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 :)
Please do not discuss the politics of what just happened in Britain. I just want to adress the issue that if free trading disappears between Red in England and the rest of EU, we would need a new European base for Red.
We can't have Red in England being the rep for EU now they they are leaving...
I ordered the Wooden Camera cable-less mount in mid April and they have been treating the communication rather badly by pushing the shipping over and over saying "it will ship in three weeks" every time. Now they've done it again at the time it should have been shipped so there's no guarantee...
One of the new features of Resolve 12.5 is to be able to export a clip with alpha channels. Now, marketing images for this shows a checkbox for alpha under the codec in the delivery page, but I cannot see it. How do I export a clip with alpha channels?
I upgraded to the latest offical release firmware for Weapon 6K MG and now the fans do not go quiet when I press record using "adaptive quiet".
Sample (I'm starting recording on the camera mid through the clip, without a change in noise levels)
Fan noise playback
This makes the camera pretty...
I've been trying to simplify a workflow for fast Premiere projects that needs a grade but without being locked into that grade. So I basically grade a reference image and do a LUT which I import into Premieres Lumetri tool.
Now, this works with FilmConverts LUT generator, but when doing a...
I just upgraded to the new firmware on my Weapon MG and I've noticed that the rolling shutter is extremely more apparent than before. What's happened?

I bought the battle tested 7" screen for my Epic MX and it's still a great bargin and working great on my Weapon MG. But I checked out the battle tested gear in the Red store again and there's not much happening there. It's the same gear as always. I'm wondering, shouldn't there be more battle...
I'm trying to sync up a whole day of shooting by timecode but I can't mark all of them and choose "merge clips", how do you sync a days shoot automatically? Or is this another retarded Adobe-dysfunction?
I'm upgrading my MG weapon and the camera doesn't complete the upgrade attachments phase. At the time of writing it's been stuck for over 15 minutes. I only have the base expander, an AC power cable connected and the 7" LCP screen. I tried removing the screen after the PWR and REC leds stopped...
I've been trying to figure out a way to get HDRx to work better for narrative work, removing the artifacts (sharp edges during movements) that so often screw up those kinds of shots. I was thinking about why they occur and it's obviously because of a frame in between the "actual" frame of the...
Many of us thought that Hobbit looked awful in 48fps, while many others thought it looked great. There's no scientific truth about it, there's only the creative, individual and culture aspects to it. If you have grown up with 24 fps you will feel that this frame rate is "true cinema". The fact...
I was having a discussion with a friend about the future of sensors and we started speculating about the next gen Red sensor and what it needs to be in order to compete, especially if Arri comes out with a new 6K sensor in the near future.
What do you think it will be? Both speculative...
I've not jumped into ACES workflow yet so I feel a bit fresh in how it all works. Is there someone who could do a crash course for this explaining the whats, whys, wheres, hows of ACES workflow? :001_smile:
As I'm mostly directing rather than doing cinematography, are there any cheap directors monitors that can be wireless? Or solutions for using an iPad? Just a simple HDMI or SDI transmitter that could be attached to the camera and send video to a small handheld monitor.
I'm no physisist and I'm a bit over protective about my expensive things, but I'm wondering if there's a risk that the magnesium material react destructively in some situations, that can damage the camera? I was fixing my camera pelicase to fit the Weapon in the hole where my Dragon was and when...
I'm trying to figure out the best possible way to get HDRx footage to look good, reducing the sharp edges on the X-track. How would you work with heavy HDRx to reduce the artifacts created by the method?
I'm looking into using pixel blur to smooth out the edges of the X-track, but maybe there's...
I've read so many comments both on Reduser and especially No Film School about the recent "test shots" looking bad or noisy or whatever so
I put together some material from my Weapon 6K with all the settings put to exactly match what the Raven can do.
Compression 3:1
4K 24fps
ISO800
Standard...
So Jarred is on fire again at Facebook :tongue_smilie:
So can we expect high performing very small V-lock batteries now? Hopefully they will work with third party v-mounts as well :001_smile:

I'm pretty decided to go with the lower-mount V-lock from Wooden Camera since considering all the different pros and cons, but it's still quite a long time before getting it.
I was thinking about what options to go with while waiting. I have the old +1 module with cable-less Quickplate module...
So I successfully predicted this a few years back when I came across the Lytro photography. It doesn't feel like a revolution, but more of an evolution of digital metadata cinema. We are few years from having this in a nice production camera size package, but it kinda shows where we are heading...
