  • 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 :)

FilmConvert - Film Stock Emulation for Red Cameras

Dominik,
Many apologies that you seem to be having trouble testing this out. We've found at least one hugely embarassing bug where a particular camera type at a particular resolution tripped us up just a bit in a way that sounds an awful lot like this problem. So if you have the time to drop us some information on what camera you're using, the resolution, and settings of any nature that you think might help, we would be greatly appreciative.

In completely unrelated news, sadly I haven't seen Nathan around in quite awhile - not sure where he's zipped off to.... but then again, I suspect the Queen of England herself could walk through on occasion, and I might not notice, such is the slighly myopic life of us computer geeks.
 
This app is still under development right? I am about to purchase it but not sure if it will keep being supported.

And I really love what u guys did with this app, you just made a new scarlet owner very happy!

So After effects plug-in coming soon? What about premiere? Also 5D/7D support?

If so, then you just earned another customer!
 
Indeed! We're planning on supporting this app for some time to come, and in fact, the app is continuing to be updated as we speak. We've got all sorts of new stuff - in particular, we're upgrading our red-rocket support, so it's blisteringly quick. We've also revamped our renderer with increased speed and accuracy. Of course, we're also integrating 5D/7D support into the same app as well, and we're going to be adding a bunch of new film stocks, that we hope are going to work well.

Even better, the After Effects plugin is also, happily, almost completed - we're just putting the finishing touches on it, so expect to see it pushed out the door soon.
 
Thank you so much for the reply, Lance. If it's alright, can you give us an estimated delivery date on this next update? Is it weeks we are waiting for or months?

Also, by the time the new "RedColor3 and RedGamma3" SDK comes out, will you guys implement that into your software?

Is the AE plug-in AE only or it works with Premiere as well?

Thanks again!
 
Hello Sky, Thanks heaps for your interest.

Currently, we're planning a fine release of the current suite of software products in the next 4-6 weeks (this being software of course, 6-8 weeks is probably where we're actually going to hit). As far as new Red gamma curve happiness, we're working on slotting additional support into future releases, but aren't quite sure of the schedule on that just yet (so much software, so little time...)

The After Effects stuff can work through premiere of course (using the adobe-integrated suite of tools), but unfortunately the plugin interface is significantly different for premiere, so we won't have a direct-inside-premiere solution immediately. Rest assured though, this is on our list of products that we want to support, as we do think it would be cool to be able to get a film look directly inside premiere, so look fo it in follow-on releases.
 
So the stand alone product and the after effects plug-in will come as two separate products? Will there be price difference? Or funtionaliy differences?

And after effects plugin will read directly from the raw file inside of the system? Will it extract information from the clip directly from raw as it does right now(bypassing everything else) in the current version, so will it be reading info from the clip in the AE project that has the raw settings adjusted(interpreted) in the AE red settings?

Thank you so much!
 
We're quite close to the next update - we're currently stomping out the latest set of bugs, and aim to have a fine, new, and ultra-zippy redRocket version out in the next month or so, so please stay tuned.

In the meantime, our research monkeys are also plonking away on some fine plugin technology for afterEffects, and a whole host of pretty cool additional filmstocks (think: print film stocks that you ordinarily wouldn't see in a motion picture camera) and hope to have some news to share with you on all these things very soon.
 
thanks for the update lance,
But if i may : to me this clever idea is unusable without the Red Rocket support ...(just my testimony)

so you are saying that RR support might come But over a month from now ? ...i was actually looking forward to it since you said was in the making on Feb 25th...

thanks

Indeed, the red rocket support is in the next build, so it's not an if, but a when - we really are just in that ever so slightly annoying "software-time", where the process of ironing out bugs is taking longer than expected.

We hugely appreciate your patience here, understanding as we do that the software-only solution is a but ugly at the moment, and hope that when we throw stuff on out there, you're going to be quite keen on taking a further look.
 
Lance, i just wanted to give you some props. This software didn't interest me that much from your demo photos. But I downloaded the trial version and I flat out love what this does to my footage.
Really great job here. Unfortunately I can't afford $500 for the purchase, I wish it was $299. But i will certainly recommend this product to several of my editors in LA.
 
Matthew,
Thanks heaps for your support indeed. We're hoping that when you see all our awesome new stocks, and the plugins that are coming, that you'll run out and grab a copy anyway.

We also truely thank you for recommending us to your fine editors - we'd like to think that this product can sit in that strange nebulous space that now exists between production and post - the sort of tool that DPs can use to help direct the look, and that editors and colourists can use to get an even better look and feel quickly and effortlessly.
