Hello, We need some Steadicams shots for a two camera scene and the op suggests we use an Angenieux cine lens on his camera, rather than a Canon L series photo lens, which is what we're using for everything else. The edit will be cutting back and forth between various scenes in general. I am...

I'm wondering if it is possible to use a Windows 10 laptop as a monitor to view playback directly from a RED camera via HDMI? Thanks

Hello, I shot landscapes in my first documentary feature with a Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8 II and was pleased with the results (but no longer have the lens). For this project, I would like the flexibility to shoot as late as twilight, and unlit interiors, so have been thinking about getting faster...

Hi there, I recently had some scans made of some LP covers and am not all that happy with the results. However, I am not sure if some of the problems may be limitations of the source material or with the scanning job itself. Please find attached examples at 600dpi and 100% size. For instance...

Hi there, I'm working on a 4K project and am wondering if integrating a few short instances (5-10 seconds) of 2K footage will result in a noticeable rupture in quality when screening theatrically, or otherwise, at 4K? Many thanks...

Hi there, I have a large amount of footage affected by corruptions. The corruptions are either present visually (purple flashes for usually one frame at a time) or unseen variations which prevent exports (which I have solved by locating the latter by loading clips in REDCINE-X, which lists the...

Hi there, I am wondering what are the best settings when exporting footage from REDCINE-X in regard to getting the highest quality possible? Would this be uncompressed Quicktime or are there better options? Many thanks...

Hi there, I need to get a number of printed materials (photos, letters, articles etc) scanned by numerous people across the U.S. for a current project. I would like to get the material scanned at the highest resolution possible to allow for zooming/re-framing. I am wondering what is/if there...

Hi there, I have a shoot coming up, need a good slider (for basic slider moves) and was looking to rent a CineSlider with a motor. The rental house is suggesting the Panther JibGlider as apparently it is more appropriate for the Scarlet's weight. Does anyone have any experience with the Panther...

Hi there, I need to get an establishing shot of a city I will be filming in on a forthcoming shoot and wanted to do this at either dawn or dusk but this may be very difficult to due scheduling conflicts. I am wondering if it is possibly to simply shoot during the day and alter the image in post...

Hi there, I am transferring large amounts of R3D files (250GB-1.75TB chunks) from 5x 5400rpm 2TB drives to 5x 7200rpm 2TB drives simultaneously (via 6x USB 3.0 connections and 4x SATA III, with copy/paste in explorer) and the transfer speeds are incredibly slow. Initially the USB 3.0 speeds...

Hi there, I'm working on a large project (almost 20TB of 4K footage on 10x 2TB drives) and am looking for a budget RAID solution for this. I've never used RAID before so am unsure what the best/cheapest option would be. Perhaps three of these might suffice...

Hi there, I have just taken some footage using the Scarlet with a Glidecam and the results are quite disappointing (shot at 24fps / 48s shutter). If anyone can please let me know the best frame rate and shutter settings to avoid motion problems (but without negatively affecting the look of the...

Hi there, I need to buy a new PC and am looking for something capable of working with 4K sequences at 1/2 resolution in Premiere and 2K sequences at 1/1 (although I am unsure if it is the case that 4K files in 2K sequences only require half the processing power?). My budget is about $2k. Based...

Hi there, While shooting birds in flight on a current production we initially rented a Sigma 300-800 (which required renting an O'Connor tripod), shooting at 3K/48fps on the Scarlet. I was not happy with the results, primarily due to the frame rate limitations (looked into Twixtor to rectify...

Hi there, I am looking for a Steadicam/Glidecam Operator for a day's filming for a documentary feature shot on RED in the Bay Area in June. If anyone can provide this service or can put me in touch with anyone who can I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi there, Please could anyone tell me what is the best frame rate and shutter speed combination for car-mount shots? I recently did a shoot at 23.976p with a 48s shutter (settings were chosen by the DP) and there are pretty bad problems with motion blur when the car speeds up or when objects...

Problem with 48fps footage in Premiere ("record frame rate"/"frame rate" disparity) Hi there, I am working with R3D files shot at 48fps and trying to work with these at the correct frame rate in Premiere CC. According to the metadata on RED Player the "record frame rate" is 48fps but the...

Hi there, I have been having problems (primarily with focusing at longer focal lengths and intermittent choice of only two f-numbers) when using the Scarlet with a Canon 100-400mm lens + Canon MKII 2x Extender. I am wondering what could be causing these problems and if there are any...

Hi there, My DP has been using a Glidetrack Hybrid HD slider with the Scarlet and while the results we have achieved with this combination have mostly been satisfactory I am now considering upgrading to a motorised slider to (hopefully) achieve perfectly smooth and even results every time. I...
