Watched through season 3 of Stranger Things, which was shot on Thalia and Monstro 8K. I noticed a lot of stuck white pixels throughout. It was visible in every scene, jumping around based on what I presume is a multi-cam setup on each set. Why did these make it to the final delivery? First...

I shot a project primarily to be 25 fps but shot at 30 fps for a bit of slomo. In the edit we decided to go with 30 fps real time instead and keep 30 fps as the timebase. So all the shots have been speeded by 120% on a 30 fps timeline in order to have all movements correctly smooth. But when...

I'm trying to calculate the speed of a clip so I can return a 25 fps clip to 30 fps which it was shot in. In Premiere and Avid there's a base-speed of 100 (percent) and I'm not sure if my math is correct. 30 / 25 = 1,2 Therefore, I set the new speed on 120. But when doing so I get the lost...

It's always been a discussion around Red about what ISO is actually the base ISO. Some influencers always point out that ISO is irrelevant when working with the sensor, but it's not. ISO is just a mathematical calculation (Gain) of how the base image is handled. Basically, most cameras have been...

Since we won't be able to fix the internal battery problems that have been plaguing all Red cameras, I've tried to look into how to recharge the batteries. I've been using just regular batteries to keep the camera running in order to charge the batteries from time to time, but this methods is a...

Did a regular 1080p job with some 4K material and all of a sudden, boom, BSOD crash. I've been working with PP 2018 for a while and no problems, but PP 2019 gave me two BSOD crashes in a row. I tried searching online for any info, but mostly just "support-like" jargons that don't help at all...

Just installed Resolve 15 on a new system. It worked for a few days and without any changes to the system it suddenly stopped working. It crashes without any error message once the loading screen gets to "loading waveform". I've re-installed, restarted the system many times, re-installed...

I've downloaded it and tried creating a DCP but getting some weird green pixels on the final image. Now, this isn't a grade I've done so I'm figuring that it's not able to process the extreme colors (out of gammut?), but I'm not sure what to do? There are no settings in DCP-o-matic to limit...

So, the question was put out in the reveal thread, but I wanted to ask in general why this isn't viable? I mean, it's even bigger than s35 than Dragon 6K and it gives the benefit of downscaling to 4K while having the low-light performance (might even be better in 6K) of the current Gemini. Is...

So, I'm curious how this is achieved as a global patent how it's handled. I'm no inventor who's regulary inventing stuff, but I have a few ideas, but no project going. How much does it cost, what does it take and so on to get a patent for an invention or idea about an invention? How detailed...

Just saw Annihilation and it's a true Sci-Fi masterpiece in my opinion. I also liked the look for the most part, but mostly because of the art direction. The cinematography was however a bit weird. Some shots are really good, but there are a lot of very blown out highlights and not in the nice...

Shooting a studio green screen this weekend and I had planned some daylight HMIs for the occasion, but now there seem the budget doesn't hold for more than tungsten. So I'm wondering... The Weapon 6K is rated to 5000, that's where you benefit the most in terms of color quality and so on. Having...

We're shooting a spot that has a timebase of 30 fps but we want slomo that works with European lights so we shoot it at 50 fps. Now, the spot is supposed to be 20 sec exactly in one take so I'm trying to calculate the exact shooting time. Is there an app or something that could help with that or...

I was testing out the gear for a shoot tomorrow and when I attached my Red Brick to the WC Blueshape V-lock (lowmount) the camera didn't start. I've been asking before about the clicking noises in the mount when it's starting up, but no one, including WC has said that there's anything wrong with...

Just watched through them all and I have to give a big set of applause to Christopher Probst and Erik Messerschmidt (and Fincher, although not here) for their fantastic work. It's one of the best looking things I've seen shot on Red and this is "only a TV-series". Would be nice to hear closer...

So I edited a project with proxies at 1080p where I added a lot of warp stabilization effects. They look smooth and good on the proxies, but when switching to my 4K graded online footage, re-analyzing these warp stabilized shots turn out aweful. How can increased resolution and contrast create...

Really like the feature, but I'm not sure what it is doing exactly. Is it just mid-tone contrasts with clarity setting? However, there's a problem with it. It's creating ugly banding on smooth surfaces. A blue sky looks like 8 or less bit rather than high 10 or 16 bit. Is it supposed to do this...

I recorded an event Friday night where I rigged a Zoom H6 as a camera mic with minitele into the mic-jack on my Weapon. When looking at the material the sound sounds like going through a fan, vibrating. What's causing this? It was mostly atmospheric sound of people, so it works, but why does it...

I'm doing a shoot of an event tomorrow and it's gonna be about an hour non-stop from rec to finish. I'm wondering about some precautions to take for this, like not filming in adaptive-quiet instead just adaptive and also use external power. But is there anything to think of for long shots like...

I've been watching the Steve Yedlin tests on showing how resolution of cameras rarely matters for perceivable resolution and while that could be discussed back and forth, the thing that caught my eye the most was how clean, sharp and smooth the Alexa 65 looked when doing a true comparison with...
