  • 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 :)

DSMC NAB Build 6.3.6 - AVID DNXHR and DNXHD recording.

Extremely buggy with the 7" touch.
Diagonal tearing on the screen, random black horizontal lines, only on display, not in recording.
Only when shooting above 24fps - 60p, etc.
Setting monitor to 30hz and back to 60hz again cures the problem.
No problems with previous build

Still not fixed:
If IS switch on canon lens is ON, when camera is powered on, IS is NOT enabled.
Switching it off, then back on fixes it - extremely annoying.
400mm 2.8 II, 300mm 2.8 ii, 200-400 f4, etc - all same problem
 
On the Weapon, there's a thin red line about an inch long and at a slight angle on my 7" old style touch screen. A previous build caused the diagonal tearing but not on this one.

Didn't show up immediately but a few days after installing.

I had noticed some diagonal tearing on the previous build. Have been noticing some odd problems with the touch screen as well. (Seeing a strong vertical line down the crosshair center during playback, especially with focus assist on. Thankfully not in the footage. RED Ticket still open.) I'll try the refresh rate switch and see if it changes anything. Might do a complete reset.
 
Forgot to mention... after doing a "Restore default", the thin red line in my 7" touch disappeared.
 
What is usually the timeframe from beta to release built? I'm eagerly wanting to update my camera to enable MXF, but I just have a personal policy to never go beta :)

There is no answer to this question. If a beta build has a lot of bugs and kinks to work out, it takes time. Sometimes a couple of months.
 
Just wanted to confirm with both the beta firmware and beta red workflow updater for apple, my scarlet-w r3d footage works perfectly in FCPX.
 
I did a quick little project on Weapon last week and then upgraded to the new beta firmware. Had a moment of panic on my CF Weapon when upgrading the firmware as I ended up with a black/white split-screen with some additional garbage on the one side of the screen after the the camera updated. I disconnected and reconnected the monitor -- using my RED 5.0 touch -- and it was fine, so glad I didn't just force power off at that point.

Firmware seems to be alright, but I have not put it fully through its paces yet. Going to play the next few days and see what happpens. Will give the AVID DNX support a good look. Same with ProRes. I really have not played with the proxy recording since getting Weapon.

Thats a bug i have for ages with various builds (beta and final). It's fixed for me when i switch back from 60hz to 30hz (well, or temporary via the unplug/replug-procedure).

P.S.: Today i saw some blocky tearing with 6.3.6 when dialing in higher shutter-speeds.
 
GUys I have a question for the Red Code, insitalled in my Imac. This plug in helpe to make sure you can see the red files in fcpx, and I understand now is waiting the update...but...how this can be updated? If I go in the system preference ok...Isee the plug in there...but, for example if I want to remove it...where it is??...lol....and how this can be updated? I don't see any update section...lol...sorry the question...I know looks stupid but are days I am trying ti understand...lol...thanks!

The FCPX-plugin is part of the RED APPLE WORKFLOW Installer, which you'll find in the support/software-section on red.com. Just download and install.

Thanks Phil.
It's the editor that wants it. Not sure if closest will work for them...
I would just shoot R3D at the lowest possible compression if it were up to me :001_cool:

The old naming convention is total bandwith in Mb/s (megabits per second) (rounded to some nice number). An 'x' was added for 10 bit color (vs the normal 8 bit)

DNxHD LB: 8 bit, 188416 bytes/frame
DNxHD SQ: 8 bit, 606208 bytes/frame
DNxHD HQ: 8 bit, 917504 bytes/frame
DNxHD HQX: 10 bit, 917504 bytes/frame
DNxHD 444: 10 bit, 1835008 bytes/frame

For 23.98 frames per second:
DNxHD SQ is:
606208 bytes/frame * 23.98 frames/second * 8 bits/byte ~= 116294943 bits/s which is ~ 115 Mb/s.

So I would say DNxHD SQ @ 23.98 is equivalent to the old DNxHD 115
 
this is still beta right? any idea of when it might be finished? im scared to use right before a job, any hiccups?

also, anyone figure out how to get around the whole premiere not liking raven and scarlet files?
lat i heard was to transcode your r3ds in redcinex, but can you link those back to r3ds in divinci? can r3ds be read in divinci ok?
need to plan what to tell the DIT and post guys.
thanks!

As long as you don't change the filenames, you should be able to reconform them to the originals in any color grading software.
