After updating the Komodo to 1.7.5 I wanted to try using Gyroflow to stabilize some footage but it just prompts me a message that says it couldn't find any motion data. Where can I spot that the metadata actually is in the file? I can't find any indication of gyro in the metadata when checking...

So due to the pandemic there has been much slower work with actual productions shooting for me. Because of that most of my productions have been digital or featured a lot of animation and stuff so the camera hasn't been used for around three months now. But now I'm gonna shoot a few things and...

So this dropped... While I'm excited to see one of my favourite franchises ever come back. Why is it so saturated? Feels so pushed to the limit of being pleasant looking sometimes? EDIT: Seems that many people just read the headline and don't dive into the details of the discussion here...

Now that Raptor has been released and we also got the DSMC3 RED TOUCH 7.0" I want to raise the question about a Red dedicated Komodo monitor. The new monitor doesn't work on Komodo and I also think it's too big for the smaller form factor. If Red, by any chance, is still reading this part of...

Just bought a cheap M42 adapter to use some old Yachica still lenses that were gathering dust in order to get some nice vintage bokeh for scenes that require some heavy "character". Problem is that I'm using a focal reducer on my Komodo and I can only focus up to infinity, but not infinity or...

Waiting for more solutions to monitoring questions due to the high risk of using the built-in SDI, I'm trying to optimize using Komodo Link. Problem is that the performance of the video feed is very underwhelming. I've updated to the latest firmware of both the Komodo and Red Control, but...

I've seen a lot of people having problems with their SDI ports. Personally, I've yet to use the one on mine but plan on getting a monitor to use in a setup like everyone else. But all of these issues make me wonder what is going on? I'm not talking about people using unshielded 3G cables going...

So I'm looking for a set of at least two really good LED lights. I rarely use hard lights and if I do I use practicals for that, but I really need at least two lights for softer key light and background lighting that are bi-color and have enough output for most indoor situations. They also need...

So there's been a surge of improvements to rotoscoping due to machine learning techniques. We've seen the Rotobrush 2 in AE and the Green Screen tool from https://runwayml.com/ while Resolve doesn't technically use it for rotoscoping, it has a way to one-click a person to get a mask in color...

I've read that the Canon focal reducer got some problems with some vintage lenses not working with the glass elements due to the lenses protruding too far at the back-side. What lenses can we actually use with the Canon focal reducer? Which ones do not work? I have an old Yashica 50mm that...

I'm usually grading with an output transform from a RWG/LOG3G10, but the precision of tools such as the qualifier is pretty bad since I'm essentially working with small adjustments on the LOG3G10 while the output LUT keeps roll offs and values in check. Is there any way of increasing precision...

So, after many tests, I've seen something keep appearing in regular grades and IPP2 conversions. The shadows of a shot from Komodo seem to lose a lot of colors. It feels like at the lower end, colors lose a lot of color information and things get very "muddy" and grey instead of rolling off...

Putting my Hydrogen on the Komodo using the Link I realized that the depth camera is properly facing the subject like the DJI lidar focus tracking does. Would it be possible to actually utilize this for autofocus? If there was a way to combine the internal AF of Komodo with using the depth...

All Komodo owners with V-Lock plates can easily continue with remote follow focus workflows just as with DSMC2s, but what about us who went all-in on the Canon battery route? How do we power regular and common remote FFs like the ARRI WCU-4? Some have mentioned that it's possible to get power...

I'm not sure if this is just me being better at QC nowadays or something else, but it seems like sensors are getting more flashing pixels nowadays than before? We never needed the flashing pixel counter adjustment in RAW settings on Red files before, but now we have it because Gemini had so many...

I'm aiming for pushing the limits of crew sizes for narrative shoots and I'm trying to figure out a way to get sound, without having to control the volume on set. 32 bit is the obvious solution, but I'm not sure what to get. I own a mic that can be used for a mic boom and I've not yet found any...

Big fan of Soderbergh and his no bullshit way of tackling filmmaking. This is done just in the way I imagine many indie movies will be made with the Komodo. I believe it was done before R3D implementation, so SDI recording, but good to see a pro at work doing narrative with it. Looks really good...

Been testing my firecrest NDs and I've noticed some color shift. No ND ND 0.6 How is the Komodo generally behaving compared to older sensors like the Dragon 6K (which I used these for with less shifts)? Is it the NDs that doesn't work with Komodo or what is going on? I've also noticed that...

Maybe we should gather all the stuff we encounter to help Red with firmware changes, bug finding, and so on? Had my Komodo for a week now and so far I'm digging it as my favorite Red camera ever, but, of course, there is some stuff I've encountered that I think could be addressed and tweaked...

I've been making some noise profiles for Komodo and came across some artifacts I can't wrap my head around. When I get up to 5000 and above, there are some banding lines going across a very smooth white surface (underexposed white). I've also seen that the differences between different ISOs...
