Ted says:

Cine-X on steroids.

Seems like Aperture for R3D workflow. Non-destructive.

If a RED ROCKET card is fitted, STORM will use it to speed up processing of R3D material.

Will be $375, and seems like saving a couple of nights of sleep

 

[Kwan Khan]

$375 Hummm...
Best Bargain

 

[Gunleik Groven]

Storm is probably pretty awsome.

Fun. Was @ IBC 2008, and most things I dreamt of back then hits the streets this year.

Revolutions move rapid in retrospect... -

 

[Curran Giddens]

Not bad, not bad...

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Nice price adjustment. And a couple months free trial. Looks like it has evolved quite a bit since NAB. Can't wait to take it for a test drive!

 

[Zach Gray]

All I can say is that the folks at the foundry really get it. I use Nuke regularly, and while it isn't the easiest tool the learn, it's the smartest to work with. There's a reason that Disney, ILM, Sony, etc have all picked it up after the death of Shake by apple.

It's great to sit down to a tool that is well thought out and purpose built, especially in comparison to some dumbed down interfaces we have to use. The other thing that is great about the foundry is that they provide some much needed innovation to an industry that seems to be more and more consolidated every day. (Autodesk, Adobe)

If the foundry makes it, I'll probably like it.

 

[Matt Gottshalk]

Awesome, great price point as well.

 

[Gino Papineau]

A good news

 

[J. Eric Camp]

I'll buy that. No question.

 

[Chris Kenny]

Looks insanely useful. Only catch I see is that it only lists support for Euphonix MC Color, not Tangent Wave.

 

[Anson Fogel]

It seems trivial, but are there controls for sharpening?

 

[Mark L. Pederson]

It seems trivial, but are there controls for sharpening?

Yes.

 

[Kaku Ito]

good good.

 

[Johnny Friday]

Looks good, hope they have:
Tangent wave support
R3D trimming
save look options

 

[Kaku Ito]

The idea is STORM is going to be fully commercial software to provide professional jobs. REDCINE-X would remain for testing the new features of RED's new features, then STORM would be aiming to provide stable yet most advanced RAW workflow.

 

[Kaku Ito]

Looks good, hope they have:
Tangent wave support
R3D trimming
save look options

Save look option in what extent?

 

[Jim Geduldick]

Dont think just because the support is not currently listed it will not come. The Foundry team is great to work with and having worked with them very early on with Storm they are aware of alot of what the end user would like.
If you are at IBC come by the booth and say Hi Ted will be there I will be as well and some other Storm dev people.
Storm announcements for IBC are just a glimpse of yet another tool in the arsenal The Foundry are giving us along side Nuke and all the HPC technology coming out.

 

[Eric Cameron]

At that price, if it works like it looks like it will, I can't imagine not buying it...

 

[RivaiC]

Is there any chance that foundry will support secondary CC ?
