In an attempt to declutter the popular Birger thread, please use this thread for any emotional comments about this lens mount. Collectively, I wonder just how much time has been spent reading and theorizing about the Birger mount. What is your favourite definition of "soon", "next week" and...

Here's an attempt at uncluttering the famous Birger thread. :weight_lift: So let's start: What cool new features do you wish for, new applications, new gadgets? Why do you think the mount is delayed, and what is this talk of a redesigned mount, possibly related to the new iCable? Does this...

I've noticed that of late quite a few people are posting their video via Vimeo. I am very impressed by the video quality, that is no doubt superior to youTube. So today I had a look at their terms & conditions and stumbled upon this sentence: Though I am thankfully not a lawyer, from what I...

This years IBC will be from Friday the 12th til Tuesday 16th of September. Red will have a lounge, nothing major. Is there a Reduser meet-up already planned like last year? ( http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3470 ) Who is planning on coming? And which vendors? I would love to...

For those casual RedUser readers, here's a little roundup of what has happened this week: Adobe Premiere will soon (next week) support R3D natively. That means no more transcoding. Will work on both Mac (Intel only) and PC. Also After Effects. Other (unnamed) applications will follow. Build 16...

Coffee and Celluid has a nice post summing up a recent panel on documentary production. A recommended read for anyone working in the doc genre. http://coffeeandcelluloid.com/2008/07/15/the-state-of-the-documentary-panel/ Biggest mistakes: Not writing name and phone on DVD Go for best quality...

While looking through eBay and searching for "EVF" I found the "EVF Volumizer". Does it employ the same principle as the gear that claims to turn the 5" LCD into a EVF, only that it converts a EVF into a 7" LCD...

I know that there are a couple of people working on Red-optimized solutions for backing up CF cards on set, but as of now it seems that most people rely on some system with a lap top and some external harddisks. While surfing, I came across a thing called the OmniDupe, a 1111 USD, available...

I'm looking for new legs and would like to have some input. Small crew, often one-man show. So they should be relatively light and speedy to set up. Carbon Fibre, 100mm ball bearing, and have a mid-level spreader. I love the Sachtler spreader, but have read about the Roadrunner and Miller...

Just saw that Big Jon has updated the schedule: Good Work! http://youtube.com/watch?v=LnTrZYHK_II

Got a bit tired of checking the delivery update every now and then only to find no change. Then suddenly there is a change. So, I've been looking for a solution. I tried finding out if there was an RSS, but the closes I got was an RSS for the whole site, or for a specific forum, but not a...

Can anyone help me on how to turn a Quicktime HD file into for Digital cinema - without spending thousands of dollars? I have a 1 minute animation that needs to be screened digitally, and they only accept that format. They say that they could convert it, but first they need it on HDcam tape...

OK - of course I am envious of all you lucky bastards that already own, or are about to own, a Red One. So here's a list for the rest of us, those who have to wait... Why we are lucky that we have to wait for our Reds: Build 16 will be very stable and established Build 18 Beta? The Birger...

After reading Big Jons post again, I saw that Red is (planning on) offering hands-on courses for new Red One owners. But when searching the forums I get zero hits on "Red day". Are they simply not yet happening or is everyone on a NDA?

We have a couple of G5 based systems, and I´ll wait to get an Intel until we get our Red. That said, I would love to play around with a bit of R3D footage, but from looking at the Red Support site, it seems that all software needs an Intel. Is there not a possibility to view R3D files on a...

While waiting for our camera, I have been spending way too much time on this awesome forum. Here are 3 small suggestions for things I could imagine to see improved: :calm: When including a link in a post, this link should be bold or underlined, or somehow distinguishable from normal text. (Or...

From what I understand, lots of film gear can be used on the Red One - matte box, lenses, follow focus. Now, from my focus pulling days I still have a changing tent for sizes up to 35mm film. I imagine that this should work fine with current and near-future CF cards. It should work fine on the...
