  • 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 :)

Scarlet and Epic updates...

Not really off-topic - this is a deal breaker for me. If I have to buy a whole new system to use the Scarlet, I need to know before I buy one! Fair enough questions really.
 
Jim,

Can we update the delivery order to use as Epic and Scarlet serial numbers?

I think that would be more fair for the real early adopters of RED.

I think Serial Epic number should be based on delivery order of RED ONE.

Thanks Jim

Valid opinion, but start a new thread for it.

If I was to wait for Avid to support the P2 cards, I would lost two years of beautiful film making.

Think about it.

RED does not and need not make your editing and finishing system for you.

I am sure it will be pretty clear on Nov. 13 any way.

If I thought like you, I would still be shooting P2.

LOL

Not a chance now.

It has been announced and it is expected that Scarlet will record RAW using RedCode. RedCode is already supported on both PC and its inferior, unintuitive, clunky and buggy cousin Mac :bleh:
 
See, now this whole thread will teach me to make Red the last web site I check before I hit the hay. I would have known about this if I'd checked.

But then I wouldn't have been able to sleep! :biggrin:

Thank you Pawel - does Avid support it? Last I heard was they were 'working on it', which could either mean it'll be ready with the release of Scarlet or it won't.

Hope you weren't being sarcastic about Macs - because I agree with you!
 
Jim and his scams.... When will he ever learn? :-) (When will we ever learn?)

BTW, I always thought the best politician would be the person who didn't want to be in politics, the person who didn't want power, just to fix things up for the better.

Agreed - I think actually wanting to be a Politician should automatically disqualify you from the job!

You stole your idea from Gladiator!!:wink:


Will scarlet have interchangeable lenses?....just kidding, cant wait til the 13th! :ninja:
 
No one has asked the relevant question: Will these new announcements impact RED One owners in some way? That is, are the specification improvements about to be announced on November 13th going to enhance the RED One?

Look forward to the news. Sounds like it could be great. Though makes me wonder how the Red One won't become obsolete and how the Red One's "never become obsolete" mantra will roll out in that strategy. If Red's over-delivery on a low price point continues on the same path it has traveled to date, I'm very hopeful of being surprised once again.

Well ... it's relevant already based on the fact that Red One owners get first strike on Scarlets before the general public and Red One owners can surrender their camera body for full credit against an Epic.

IMO you can count on THREE things -

1) you'll be blown away by the specs of both Scarlet & Epic.

2) all things are subject to CHANGE and they will CHANGE - some people like to kick and scream about what Red/Jim "promised" - but from day one Jim promised CHANGE.

3) Jim cares about his customers. If you read this forum with your eyes open, you know that. You can TRUST Red. He is not going to render you obsolete. He's gonna give you CHOICES.

As for actual upgrades to the RED ONE (beyond the free one for new audio board) - I'm not sure without specs and prices how relevant that will be IMO. I am just so confident that Epic (and Scarlet) will have so much of what Red learned inside of them - it's just going to make more sense to flip to Epic ASAP. That being said - we love our Reds and they make amazing pictures - so I guess it really comes down to what you do with your camera(s).

I buckled my seat-belt when I reserved Red One #6 & #7 ... pulled the belt a little tighter when I first met Jim - and I'm still loving the ride and anxiously awaiting the next hairpin turn ....
 
All very true, Mark. . . but, I just copied this off the RED website:

RED RENDERS OBSOLESCENCE OBSOLETE

I just hope Jim really means what his marketing materials say.

And, yes, depending upon the pricing structure, I do plan on converting "Lewis" and "Clark" to Epic-status.
