  • 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 :)

Still Workflow Video

Glad you guys like it. I actually like the pace.. you can always press pause if you can't keep up and rewind etc. I just really hate slow moving videos.. i would rather be a bit too fast than too slow.

Working on more...

Thanks Jarred, pace is fine as the workflow is so intuitive and basic - nothing complicated.

Would love to see more discussion/info around best practice for sharpening, grading etc - what steps you see should be completed in RedcineX vs Photoshop in terms of grading, sharpening etc etc
Sharpening is a key questions.

But also in regards to stills and motion I'd love to see more tutorials on adjusting images in RedCineX and what provides for best first light development. Getting the most out of the raw image before the image is creatively graded in a third party application.
This process seems to be very subjective but I imagine Red has a wealth of experience to share.
 
When I right-click on a snapshot, all I see is "Show in Folder".
I don't get the Open in PS option.

What version of RCX-Pro? Which version of Photoshop? It's working fine for me here. Running RCX Pro b10, CS 5.5
 
I am very interested in the possibility of shooting with an epic for stills and motion.

There is some workflow issues i can see, compared with a canon/phase digital back work flow with capture one software.
Clients now days on every shoot expect to be able to see the shots come in, and do selects of the shots as they happen. I understand that they will be able to see the continuous footage come through a hdmi screen, but what if they see something they like- is there a way to mark that? can they stop the frame and have a look without stopping the shoot?

we are use to the workflow of a tethered to computer that then sends the pics to an iPad for the client to review, they can pause and select images from the iPad. TVCs i work on have a similar system- a video village where the filming can continue while the client can review independently- I'm not sure they do this, but this may be a solution. I assume they must be capturing the hdmi/hdsdi into another capture program.

Other issues is getting the retouchers I use to learn red software, as all of my post including processing the used shot gets done by the retoucher .

Can't wait to fire the Scarlet on my next fashion shoot. will be fun to compare to the D3x

I think that you will not be able to do thia with your Scarlet because if you shoot at 4k 24p you will have to set 48 as shutter speed: blurry images
i think that the only way to get stilla from motion is using the Epic

Why? Epic and scarlet have identical shutter speeds. Framerates won't give less motion blur.

Arturo, you can set shutter speed independently of frame rate.

Yes i know it but if you want to have useful footage you would have to set the shuter speed number like the frame rate or like the double if you don't want to create strobo effect.
Example: If you shoot at 30fps and 120 shutter speed you would be able to catch stills from motion without motion blur yes,but the footage would not be usefull(strobo effect)

So true. Scarlet cannot do for stills what Epic crucially can. Having done lots of research - even nearly bought a Scarlet and now having just shot with Epic on a trip in Cape Town, shooting to get the optimal still from motion, only Epic is going to give it to you. 96fps, 180deg+ shutter @5k is what works, no 'if's' and 'but's' about it. I shot Canon 1DS Mk2 right along side Epic and in my opinion the Epic 16Bit Tiff 76mb file was slightly better (PL glass?). I was blown away by it. Even when I crop the 'still' landscape frame down to become a portrait to fit a magazine I'm still left in awe! You can talk about resolution till the cow's come home (English expression!) but all i know is this camera delivers still frames that I'm spellbound by..... I now just need to find the best way to take the 96fps motion down to 24fps - any advice?

However, to complete the package for me........ RED are you listening! Two things on my wish list to make the camera just perfect - single frame and flash sync.....please, please, please!

+1I would like to lnow how to convert 96fps into 24 also

Hasn't Jim mentioned a while ago that a regular flash won't work with Red's cameras, because of the rolling shutter? That a 'long duration' flash must be used?
I'm guessing that means something like Paparazzi lights, maybe DMX boards to run them...
I don't think talent would enjoy a longer duration flash, though.
