  • 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 :)

Questions..?

It's threads like these that were a big consideration when I decided to buy a RED camera.

+1 on that. Many thanks to all the RED team.
We all are in the RED now!!!
 
Thank you Jarred for your time reading and answering this thread. This kind of interaction is one of the many reasons users love Red. I remember seeing "Crossing The Line" when it first hit the web, telling myself "I'll have a Red some day and become a part of the Red family." 5 years later after working very hard I was finally able to purchase my Scarlet. Not an easy investment for me, but one that I know I will never regret. You guys rock. Not just you and Jim, but everyone I've had the pleasure to interact with from Red, I can tell all your crew has a burning passion for what you guys do, and that is exciting to see as a customer. I'm now starting to save for an Epic (or whatever amazing piece of technology you will have in the next few years) I made a thousand dollars at a blackjack table while in Vegas, so that helps a little.

No questions here really. Just a note of appreciation.
 
+1 for power management. I'd love to see how much juice can be squeezed out of a redvolt before buying a vmount brick solution.
 
no new lenses this year.

Very sad news when it comes to the RPAs... Been waiting on pins and needles for any little tidbit on these guys since the initial announcement was made... A they still in development? Or has this project been killed? If they're still on the list is there any news you can share? :-)

Enjoy the rest of your week guys! See you next year..
 
yeah we suck... thats on the list.. but you guys keep asking for all the cool fun stuff first so it keeps getting pushed back. " Power Management" just isn't all that sexy.. but ironically is probably more important than anyone gives it credit for.

+1 It's like ease-of use interface features on post software. Nobody wants to say "The buttons have now been moved to more convenient locations!" on a pamphlet, but things like that probably benefit the post artist more than people realize.
 
power management
single frame capture
pre-roll
frame overlay

...that's my list. i'm sure it's all in development, along with a bunch of other goodies. thanks guys :)
 
It would be nice if Red took a few releases now and only focused on reliability and getting the core things rock solid and super stable. So we don't get bugs like the occasional half frames on the LCD when switching from playback mode. And putting in "boring" things like power management and making the SDI-output solid with PsF support etc. Basically just making sure everything that is there now is perfect and stable. Never needing to reboot the camera due to software bugs would be great.
 
Thanks for the reply Jarred.

So did the magic pixies visit over night and upgrade the projector??

:wink5:

I want 2 separate resolutions to be selectable:

1 - Viewing resolution
2 - Recorded resolsution.

That way I can, say, frame for 4K 16:9 (PLEASE bring back 4K 16:9 in some way or other - and other 16:9 formats - it's great to say that 2:1 should be the new format, and I do agree based on aesthetics, but for the people who pay the bills here it's simply not) but record full 5K, to have great reframing abilities in post.

Crop based on what was selected in viewing would be recorded into metadata, so the post guys know exactly what was intended and don't say I was incompetent if you can see a mic or stand in the corners of the frame.

Sound good to you guys too?
 
The mentions of stop-motion earlier got me curious - are there plans to implement RAW streaming out through USB3/Thunderbolt/whatever in the future? Being able to have that RAW stream coming into Dragon Frame or other stop-motion software would be an animator's dream. Recording through software onto a RAID would be handy too, of course.

Also, I noticed that RCX Pro on OSX is only using 2-3 processor cores when debayering/encoding (I'm guessing 2 threads for debayering, and 1-2 for encoding). Are there plans to rewrite it to take advantage of Grand Central Dispatch in the future, or is RedRocket the only option for more speed? I'm not too optimistic on this one since the program just underwent a major rewrite, but a man can hope :)

Why not set user defined framing guides and shoot a framing chart for the 4k area and shoot 5k. I've done it before and it works well for what you are trying to accomplish.
 
Late to the party, but thanks for this thread and all the info.
From my perspective:

+ 1 on the power management (hoping sleep mode is on there???)
+10 on the pre-record (I can't believe how much I'm missing this feature after getting used to in on the Red One, it's indispensable with wildlife shooting)

thanks for all the hard work.
 
Jarred, great thread. My question: Will the 50-150 red zoom come back in a slightly new design matching the 17-50 v2?, that would be really awesome!
