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 :)
I'm selling my RR in order to purchase the new RR.....This was a replacement rocket from Red three months ago (I don't know if it's new or BT). Works perfect, lightly used in a Sonnet Enclosure.

SOLD!
I've been really looking forward to putting all the new features of 4.0.9 to use on an actual job......I especially would like to take the Plus One Module out of it's box and put it on the camera. The posting in the last two weeks concerning new bugs has been extremely quite. What's everyone...
Hi guys,
On a shoot in Canada and we put the Epic on a car mount.....flying snow and all.....The camera was bagged but still got snow on it, worked fine until it dried out a bit (it's cold) and now won't turn on. I get a flash of red light and then nothing.....need it for another day tomorrow...
Hey everyone,
I've been changing my PL mt. to Canon mt. and back again with some regularity. I'm getting concerned that without the ability to properly check back focus and flange depth I'm setting myself up for trouble. Is there anyone in the Los Angeles area that wants to share the cost and...
Hi guys, on a shoot in SF and need a Red Focus to check my Back Focus, we're having issues!

Hi guys,
Here's my problem....I'm on day one of a five day commercial. My Epic monitoring is looking very soft. This is the case out of the SDI and the 5" Touch LCD. The footage in RCX seems to be OK.....But if I don't have "Focus Assist" on, the picture is really unwatchable because of...
I just got some specs for a shoot I'll be doing.....The client wants super shallow DOF, even with medium and wide shots......Does anyone have any ideas beside the obvious shoot wide open......Swing & Tilts, diopters? Is there such a thing as a prism lens of some kind? Any help would be appreciated.
Hi guys,
Happy New Year to all.....wondering if there's an adapter out there to get a PsF signal out of the Epic. I've got an old Sony LMD-9050 monitor that I'd like to put to work instead of put in the trash.......any options?
Thanks, as always.
Hey guys,
I'm on a shoot now and when I playback footage off the camera the shots look a little on the warm side, maybe 800 or so kelvin. But when I look at them in RCX they look correct, as we shot.....This is the same on the Touch LCD and down the SDI line. Any ideas what can be causing this?
Hey guys,
I'm changing back to PL mount after a brief job with my Canon mount. I've gone through the back focus adjustment with the #10 torque screw on the top of the brain and was wondering if there's any other adjustments to be done. The back focus looks good (focus is sharp throughout zoom)...
Hey guys, I just switched to the Canon Mt. for an upcoming shoot.....I can't seem to get the auto focus to work in any mode except "touch drag" (where you touch the 5" touch where you want the focus). All the other modes don't seem to do anything. I'm on firmware 3.3.14 and 24-70 EF lens is...
Anyone having this same issue?
I just installed 3.3.14 and noticed the strange frame rates in the FPS menu. Every single frame rate has a decimal point after it. And some strange defaults, like 119.88. Although after two hours of testing no crashes, but this frame rate thing is a problem...
Hey guys,
I just got my new OLED EVF (my second one) and yesterday I shot day exteriors, two actors, muted sunlight, trees, red brick building, 60 PFS. Looking through the EVF everything was low contrast, SDI monitors looked OK, and the footage looks rich and lush in RCX. I understand it's...
Hi Guys,
I'm going to be shooting a project that wants to be able to lift stills off our R3D files.....I was thinking of shooting 5KHD to keep vignetting to a minimum. With the frame size of 4800x2700 what would the "DPI" be? The post people have told us they need a minimum of 300 DPI.
Hi guys,
I just bought a Red Rocket and Sonnet Express Pro enclosure. I'm getting a message saying that "Red Rocket #0 had trouble opening. Please send a report to redcinex@red.com." Strangely it was working fine when I installed the card this morning. SDI playback, 5K playback and some...
Hi guys,
I'm trying to put together a portable yet affordable way to transcode and view Epic files (1/2 res) on location (MBP 2.3 4GB 2011 ver.). Wondering if some of you, with much more knowledge then me, could shed some light as to the pros and cons of Max Digital package and putting together...
I'm about to shoot my first job with the intention of 4K finishing. My question is should I be shooting 4K HD (as always) or just plain 4K (which seems to be larger)?. Shooting 5K is not an option due to the larger files, quick turnaround, and also possibility of HDRx (even more media).
Hey guys,
I've got a challenging shoot coming up where I need to shoot a fountain at night which is backlit and under lit by bright tungsten lights. In the background is a dimly lit sculpture which needs to be seen in the final product. I cannot use any artificial lights at all to supplement...
