Impressions of RED footage. Did it live up to your expectations?

[Karl H]

ok thats intresting.... did anyone explain what was going on with the indoor 4K tiff files. In_out.tiff and erm.... the other one where they were sat on the armchair - that too had strangeness in the blue channel

I just reviewed TIFF files: Hero, Eyes, the Blonde FX Girl and only the Garage TIFF has some type of compression aberration going on in the blue channel (crazy noise). Maybe somebody with the tech know-how can explain it away...

Jim discussed this specifically. Please look it up in his past posts...:biggrin: gotto go work now.

For me... I agree w/ Emanuel... More footage is needed and I need hands on time. I am also very much in the air about the RED glass...

I think this survey after what, two working days? have elapsed since initial limited release of cameras... seems a bit early yet. I'd say this camera is different enough from what's gone before that it's going to take quite some time, at least months before everything from shooting to post is understood well enough for good creative decisions to be made throughout the process, and polished output generated. Looking at "here's the first image when we turned it on" isn't such a meaningful judgement in my opinion. Maybe it would for a full-auto consumer camera, but not for a pro tool that leaves all the post options for you to discover.

the only thing i have determined so far is that my quad g5 and dual g5 macs are both too underpowered to playback prores 422 at 24fps. at first i was worried that the red footage was doing a weird sony fake 24 frame rate thing but then i realized i was seeing quicktime frame rates as low as 12fps. i guess the intel optimizations are for real.

all the other stuff i've seen (lower than 2k) plays great and looks even better. red has met my preliminary expectations and will hopefully exceed them them when i get my hands on #121.
