how to: use the 'F key' in red cine

[jchalfant]

Hi all,

I've a bit of a basic question... and a suggestion for the forum.

1st the question:

I see that in red cine you can toggle a grading using the 'F key' this is interesting, it seems to apply a 'preset grading' on the source r3d file. At first I thought this setting was for you to toggle between the user's graded project and the raw r3d file, but it's not? it's kind of a preset one light pass built into red cine? correct?

Then I figured I could use that preset, which actually looks pretty good to just render out my shot / project... there must be a setting for this somewhere under output that I am missing? as when i render my stuff it just defaults to whatever grading is, (or in my case isn't) there.


Forum suggestion:
So I started poking around the red cine section of reduser.net for a solution to my problem... but I see so many pages of random posts I figured I just post first and ask questions later.... thus adding to the noise.

Is there a way we can set up filters on posts? So that people who have 'how to' questions can quickly post and / or search for a 'how to' tag under the red cine section? That could on a later date be taken a step further and be assembled into a red cine users manual

I think the F key toggles between your custom grading and the RAW image with a LINEAR gamma.
It's useful to see what parts of your highlights are really blown out and what really was recorded.
I wouldn't use it as an output setting though. You should use the Redspace gamma setting.
