Sharpen?

[davidjakubovic]

Hi guys,

I am working the post on a music video I shot on Red, and it's my first time posting with it, so I am trying to figure out this red cine thing.

I have watched the tutorials and I think I more or less understand the program, but my question is: should I apply the "sharpening" tool to it in Red Cine? I can't seem to see a visible difference but should it be applied nonetheless??

Thanks!
David

You can pretty much only see it when you're viewing it at full-res high, within the viewer.

Cool, thank you. But would you recommend sharpening in general or just leaving it at the default 50 that it's on?

asfaik the more you scale your 4k image down, the sharper it gets...so if you export to a 4k image squence, add a little more....

Danke.

Agreed, I think it would depend on your delivery format.

I would not use sharpen until the film is in its final format. You can add but hardly remove video sharpening.

good point...

Here's an idiotic question but I can't seem to figure it out. In RedCine, after I've uploaded all the r3d shots and I now have a sequence in there, is it possible to selectively export shots? Like only 1 at a time or just a certain range of shots?

there is a range button, move in the timeline to the desired shot, then hit the range button

I don't quite get it. No other control is so subtle. And by subtle I really mean, I see no effect at all. Period. Same for NR. It does nothing to my eyes. Every other control, you can do see dramatic effects when changing it. Why can't I overcrank sharpening or NR to the point where I woulds say " that looks awful or beautiful", like I can with so many of the other shot and color parameters.

Perhaps because you have the sharpest and noiseless images ever shot with this camera??? :biggrin:

You lucky man!

PS: Try full res high and change from 0 to 100 / I think you will see some small changes... also aplys for noise reduction. But yes, other CC tools allows us to go much further in correction.

do what tresch says, and zoom in to the area where you expect the effect should happen, i dont think you have a 4k monitor....if so: congrats
