Hi Guys so I need to ask, why is Premiere so loved? If it worked, it would be a great tool but it sucks and I'll tell you why... In FCPX, I've been cutting my epic footage at full 5K 3:1 with no problem at all. All I do is transcode media and start working. Once I'm done, I just hit a button and...

HEY EVERYONE! Check out my quick reel I filmed and edited in Newport Beach, California with my EPIC X. This isn't a standard reel but rather a sequence I built to showcase my stock footage for California's southern coast. All media is up for grabs so just contact me if you're interested in...

Hey guys so I'm kind of baffled right now. I am planning to upgrade my super wide angle to eigther a tokina 16-28 or a canon 16-35 but on thing that's really weird is I've attached my tamron 10-24 on my epic and it works at 5K FF! I mean all the way at 10mm and barely any vignetting... I don't...

Hey guys, I've updated to BETA version 5.2.9 the day it came out and today, I wanted to go through and see the features and learn them. Unfortunatly, I can't find a list anywhere of the new features listed (IE- ADDED Burst mode, Added red gamma 4) All I can find on the red website is the list...

I'm wondering if you know if my Canon 100-400 mm needs a lens support on my Epic with a canon AL mount? If it is nessisary, I see that there is a huge price difference between 15 and 19mm rod lens support systems. Kind of ridiculous. It's the same thing except triple the price for 19mm. I have...

Hey everyone! So I'm upgrading my tripod kit and despite all my research, I have a tough time deciding. To start, I'm a wildlife cinematographer so I need something heavy duty, light and super smooth for my lenses. I was looking at 2 heads. The Miller Compass 20 with solo legs thats $2,600 and...

Hey everyone. I'm shooting a nature documentary on grunion fish that come up on the shore at night. Planning on shooting with my Epic but trying to figure out my lighting solution. I need to light the subjects so the viewer can see the fish but at the same time, I don't want it to look like...

Hey guys so I'm selling my Zeiss CP2's to this guy for a great price for the both of us. I am selling them because I'm building my kit for wildlife cinematography and primes obviously don't work hand in hand with wildlife filmmakers. I'm stuck between two things. 1. using the money for an Epic...

So I was testing out an idea that I had today and I really like the results I'm getting so far. I really like the way the ALEXA processes colors and so I went into Davinci and applied the (ARRI ALEXA logC to Rec 709) LUT to my R3d's in Red log film mode. Honestly, The results are pretty amazing...

I'm going to be DP'ing on a shoot in the next few weeks for a short that will be filmed mostly in a real cave. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on lighting? I won't have access to any lights that require power from a generator. I was thinking of using LED panels for hair light and...

I take a lot of long exposure shots at the beach and waterfalls with my 60d. I own a scarlet and I was thinking, If I shoot water with the scarlet at 1/24 shutter at 23.98 would this give me a nice look or is it better to shoot 1/48? I like the blurry glass look on water but for video, I'm not...

Hi everyone. I own and operate the scarlet and my main source of work lies in wildlife filmmaking. I wanted to know if there is a way to get SMPTE bars or a color gradient baked into the red mag as an r3d. The reason I want this is so I can create a look for general purpose reasons. The Varicam...

I'm dying to upgrade my scarlet to an epic but the 10k price is (I don't care who you are) expensive. For me, the epic's slow mo is my main reason for the upgrade. The 5K is whatever atm. Is there any program I can go through with Red where I can make monthly payments? On the upgrade page, there...

I know it's a boring subject but while we're on it, let me ask, "Do you need to black shade for every location change or is this more of a maintenance thing?" For safety, I've been black shading when I feel is appropriate (IE: from day on location to interior shoots). I've also been black...

Hey Everyone! So, I am a self taught cameraman. I never went to school for photography or video work but the work comes :) I have a question though... as like everyone else on here, I'm very particular about getting the best image possible coming form my Scarlet X. Is there some thread or video...

Hi everyone! I'm wondering what I could do to be an apprentice under a skilled DP. I'm a RED owner/operator and I do light on small gigs and operate on most jobs but since I have never been able to afford film school, I've read books and practiced on my own. I feel that I am decent at lighting...
