I did a small test yesterday copying a full mag (7.3GB) to my computer using different connection types and operating systems. The computer used was a Quad-Core PC with 3Ghz and 4GB Ram. The target drive was a RAID-0 (just used for the test). The RAID was formatted NTFS for Windows and Apple...

Hi Whenever I try to print out a still from a Quicktime Proxy, Quicktime creates a six page document with different sizes of the image. Is there a simple fix for that? Regards Simon

Hi I cannot start Redcine on my Vista system via the desktop alias. I have to navigate into the Redcine folder and then right-click on the redcine application. In the popup menu I have to chose "run as administrator". Then Redcine opens. I work mostly on XP and OSX. What do I have to do to get...

Hi I was talking to the lens tech at our rental house. A few years ago he rehoused a Nikkor 17-35mm Zoom for use with 35mm cameras. The lens is very nice. The focus gear has been reversed so it is correct for PL and there are precision markings for focus, zoom and f-stop. The focus rotation is...

Hi I started an open map that contains the location of post houses that can online red footage. It shows places that can natively master Redcode Raw (have Scratch) with red marks and places that can online red footage but without scratch with black marks...

Hi So I would like to build a remote start/stop button for the red. I can soldier and I know where to get the parts. But I don't just want a simple start/stop button. I want to build one that has a LED that lights up when the camera is rolling. :huh: So I think I need to add some electronic...

Hi Could someone please post the pinout of the RED SATA plug? I'd like to put a similiar Lemo connector to my download station. I guess it is a combination of power and Sata-Data, right? So if you have the connector, a Sata cable and a molex connector. How do you wire this up? Regards Simon

Hi Has anyone tried to use the Quicktime proxies and QT Pro to create offline clips instead of Redcine? It should be quite a bit faster and the best thing is that you can batch process it. You could use a software like Discreet Cleaner XL and just set up a batch at the end of the day with all...

Hi Anyone who was asking for a 4K display, here is what you have been waiting for: http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/video-panasonics-150-inch-plasma-defies-reality/ It's 8'x11' and coming out next year :biggrin: .

Hi I'm building a wiki about post production workflows. Not exclusive to - but including - different RED workflows. The idea is to have one reference site that always has actual information for the needed workflow from camera to screen. When a software update is released (like the much...

Hi What is the recommended PC system to play back a 1K Redcode RAW Quicktime in real time? Meaning no dropped frames or stops during playback. Does it play in Redcine as good as in Quicktime? Is a 2Ghz Quad-Core better than a 3Ghz Dual-Core? What graphic card is recommended? How much RAM is...

Kodak announced it's Vision 3 filmstock today. There is a nice video on the kodak page: http://www.kodak.com/DE/de/motion/evolution.jhtml But other than that there are no details yet. You cannot really tell the difference to vision2 from the small web movie but I'm curious to test it out...

Hi I'm guessing that we won't have native Redcode RAW support for at least another year on Avid so for now we would have to go the offline route. I laid out a workflow for a feature lenght movie that will be mastered in HDCAM SR. Parts in red are not clear or possible yet. On the set: Shoot...

Hi As of right now the Red camera cannot playback footage. So there are two other alternatives to playback what you just shot. Download the material to your storage workstation and watch it there Use an HD-SDI downconverter and record it on a clampshell or PVR What's the minimum hardware...

Hi I was wondering how the B4 mount will look. Video zooms are constructed for a 3CCD system and the flange depths for red, green and blue are different. This means if you adjust the mount for the green part of the spectrum red and blue will be soft. Will the RED B4 mount have internal...

This is the package I would order for an average TV movie with a one million dollar budget. If you want to rent out your camera that's what you have to provide or have access to: Camera package: 2 RED bodies (One as backup and occasional 2nd camera) with full accessories. 1 RED 18-50mm Zoom 1...

The Swiss RED network. So far there are only private owners. http://www.redswiss.ch/redswiss/redswiss.html

Hi I know a few people who have an option for the Red camera and I hope to shoot the first short by the end of this year. The one thing to consider is that it is not enough if you just rent the camera. You will need a proven solution to get all the footage safe to the editing room. Producers...
