PLAYBACK

[Eric J Kosinski]

Isn't this post supposed to be about PLAYBACK ?

 

[Koray Birand]

Is there a place where we can track all alpha firmware updates. I know this post is not the right place to ask but could not find a related post to ask.
Thanks.

Jarred, Playback rocks hard! And at the same time is done so elegantly.

Thank you, RED, for all of the hard work and thoughtful execution.

I am very happy now... Having playback, Cam wave working....

And hopefully we will have audio on playback soon and then I cannot see anything else I need.

Great work...

But.......... Can you please make the shutter mode default back to RELATIVE instead of ABSOLUTE. It is a real pain in the bum that that camera defaults to ABSOLUTE now.

But my but is very minor!

Good job and I am very happy with my purchase and with my EPIC M.

This may be silly... Can you playback using the DSMC Side handle or do you need the touch screen for this?

 

[Koray Birand]

Has anyone tried the Black Shading Calibration on 2.0.2. I keep getting the failed response.
I am on 25 fps and trying to do it with current fps option.. Any ideas ??

 

[danu prasd]

love this feature....scrub, in-out, frame by frame...best way to check highspeed...but, to my concern, this is something that we're not too often use, right ? afraid if playback effects the RAW files...

 

[Brandon J.F.]

You guys do realize that the Epic is just getting started right? I mean, we have not seen HALF of what's in store for that camera.

Exactly.

Anyone having any problems with this Alpha... Just trying to gauge how late an alpha this is?... and if it is likely to move to a Beta or RC in the very near future.

thanks

I black shaded my at 96fps, shutter 1/192, 5k. Make sure you have your shutter set to "Relative" and NOT "Absolute". Should work

You can control everything on the camera using the side handle or REDmote, including playback.

Great! Thank you Trent!

THANK YOU RED FOR PLAYBACK!!! Had it on both cameras on a movie I'm shooting right now and it just puts smiles on everyone's faces. Love it.

 

[Luke Schenk]

Does anyone know of a way to enable playback with one of the modifier buttons on the side handle or redmote? I didn't see anything labeled playback in the settings for those. It would be nice to not have to use the touchscreen, or go through the menu every time you wanted to enable / disable playback.

Thanks John, managed to do black shading finally, what is the difference between absolute and relative ?

I always love reading these smart-ass comments. The Alexa doesn't come with media, SXS cards, viewfinders, etc.. either when they tell you the first price.

Actually (depending on when you ordered), the quoted package included 5 SxS cards and the EVF, mounting bracket, handle etc.

But it was still a WHOLE LOT more than an Epic-X kit

I shot all day on it yesterday on a chromakey job. 24 and 40 fps. No problems whatsoever.

Didn't know where to post this, but very cool. It seems 4K is coming to the home:

Also a good article in Sound and Vision Magazine this month about 4k and current HDMI cables.

Best news since Epic-X letter
Media list and curves are also great things. And worked whole day
Great, Red Team!!

I think of "Relative" like a film camera shutter. If I change frame rate, my exposure is going to change. "Absolute" on the other hand, when you change frame rates, the camera will adjust your shutter so that your exposure stays constant.
