  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Problems today

So i had some conversations with DPs, Directors,Editors and Producers about the RED ONE

They are really curious to see what this cam can really do...but some points arised during this conversation...

The Black Sun Issue...
a lot of them thought it is a bug and would add costs in Post.
No its no bug...its software related....so easy to avoid costs is:
-----RED Please remove the Black Spot.People suddenly are only shooting into the sun i guess, and the black spot is a no-go
(If it already happened let me know)


They joked about the Red as the Pink One....
another bug.
No, it has to do with the IntraRed...This will be "resolved" after some tests with IR Filters or NDs with an integrated IR Filter....so this will be easily fixed by a Filter....
------RED would be cool to add this type of Filter to your Store...because its a useful item.

Rolling Shutter/Skew
Hey thats something nobody can change, it is the way the cam works.
Gotta live with it or use for this type of shots something different.

The famous Allen Wrench:
Hard to find-----
wasnt it included in the Bold SET?


Workflow:
Here i have Good News.
I told them that today they are several easy workflows. (apple)..

1. For fast Web/TV/DVD/Musicvideos or really Lowbudget Stuff
use the Proxies/compress them to Pro Res 422:
Pro: its fast
con: Its a quick and dirty reference file...8 bit

2. If you have more money/time/space:
2.1. edit away with the proxies, use REd Trip to get 2k uncompressed or whatever you like
2.2. export Pro Res 2k files out of REdcine at Full quality. edit with them
Pro: 10 bit
Con :Time, Storagespace

3. If you need the HIGH END Stuff.
3.1 edit with the Proxies, use an EDL and go to a scratch suite.
3.2 edit proxies, use redtrip,export DPX, go to a Posthouse of your Choice

they were amazed to have 2k proxies...
and realized different goals need different budgets today, this will change hehe

-----Audio will pass RedAlert and Redcine in the next couple of months...
 
There wasn't one for the knob at the back of the camera. (has that changed?). It was the first thing I needed to fix and one of the most critical for setup.
 
Based on customer feedback, we started including it in the BOLT SET a few weeks ago.

The Black Sun Issue...
a lot of them thought it is a bug and would add costs in Post.

For the black sun issue, can I suggest some Oakley glasses for the camera.

On a serious note, there are three major pieces in the puzzle: acquisition, workflow and delivery. Your analysis of workflow is excellent. Various options for various budgets and needs.
 
If you need the .9mm hex key for the joystick knob, I will send you one. PM me with the address you want it sent to.

Thank you for the offer, Brent.
I will ask to Randy (or directly to you) the .9mm hex key when some other items are ready for an oversea shipping... (read evf's or 50-150 lens).
