No PLAYBACK when PRO RES only enabled?

[Andreas Mendritzki]

So very much enjoying digging into the depths of our new baby CF-W.

One thing I wasn't aware of is that it would seem that you are unable to playback clips in camera when recording Pro Res only. I would hope that it is (and suspect that it is) something that will be able to be added in future firmware updates.

But its definitely a big hinderance for prods that want to shoot Pro Res only as it stands right now.

I confirm that it's impossible to playback the prores files, only r3d files. Big problem if you only shoot Prores...

 

[Dan Kanes]

Temporary solution until they add this, just shoot r3d at the crazy highest compression ratio for playback proxies.

Also, think on this - even if a client wants only prores deliverables, wouldn't you want R3D for your reel?

Finally - if they don't want the R3Ds to "fill up their hard drives" just don't transfer the r3Ds when downloading.

If it's a huge Union TV show or movie , they're supposed to have a separate Union playback person too.

Dont get me wrong, I'd love to see this feature added, and I bet it will - glad there are options though.

Ha ha. R3D's as proxies. NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Hahaha

Yeah, exactly!! You record RAW at 22:1 just for your playback. . . hilarious (but not). . .

 

[Dan Kanes]

I mean, whatever gets the job done for now , right ?

My thoughts exactly!

Being worked on via a firmware update that's coming soon. Not available today, but likely pretty shortly.

 

[Jon Carr]

Welcome back to the early days of the epic. Give it time, it will happen very soon. Hopefully before or when the Scarlet-W ships.

 

[Kenny Mosher]

I actually remember this being a good thing when working with a director who wanted to play back every clip I am sure it won't be too long now.

Thank you jesus !

I thought I read in another thread that compression ratio affects the apple proress file quality also, or am I wrong? If I record 5:1 vs 12:1, it would have no effect on the apple pro ress file?
