Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Shot on Epic Dragon using only practical effects & motion control in the style of Robert Abel and Associates 70ies and 80ies television ads. No CG. The computer was only used as if it was an overachieving optical printer - even the logo was done using long exposures /...
Playing back / Rendering is very slow with HDRX footage. This is with Dragon 6K footage using iMac Pro.
When disabling HDRX (using just A Frame, no blending) playback at full debayer is around 15fps, when using blending it drops below 0 fps.
When rendering it freezes, then it processes a...
I should be getting my Pegasus3 R8 this week and reading reviews online I see mixed results. Some report fast read results 1000mbps+ and others around 650mbps.
I'll be using the unit with my new iMac Pro 10Cores, 64GB, Vega64 - and will work with 6k and 5K R3Ds at low compression 2:1 to 5:1 and...
Reaching out to fellow Reduser electronic gurus.
I need help figuring out how to avoid flickering when using EPIC Dragon with my 35mm film scanner.
For the illumination I'm using a 50W Yuji Led chip (5600K version) https://store.yujiintl.com/collections/frontpage/products/bc-series-cob-400l...
Two weeks ago for reasons unknown to me or RED, the shutter on my RED DRAGON camera stopped responding. Everything else on the camera work as normal, record, playback, changing settings, formatting mini-mag etc - everything is normal except that if I change the shutter speed nothing happens - it...
Not sure what happened but the shutter on my Red Epic Dragon does not respond anymore. It seems stuck at a lower shutter speed and when I hit record there's a small flash and also when I stop the recording.
I can change to different shutter speeds as normal on the touchscreen but the current...
When crafting the color science for RED Cameras, are the color decisions based on analogue film stock(s) or is the goal to be as neutral as possible using using metering hardware / charts?
I have heard that the Panavision DXL color science is based on Kodak 5219.
Wondering what is the balance...
Someone reached out to license a video I made to use in a Network series about Hollywood in the UK.
They would like "Non-Exclusive, All Media, Worldwide in Perpetuity rights." and want to modify the footage by superimposing their own footage in the Moviola and take a couple cuts from it.
This...
My RED Touch 5" is having an intermittent issue. When I boot the camera the image in the monitor is split in half.
The left side of the screen has image and the right side is white.
I have mocked an image to show you what happens (this is not my image, I screen-grabbed a frame from a Youtube...
I'm in the market for a lens set and my budget is 20K.
Was looking at Schneider Xenon 5 lenses set or used set of Zeiss Standard Speed MK II.
I shoot on 35mm and Dragon, the talk of CA on Xenon is a little worrisome - how is the CA on Standard Speed?
Let me know what you think.
Yesterday after a day shoot I wanted to relax and review the footage on my living room TV but the blacks were crushed. I had to switch my TV color space setting from the default 16-235 to 0-255 in order to view the footage correctly.
I never had this issue before and I'm wondering if the new...

Had fun with my Dana Dolly motion control (see this thread http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?132643-Dana-Dolly-Motion-Control for more information on my setup ) over the christmas break and shot some old school miniature motion control effects using a $20 Revell SnapTite Millennium Falcon...
I shot some "frame triggered" footage and when opening the clips in RedCineX the computer hangs because there's too many markers.
Any way of disabling markers in camera or in RedCineX?
Resolve is loading clips with no issues.
Are there any issues running a Dragon for long periods?
I have my dragon in "frame trigger" mode and I have to run it for 10 hours+ triggering frames - I'm not running the camera at any speed, only 1 frame at a time.
I would like to build the Sync Trigger Button shown in the DSMC Operation guide but I'm not too sure how to read the circuit shown.
I got the parts but I need help figuring out where to connect and solder everything:
AA Battery Pack (for 2 batteries)
Push button toggle switch
100ohm 1/4 watt...
I have blackshaded 1/2th shutter @46c and when the temp is off by 1 degree, the image starts shifting with a green cast.
Is this normal? I don't notice this as much at higher shutter calibrations.
