the RED ARMOR I purchased for the SCARLET? Am I out $1500? Can I apply the existing unused ARMOR to...

I just noticed that the Touch 5.0 is gone from the store. Perhaps this happened a while ago and I missed it. Will there be a replacement? The 5" size is perfect for hand-held small-rig shoots.

Since I can't seem to get a proper poll-thread to work, I figured a dialogue-based poll could work in the interim. QUESTION: Do you want to upgrade to Epic Dragon, but can't do so by the June 30 deadline? What would be a reasonable extension of the deadline? My response: Yes, absolutely. As...

Is there any insight as to whether or not we will see a Scarlet-D>>>Epic-D upgrade path open up in the future? It makes sense that there hasn't been an upgrade path because of the need to accommodate M-X>>>Dragon upgrades in order to get the field ready for Weapon. Since M-X>>>Dragon upgrades...

Ahoy!I'm doing a 2-person corporate interview next week and have to use two Canon 5Dmkiii's as the B-cameras (longer lens). I have plenty of experience shooting with the Canons, but I'm curious to know if anyone has insight on how to best set up the Canons so they cut as well as possible with...

I recently abandoned FCPX for Premiere Pro CC, and I'm exporting my first project (entirely Scarlet-D worked up natively in PP) for Vimeo and it looks terrible. I've tried ProRes 422(HQ), 422, H.264 (highest quality/bitrate/VBR-2) mostly as controls to see what Vimeo does with the files, and...

Ahoy! I'm not (intentionally) starting yet another DRAGON ISO thread. I'm looking to get info on some specific points (one, really), and "ISO" isn't coming back in searches because it's too short. I'm shooting an industrial job in Louisiana starting tomorrow afternoon and the forecast is looking...

Hello! I shot something recently that, in addition to H.264 for Vimeo, the client wants a second file delivered in MXF format for their in-house archive. I edited in FCP-X, and haven't had any luck in finding a way to transcode to MXF even outside the FCP-X ecosystem (including Compressor 4)...

Hello, Can anyone help identify this? Corrupted file? It is playing back in REDCINE-X (31) and Premiere Pro CC with this pink artifact flashing intermittently on this one clip. The clip causes RED PLAYER to crash. Was shot on a Scarlet Dragon (5.2.28) at 4KWS/60fps. It's the only clip on the mag...

I'm curious to know people's Side Handle key remaps. While I've changed a few, nothing is jumping out at me to assign to the other 4 or 5 and I know there are things that are super useful that should be there but I'm missing. Thanks!

Ahoy! First post! I am waiting on my own Scarlet Dragon, but in the interim, have been using a friend's Epic on some corporate-type jobs. While I've attained usable scratch audio for syncing to the H6 tracks, I want to get the great quality on the RED that others have gotten with a good degree...
