am i missing something here please help

[Aaron Hucker]

we were shooting the other day on build 17 and were in 2k trying to do varispeed (120fps) and couldn't get it to go past 100fps.

we tried many things (16:9., 2:1, changing the shutter speed to 1/120th before entering varispeed etc.) and nothing seemed to work, did we loose 120fps or did i just do something really dumb? i've never had a problem before (earlier builds)

probably depend on which medium you record

 

[Cam Crowley]

RC28 or 36?
Drive or CF?

These are the most likely culprits impacting your frame rate in varispeed.

120fps is only possible to RED Drive and in 2K 2:1 RC28.

It might also work to the new 16GB CF cards as they are a lot faster, but I don't have any of those yet to try it.

Just tried it out:

Timebase 25 frames, 16 gb cf cards
2K 16:9 RC36: 90 frames
2K 2:1 RC 36: 105 frames
2K 2:1 RC 28: 120 frames

The old 8 gb cards allowed a setting of 2K 2:1 RC28 113 frames, but would produces a massive amount of dropped frames after a short while. 110 frames were ok.

The new 120 frames setting to 16 gb cards is solid. No dropped frames.

120fps is only possible to RED Drive and in 2K 2:1 RC28.

And also possible in 2K 2:1 RC36

Breizo!
Can you tell me...My RED footage is shot at 25 fps. Can I still edit it in Final Cut Pro using RED FCP log and transfer plug in without transcoding it to ProRes?

 

[Brice Ansel]

Yes you can. Except if you're playing with 4k 2/1 footage or 4K 16/9 you'll not be able to get a real time running.

i figured that was the case, thank you all.
