I'll be writing about one of the new features in this build that I've been "teased" about recently. It's an important one and with this Beta being released ideally it will be deployed to the SDK for 3rd party applications relatively soon.

I presume you mean the enhanced demosaic? Sharper? Cleaner? Better than it was before? Better... Stonger... Faster? D-d-d-d-d-d-d...

I'd be interested to see/hear some playback comparisons between 53 v 54 (re: Optimized CUDA/OpenCL); as in, is it a substantial difference or like ~2%/not noticeable? I can't migrate to the beta just yet, but if someone does and the boost is noticeable, please chime in!

Enhanced demosaic sounds interesting.
Any word if Apple Metal support is coming to RCX?

Little surprised that things have been a bit silent regarding RCX/Metal despite it's
development in the SDK and plugins.

Metal support has been in the SDK for over a year. SDK release notes.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I meant Metal support in RCX.

Also curious about this. Phil, I know that RED did the work for Metal in the SDK - although I’m pretty sure OpenCL is still being used over Metal in RCX. Jarred mentioned it would be coming soon a long while back, but I’m not sure if RED is waiting for something on Apple’s API front.

Is Redcine-X now optimized for M1 Macs ?

Crashing a lot on mine with Komodo footage.

Edit: I am on latest release, not beta.

Until we see it in a set of release notes (none of the previous releases were optimized), then we’re still waiting. Doesn’t look like this beta release offers M1 optimization.

Enhanced Demosaic removing the Magenta fringes everywhere. Good. Also though shifting large tonal regions. Good? Bad? Not sure. Would be great if we could choose the debayer version on the fly to compare.

Hi, This is what I'm seeing when I render using GPU.






This is without GPU

Thanks for the update info!

 

[Jacobo Martinez]

I tried Beta 2 and I am not able to preview any red files or render when using GPU. Only works using CPU.
