  • 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 :)

FTP: (7) Free EPIC 300fps R3D files - *Limited Time

Might not be the place to ask. When I try to open in Premiere Pro CS4 is says the .r3d file is wrong format or damaged. Any thoughts?
 
I did have the plugin for CS4 installed. Any other ideas? If not I will troubleshoot until I figure it out. Thanks.

You're very welcome Philipp. What did you think of the raw files on REDCINE-X?

well first of all I'm happy to have slowmotion clips in 2k and in Red RAW. And it's not just some test footage, I find the clips very well chosen; the balloon clip is spectacular, and the toy car carambolage clip is funny and a good demonstration at the same time.

The coin clip seems to expose some motion/rolling shutter effect. When you look at a single frame you can clearly see that the coin is distorted as if it was treated with heat or a hammer. But you don't see it in motion. This is something I have to keep in mind though.

The clips with black (veil) background are a bit noisy (in the background), this shows that one has to be careful with highspeed settings. But I'm not sure, maybe a regular 24 fps clip with the same setup/lens would maybe show the same amount of background noise as well? In fact the noise can be seen on all clips, also in the foreground, but you notice it best in the black veil background. I have some Phantom footage (in Prores and xdcam codecs) with black background that do not show noise, but I have no information about them being processed before internet distribution or not.

But noise and preventing noise is a rather academic question. I just keep it in mind as long as I wait for my Scarlet or Epic. I have seen Epic 300 fps clips on Vimeo without any noise (but without black background). Until I can test it out for myself, the internet is my camera.:smile5: That's why your footage you generously upload is very valuable for me, so I can test my workflow without camera. Thanks again.

I've been there. H264 files on Vimeo and YouTube tell a very limited story. We set out to give you that which you might create yourself if you had just received an EPIC-M and the 300fps firmware update.

Sincerely,

We were actually outdoors in 5pm sunlight for the balloon popping and bubble blowing segments in front of the black velvet cloth background. We definitely needed even more light at 300fps.

I have had no problems dropping these r3d's into premiere 5.5. I'm fairly certain there is no epic support in the red plugins for previous versions of premiere but best ask the adobe guys:-) make sure you have downloaded the latest plugin for cs 5.5 (epic support came a lil after release of 5.5 for those that did not know)

What do you mean about "latest plugin for cs5.5"? There is plugin only for cs4.
 
Thank you, Michael, for the files. I am looking forward to purchasing Scarlet/Epic S sometime in 2012. I want to understand the workflow in the meantime. I am a novice to video as well as to RED. Love what is possible. Thanks again.
 
No problem John. You are approaching it the right way. Learn the tools, experiment with the R3Ds and when the time comes you'll be way ahead. There are some free 5K HDRx files in that same FTP directory too btw.

If any of you have created your own grade or edit from the 2K 300fps R3D files, please post here. We would love to see what others have done with the R3D source files. As mentioned, all we ask is for a simple credit at the end of your sequence.
