  • 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 :)

Stills resolution of the Scarlet 3K

Ok, the RED Scarlet is a native 3K sensor : very interesting, so there's no line skipping or crappy resizing. ^^
 
Stills format.

Stills format.

Does anyone know what the file format is used for the stills?

Is it a R3D file? or something else? and can (or will) Photoshop CS5 open this file type or do we need to do all the colour correction stuff outside of Photoshop, then export?

I wonder if Ted or someone at RED could tell us what the resolution would be for stills on the RED Scarlet 3K and other cameras?

Not much. If you want to shoot stills, go for a bigger camera, whatever happened to the full 35mm frame scarlet? In matter of fact, I just remembered, have a look at my android thread, it has a consumer android camera chip released last year that will shoot a similar 5mp resolution video and 32mp stills. All I wanted was 4K stills so I could hold my head up high :( . I have given so much of my life over to getting these cheap cinema cameras out, now I am going to have to resort to owning a 3K one.

Export 16 bit TIFFs from Redcine-X. R3d's open in Premiere but I don't know about Photoshop. RC-x has a very sophisticated pallete of grading tools to work with though.

I feel like I read that Adobe's working on R3d support in Photoshop, but maybe I'm just imagining things.

I hope so.... Not just Photoshop but Lightroom and Bridge! Adobe have some awesome tools at the moment. Just love CS5 and the emerging integration between the tools.

Agreed! And it'd be sweet if they did something like Lightroom Cinema or something as a color grading option to complement Premiere...

I know you can import and work on video, so adding R3D to Photoshop would be great. Not sure if RED is going to store stills as R3D and how the folder structure will be created to identify stills or video.

You have already great 3rd party plugins that work like a charm. :smiley:

Jim stated you select stills or motion mode. That suggests it will be a separate file structure - which makes perfect sense really.
 
since Lightroom added support for video file organization and tagging in Lr3, it's only a matter of time for it to support raw video developing and organizing.

I absolutely love Lightroom and can't wait to see what RED and Adobe can put together.
 
I don't think stills will be a different file structure, R3D is Red's raw file format. May have lower compression options though. I think it is more about different menu modes from motion.
Adobe is being pretty quick about incorporating new Red SDK's into its software.
There is an option in the recent versions of RCx to export a single frame r3d from a motion sequence too.

That sounds great. To be able to shoot full frame and each frame has the potentional to be a high quality photo in its own right definitely seperates RED from any other DLSR cameras that shoot video.

And you can also export each still as a TIF file too. :w00t:

uh... yeah, you can. is that a surprise?

Not so much a surprise, I don't think, as a helpful necessity in dealing with photo-centric programs like Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture, etc. that don't offer R3D support.

Which begs the question...how long until they do?

Tick tock...
