new red cine x user output framing question!

[Ershov Kirill]

HI GUYS! I AM THE NEW USER OF RED DIGITAL CINEMA))) my scarlet just arrived) made some test shots ( i had never worked with red)

have a question!

when i go to export settings there is an options menu and there i can choose a lot of presets f.e. Mitchell ( smooth ) etc. it is called output framing

some of them are smooth smoother or sharpest - i think anybody knows what i am speaking about)

Could anybody tell what it is and which preset gives in your opinion best outputs)

thnx

Those are different software debayer algorithms. Some produce a smoother, others sharper result. If you don't have a Red Rocket, one of these will do the debayering of your raw footage.
I generally use Lanczos but it depends on content.

This is incorrect. These are not debayer algorithms, they are downscaling algorithms, and they are working whether you have a Rocket. In the system or not. My advise is to do a bit of testing to see which produces results you like best. I generally prefer the smoother algorithms; 5k footage is plenty sharp, but that's really a call for your own aesthetic.

Sorry, of course you're right.
