Still store feature I'd love on new cameras

[Jim Hoffman]

I would love it if we could pull a still frame of a clip and store it on the epic. Then recall it from one of the buttons as a quick reference for the live view. It would also be nice if we could superimpose the image with control over opacity. I want the choice to pull the image from a still I take with the camera, from a clip I shot on the camera from any point in the clip, or an image I can load from an outside source. Images from an outside source shouldn't be limited to red only files. If I wanted to load a guide for a product, graphics, text, special effects template etc. I could do so. Maybe an import feature into Redcine to convert to a usable camera format?

Waddyatink?

Oh... and I want world peace, good will towards men, health, love, that crap to go away in the gulf AND job security.

Now that we're down the road a bit I thought I'd put this out there again.

I think the ability to grab a still while shooting motion is at least in the works. I know I saw Ted talking about that functionality in the Red 101 stuff on the red.com pages. Everything else I'm assuming is not in the works, because I have not heard it anywhere but this thread.

Thank you for bringing this up again Jim... I could really use this feature as well, it would eliminate some steps we now take on set to do the same but slower.

Hope all is well Jim and Happy Thanksgiving!
