Feature request: 1 frame digital slate

[Nigel Stanford]

A request for a feature that would really help in post - a digital slate.

This would be an option in camera, that would render data onto the bottom of the first frame.

If it was generated after the take has been cut, then you could show the out timecode. If not, you could generate it on record and have the start timecode at least.

This would be awesome for editors etc. If there's not enough CPU cycles left in the Red One, then it would be a great Epic feature.

It could also show ISO or other data...

Thoughts?

Pure Genius.

 

[Brandon Fraley]

sounds like something that should have been done a long time ago. Is there any reason not to do something like this?

I agree with Markp. Genius

 

[Mark Crabtree]

This is why Reduser.net exists.

 

[Jeff Brue]

requested it over 2 years ago. Still no implementation, this could be easily included into redline.... it doesn't even have to be done on the red one itself.

that's true too! This should totally be implemented

 

[Darren Orange]

Serious....great idea!!! Do it!! Rock on RED!!!

 

[Keith Nealy]

Great idea.

 

[Victoria C]

Wow, this would be so helpful. Fantastic idea.

I believe this can be implented in RedAlert / RedLine / RedCine instead on Red One Camera. And its possible with the Red Apps when creating offline dailies and why not Monkey Extract have an option for Offline dailies and implement this using RedLine.

You could incorporate it into Monkey Extract, but that would only help if you're transcoding the footage prior to edit. Ideally it would be in the R3D becaues hopefully we won't have to transcode some day soon. :w00t:

Other digital recording systems like the S.Two implemented this a long time ago and it's extremely useful. It was requested on the forums a handful of times very early on in the Red development and I'm surprised it hasn't been incorporated in one way or another. Please give us this feature along with my one other most requested, completely unrelated feature, a full frame waveform.

 

[J. Eric Camp]

It would be lovely.

I doubt it could be put into our current cameras via firmware. It sounds like code that would go into RED Alert / Rushes.

 

[Nigel Stanford]

the problem with the s.two slate is that it is completely black and you can't visually see the first frame of the image... the mockup however, would be sweet.
Our coder is also telling me that it wouldn't be trivial to add this to monkey extract, it would need to be a redline feature... Deenan?

 

[Matthew Greene]

Great idea, I hope the RED team is listening. (and that the hardware is technically capable of implementing the idea).

 

[Deanan]

Great idea, I hope the RED team is listening. (and that the hardware is technically capable of implementing the idea).

Why should we listen? It's already in the next version

 

[Stephen Pruitt]

How cool is that. . . our wish is their command.

Here's to my next, surely-soon-to-fulfilled wish. . . IMAGE FLIP! (I want the ability flip the image on the monitor, the ability to flip it in the camera, or both, if desired.)

Is that in the next build, too?

[Don Woods]

That rocks....

 

[Mark Crabtree]

Way to go Red Team!

hopefully along with TC regen/slave to/for multi cam
