Red Rocket 3k

[Jeremy Kromberg]

How many of you would add this to your Scarlet purchase? How much would you pay?

 

[Jeffrey Loewe]

I won't be. I can't afford a $5,000 computer chip. I'll just dip my resolution, and start working out again while I wait for my footage to be ready.

 

[Ruben and Sheri O.]

I have worked with 4k footage on an imac and had no prob just not worth the money for us if we are already spending close to 8k on a camera package to spend another couple of grand it's not in our budget. I will transcode as I have always done with no prob ans save ourselves the money that can go to rigs or production cost such as wardrobe or lights or whatever =)

 

[Josef Gatti]

Just not in the budget - I'd love one and plan on getting one eventually - but for the first 6 months to year of owning a Scarlet I'd say I'll probably only be able to work on one lens and minimal SSD's.

For a Scarlet specific 3k Red Rocket I guess I'd pay around $2500? Any more than that is pushing my pocket, but I doubt Red could manufacture and profit much off this.

Not in the budget =(

Me either, but this puts me at ease...if this works with 5K footage, with no redrocket, im sure it will run ok with 3k footage!

I played with some epic R3D files found around the web today. Did this on a macbook pro in CS5.5. It was doable. Will be building a sweet PC tower for around $2k if I get a scarlet. Shouldn't need a rocket.

FWIW a graphics card from this list:

http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/performance.html

Its the list of supported cards for Adobes awesome Mercury Playback Engine.

makes a HUGE difference. Even my GTX 460 makes a great improvement. I would go for a gtx 580 if I could. I would even say a step down on the processor to get a better card is worth it.

I am on CS5 and it is awesome, I will get CS5.5 when I grow up some day ;-P

I have a Quadro 4600 card on my mac pro and with Cs5.5's ability to use lower resolutions i can edit 4k footage no problem.

No. For my needs that money can be better spent elsewhere - for now.
