I might have a good deal with a used Scarlet that I might buy and then be able to upgrade to Epic. I have a few questions though. Is the trade-ins available to all the Scarlet-MX owners? So if I pay the user transfer fee I will be able to upgrade? What I mean is; are some Scarlet's not...

I might be able to buy a used Epic very soon but I have some questions before. Is there a certain running hours limit where you should be careful about buying used? Is the Epic to Dragon upgrade going to end or will everyone be able to upgrade to Dragon if they have an Epic, even later (like...

I'm trying to figure out what's really the best way to go if planning to buy one system. The Epic MX is "only" 3000 USD more than the Scarlet Dragon. It has lower compression and higher frame rates, while the Scarlet Dragon has a better sensor with a few more stops and better color science, but...

So, after I have been working with Red cameras since the first ever in Sweden I'm beginning to think about buying one of my own, a Scarlet Dragon to be precise. But even though it's very cheap, it still cost a lot of money for someone that doesn't work directly as a DOP or rental company. My...

Stumbled across this. So 4K will be a format war that will block this evolution in media and set it back for some time or can anyone officially smack both sony and samsung and tell them to actually think about in what way their strategy is helping themselves or not...

Coming out of a big production with two and three cameras for every scene I'm now drowning in the complexity of editing. Now I'm wondering why there still isn't a good option for working with sound. Why isn't cameras able to include good audio handling? Enable a large quantity of audio tracks...

I'm trying to import sound recorded with an Edirol R4 and it looks like this. I don't know how to import it so that I can organize and sync it because there isn't a timecode lock on these shots. When imported they are just named 1,2,3,4.

A simple question, is this a good monitor (budget) for grading with Resolve? I've got a C6 Calman 5 for calibration and what I wonder the most is if this monitor has true CMS calibration and blue only mode? With that I can get the colors correctly to rec709. Or is there any other display that...

Help me out a little. I went through the numbers to see what it would cost to buy an Epic Dragon. If I were to buy an Epic Dragon directly it would cost 29 000 USD, but if I were to buy a Scarlet, upgrade it to Epic, then upgrade that to Dragon it would only cost 27 000? To add to that, if I...

Is it possible? I understand that this adapter only works with mirrorless houses (seems it's only for Sony cameras) but for shooting video that's exacly what it is. If used on a Scarlet, which has approximately the same cropfactor as an APS-C camera, wouldn't it be possible to get a full frame...

I'm looking for a very fast wide lens that isn't too expensive. I've come across this lens, but I have also read much negativity about it's sharpness wide open. Somparing to other lenses is it still giving good images? Is it worth it or are there better 20-24mm lenses at around T1,5 or F1,4 to...

I've been trying to get my head around what to do. I'm trying to get a hold on budget lenses because I will never have the money to buy real PL cine optics. So I've been looking at the new Sigma 18-35 1,4, I've been looking at the Sigma 35mm 1,4 (art), I've also looked at the Samyang 24mm T1,5...

Leaving all dispute and bad stuff between companies, I'd like to talk about the pros and cons of the sensors and camera quality between these two. I've never really been a fan of Sony cameras, thought they, in lack of better terms, handled skintones like shit. But the F65 is really really nice...

I've been trying to find a way to replicate the 65mm feel that you get when shooting wide angle on that format. It gives this nice wide view but at the same time you enable a very short DOF creating a unique immersive look. Is a 65mm digital camera ever going to be released (like the one Red...

I've tried to understand how this works. DaVinci works in RGB Full range natively as I understand. But when I change the settings to "unscaled legal" then does that really mean 16-235? Right now, it doesn't seem to matter what output I choose regardless of workflow within DaVinci. If I choose...

I'm not sure that the Red Projector will come out this year and I'm not sure how good it will be for critical color grading. I'm planning to get it, but because there are no information I have to look at alternatives. So, to not blow up my bank account with buying both a monitor AND the...

I've read about the ergonomics of the Artist Control and that it's better then the Wave. Currently I have the Wave and I completely agree that it's poorly designed to say the least, both in quality and ergonomics. But I'm a guy that needs functionality, reliability and precision more then...

I've mentioned this from time to time in my posts when discussing resolution and how technology is advancing. That I don't really see the how the fight for more pixels, 4K, 8K and so on is the future ahead of us. I mentioned that I believed there will come a time when a new technology comes...

So I've been thinking about this supposed standard of 6500 kelvin. As I understand it was THE standard when CRT's where around, everything shown on television looked correct if it was outputted at 6500K. But now a days almost all the plasmas and LCD's around are sold with a much higher kelvin...

I'm trying to calibrate my Resolve output but I can't seem to get it right. I use a Spectracal C6 as a meter and a RGB-LED from LG as my monitor connected with HDMI. When connecting the DPG-2000 pattern generator I can see 0-255 in range when calibrating the blackness level, but when I connect...
