  • 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 :)

    Can Red ask Nikon for one Zmount zoom that is good optically?

    Compressed RAW and lens distortion have zero relationship to each other. In terms of distortion in primes and zooms, I'll focus on zooms here, Nikon just released their Nikkor Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ. I'd start there. Generally you'll find an interesting balancing act between zoom range, lens size...

    Adobe Premiere Pro CC - Native REDCODE RAW Sequence Presets

    These were made over a decade ago, but generally yes. I should make a new batch however.

    RED - Sponsoring

    RED also had a decent Touch and Try even at Filmtools today in LA. I stopped by real quick. But nice to see both an educational and marketing effort. Curious to see what else they'll do.

    All high end digital cinema cameras have smart LPL mounts but Red! Post Nikon why is this still the case?

    I asked again recently. And the kit that will need to exist is LPL w/ electronics and a PL adapter with electronic passthrough. It would be interesting if the eND could happen in this effort, but it may be extremely difficult. Email the feature request address that Brian posted. There are...

    Raptor X - Komodo X Beta 2.0.1 Face Auto Focus tests (compilation)

    Haven't tested Z specific gains, but I can confirm this AF is "mo betah" and improved. Did some stuff with me jumping in the camera like everybody, but also took the camera in the world. I have a busy couple weeks, but I'll try to edit some sample stuff.

    Lens Storage

    I've seen lots all over the world. Things I like more or less are: - Cases on Sturdy Shelves - Lenses in their own cabinets to be put in cases as needed, often temp/humidity controlled - Cases on Shelves in a large Cage, anti-theft - Heavy Duty Drawer system with lenses to be put in Cases...

    Thanks

    To have the most control, do this. In REDCINE-X Pro go to: File>IPP2 LUT Creator Create Medium Contrast/Soft Highlight Roll-Off LUT for Rec.709/BT.1886, select 65 for size. This LUT is known as an Output Transform LUT. You will want to put this in Resolve's LUT folder so the software knows...

    Thanks

    You very much have a different colorspace, color gamut and gamma, between those two images. They will not match because they are not the same.

    Thanks

    You are talking to several very experienced people who provided some guidance. You have written words with no sample images to inspect or even a general workflow so we can pin down any issues you may be having. Many people wouldn't have even provided as much as they already have. I'm not...

    Thanks

    With no shared images and a very new account, I'm going to just guess/suggest this is moderate trolling with the last post being the resolve of over $40K in equipment investment. If not, I do suggest you get to know your tools better and go deeper on your workflow. I hope for you luck in...

    Thanks

    I'll start on a sincere perspective. If there's any difference between what you see in RCX and Resolve, you need to examine your Color Management and Timeline settings. Those are trivial to setup and match. This moderately is sounding like not fully understanding the REDWideGamutRGB/Log3G10...

    Thanks

    Incredibly difficult to answer or help without clips or even screenshots to inspect. But I'll say from a great deal of experience of helping others with all cameras, most issues come down to exposure or lighting decisions more than a specific camera being the culprit. You have two of the best...

    AV1 codec - the best low data level codec ?

    Mac gets official ProRes support, which is VASTLY more valuable and useful. It is still the biggest issue when it comes to motion picture workflow across various houses globally that run exclusively on one OS or even run on all three. I stopped yelling at the sky about that, but if anybody at...

    AV1 codec - the best low data level codec ?

    I can confirm that the new Blackwell GPUs are very, very good for encoding various things. Stay tuned on that front. Can't expand more at the moment.

    AV1 codec - the best low data level codec ?

    What version of Resolve do you have and what is your hardware setup? YouTube will re-encode your upload to AV1. However, I need to state that YouTube has also changed the upload and encode quality somewhere in the last few years. I have things uploaded in 8K and 4K before and after that and...

    AV1 codec - the best low data level codec ?

    It would be difficult to go into the extensive work done here, but we run expanded diffs on encoded sequences, both real world footage and test patterns and measure those against uncompressed sequences. The best I can say is most people don't explore various ways to actually encode various...

    NAB 2025 - Rumors & Wishlists

    I mentioned it on Friday's live stream, but one of the things that EF glass faces is it's older technology. Companies went hard into mirrorless mounts with new motors, protocols, and power delivery to lenses. The last first party Canon EF releases were 2018 and many didn't have ground breaking...

    AV1 codec - the best low data level codec ?

    You can encode in Resolve to AV1, but I believe it's hardware dependent for GPUs that feature encoders and decoders. Which if my memory serves correct, is 4000 series cards and now 5000 series ones from Nvidia. Some AMD cards work as well, but I'd need to dig into which ones. I do encoding...
