Build 18 Anamorphic mode issues with QT references, Redcine & RedAlert Output

[William Wedig]

so basically shooting using 2x anamorphic and B18 4K ana in the end what aspect ration produce?

It shoots a 1.2 aspect box out of the middle of the frame. When you de-squeeze out to 2X it become a 2.4 aspect, but you can crop slightly or a lot for whatever you want.

B18 anamorphic does not work in QT or RC. QT should be out tomorrow.

Am I missing something or has the QT codec gotten updated to support it? We can't seem to get it to work over here (the usual black and white squares show up) with stuff shot recently on the latest build 18.

At red.com it seems the last time the QT was updated was 9/23.

I have a shoot coming up and it'd be nice to have QT wrappers by then for on set review without have to down convert with RR or something...

What is the differents between build 18 and 16 Shooting Anamorphic

Hello all red users

I'm shooting Anamorphic this week and the camera is in build 18 shooting anamorphic 2:1. I would like to know the differents between builds 18 and 16. Would build 16 allow viewing of QT file on set.

Is it possible to go back to build 16 from 18

Kind regards.....C

As far as I know you can switch from b18 to b16. It's just after b16 that you can't go back to earlier ones.

b16 gives you a frame guide at a 1.2 aspect but still displays squeezed. b18 unsqueezes.


One though I had was that with anamorphic lenses you get a lot more image on the right and left, and it might be useful to have that information while editing in case the framing is off and you need to pan and scan or something.

So I guess this is for the Red Team, but could you implement an anamorphic shooting mode that unsqueezes in the monitor but still shoots the right and left to allow for pan and scan later?

I will doing a short on a new set of Hawk Anamorphic soon so I am curious to how this has been working out for those using build 18. Also, if anyone is interested in renting these lenses in NYC area let me know. (via pm)
