I experienced a weird thing looking at some test footage. There seem to be horizontal lines in the image, either darker or brighter than the background. However I can't seem to replicate it. We shot this with a back projection and the ISO somewhat cranked up to 1600/3200. I'm at this time only...

So, because of Brexit, it's now announced that Britain will leave the EU market. This means that the preferable store for EU nations shopping Red gear in UK isn't going to be preferable anymore. We need a new shop to buy Red gear that's within the EU market instead. Earlier we had Red Berlin...

So this just landed :emote_happyhappy: I've never seen so many perfect choices for a sequel. Denis Villeneuve has proven to be one of the best directors around right now and Roger Deakins is doing the cinematography. Perhaps he finally gets that Oscar :tongue_smilie: One thing I love about...

I've been looking into flexilites as a replacer for my years old Redhead kit but there are two companies out there, Westscott and Aladdin. I've worked with the Aladdin ones and loved them, but how do they differ from Westscott?

So Avid is changing the codec naming from the usual DNxHD 36, 120, 185 and 185x (25p) to DNxHD LB, SQ, HQ and HQx. The problem is that the new naming isn't on par with the quality of the old version of the codec. DNxHD 36 is supposed to be the go to codec for editorial that looks good enough...

I did a shoot where I used Avid MXF DNxHD SQ as my proxy editing format. When playing the files in Avid, it plays really slow. I also encountered several artifacts that aren't present on the R3D files. Attached an example. What is going on here? I already sent the camera in for a checkup where...

I did my first shoot using MXFs as editorial proxies in-camera (SQ quality) and when I'm editing the footage on my macbook pro, the fans start to spin up and it gets hot. The footage also plays very sluggish, scrolling sometimes just freeze before working. I've been trying to tell both Red and...

Fromt he trailer alone it's easy to say that it's one of the best looking features to come out next year. However, there's little info on what it's shot on. From the looks of it, many shots feel like Alexa 65mm based on aspect ratio and depth of focus, but it could very well be 8K VV. Colors...

So, this is an old article about how Alexa treats colors and saturation. http://www.dvinfo.net/article/production/camgear/what-alexa-and-watercolors-have-in-common.html I was thinking about how to match or create some kind of Red to Alexa LUT or a node structure in Resolve to replicate how...

I'd like to guess that these have external gears for regular FFs and internal cine-grade motors for remote focus? Please :tongue_smilie: (From Jarreds FB ;)

My timecode, or rather the date that it's referring to is reseting to Januari 2010 at 00:00:00:00 at random after the camera has been switched off for a while. Why is this happening? Is there a bug in the latest firmware?

A simple question, has A.D.D ever been used for motion pictures? The render time is monstrous and it's probably only used for stills, but with enough firepower it would be possible to render out DPX sequences with A.D.D. Is anyone doing this? Are the benefits well worth the extra render time...

Was wondering if the accessory credit for those who still have it since last year can be applied to the Helium upgrade price from MG? We still don't know the upgrade price, but MG owners couldn't afford CFs which means if the upgrade price is going to be too hefty for MG owners no one will be...

Not quite a biggie to create a new thread about, but as a director and filmmaker I kinda miss a general topic of filmmaking in the shooting on red section of the forum. Is anyone else missing this kind of forum? General about filmmaking, theory, practical tips, directing, screenwriting...

Waiting for my Wooden Camera battery mount I was wondering about my old cable-less battery mount for my Epic Dragon, which is now useless. I'm gonna try and sell it but I was wondering how complicated it would be to just change that into a working battery mount for my Weapon? Wouldn't a...

I was just doing some tests and went into the clip viewer and selected a clip. When I entered playback mode, the camera just started to go crazy with the fans and I couldn't do anything. I pressed the power button and held it in and then the screen went to black but the camera still had the LED...

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but why is the Adobe CEF helper pushing the processor when idle? My laptop is burning up, fans spinning without ever touching any adobe app. Since adobes forums are non-existent in it's feedback from Adobe themselves, I'm hoping someone else here could chime...

So I did a quick test of shooting Avid MXF files both as primary codec and as proxies. I've found that there's a a few things lacking at this time that needs to be fixed. First I noticed is that the 444 quality do not work in Avid MediaFiles as MXF media. The latest version of Avid quarantines...

I've read so many threads about scratched or cracked displays now that I'm wondering why Red doesn't have a cheap plastic hard cover for the displays that protect them while not shooting? Having a "slide-on" cover with a soft inside that can stand against outside pressure would ensure that while...

I'm looking for a good rain cover that is fast and safe. I looked at the EWA Marine bag eariler, but I'm not sure it fits the Weapon design good? Also, I'm not sure if it's any good to use an underwater housing as a rain cover since there's no water cooling the camera around it. Is there any...
