  • 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 :)

For low budget 4k finish, I'd probably be looking at After Effects. For finishing, you really need controls that allow you to mask and matte areas of the image for different treatment - ie secondaries or power windows or the like.

Thanks!

Ok, After Effects I'm pretty familiar with. Not so much for pro finishing and power windows, but a little bit. I feel better just knowing I can do it with tools I already have.

This is awesome!

(Plus, AE integrates very well with the new Premiere Pro CS3. So this all makes me very happy!)
 
There's probably a stop or so there waiting to be found. That image looks awfully bright for a linear light image though..... I'd back off the exposure (use the histogram or zebras to see where the clipping is) to maybe -1.0EV or 1.5EV, then either use the curve or the brightness control to brighten up the image without introducing hard clipping.

Talent should NEVER be allowed to wear white. Whenever a white shirt look is called for, the wardrobe people always lightly die it with a slight violet color. Looks just a bit gray to the eye, but reads perfect on camera.

Why underexpose the face just to compensate for a poor wardrobe choice.

I don't agree. Any modern DSLR could read detail in that shirt. My guess is that that's a case of poor raw processing.
 
Concrete - look at the settings - exposure is set > 0 and hence is deliberately over-exposing the data. That's why it needs to be backed off, and brightness compensated by the brightness slider.

Playin' with the handtest:

I must admit that I was expecting more footage by today, to be completely honest... and I don't mean you, Brook and Tonaci.

Yes, me too.
with 25 cameras out there, just #19 coming back to us.

...well, I am sure the other 24 are in quite capable hands and I can understand,
everyone is no doubt quite busy.
Thanks Tonachi, Blair et all

True, but your still burning dynamic range all due to a poor wardrobe choice. Not the best use of even a 12 bit acquisition system. Give the guy a gray t-shirt and reshoot the footage. It will allow for better exposure choices.
 
I know this may sound patronizing, but the thing is that RED Alert! shouldn't be used to color correct the image but just to put the right white balance and to export the frame with the widest possible range to correct it afterwards.

Here's my advice:

Please, don't take it the wrong way. I really appreciate what you guys are doing.

... if macs are all the go, and wih redcode raw suppot in FCP - what about "color" for a low budget finish?

in terms of workflow though - will post people (like me) be able to get our hands on redcine/ redalert as productions start gearing up using red cameras?
