  • 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 :)

Surprise...?

I have commented about 100 times (slight exaggeration) why 2K scaled makes no sense whatsoever... why this keeps coming up is totally beyond my wildest comprehension. I have to assume this is a joke...

I think it is time to take a break from this forum again.

Hey Jim I was making fun of DorkmanScott's comment on 2k scaled. I don't miss it. I was quoting him and laughing... sorry to have upset you!!!

well, apologies if I have annoyed anyone, in my glee at having any post of mine regarding this subject matter acknowledged in any way by anyone in the red team in the last year and a half or so of asking for this stuff and being ignored completely, I may have overdone it a little bit.

Jim-
I told you a million times... Don't exaggerate:biggrin:
 
JiMelvis has left the building

JiMelvis has left the building

You may as well all turn in 'cause I'm pretty sure JiMelvis has left the building! I repeat! JIMELVIS HAS LEFT... THE BUILDING!

Jeez, I hardly ever comment and I broke the boards. :mellow:

For the record, yes, I was joking. I actually understand and agree that 2k scaled is pointless in-camera, I was just referencing a spec that had been mentioned early on that had gone by the wayside. I never said that there weren't perfectly good reasons some of them had, because obviously there are.
 
i only read the first page, so I'm not really sure where the thread turned, but I just wanted to say that I'm stoked about the new features. Thanks again guys :)
 
I'm not asking for anything more. I am just SO happy for this new feature. Thanks Jim and team. As usual some people will complain etc. but just know that we Redusers really really really love ever thing you are doing. I have no expectations, and continue to be amazed.

Well done.

Well freggin done.

When the camera was announced, there was ONLY 4K out the RAW port, something I doubt you would have ever used. There was no recording to CF card, no REDCODE and no RED Drive.

And this is just the main point of this camera now!

You could have delivered just that, and leave the recording up to the end user. Does everyone know what a Venom or a Megacine costs?
In spite of the low price for the body this would have excluded the whole low-budget and independent community. The greatest achievement of Red is compressed RAW, and this is what's changing our world. Otherwise the Red would just have been another high-end low-volume camera.
And we can see how difficult it is to get such a complex encoding work without flaws from the struggle with codec errors – even with some of the best programmers of the world working in this field.

So, please stop demanding the impossible – it has already been done!

I for my part am VERY grateful to Red for this camera.

Best regards,

Uli

Yup life is a bitch. Bear in mind all the positive comments about experiences with the RED-ONE, and bear in mind most - if not all - comments about codec errors are based on BETA TEST firmware. This is exactly why we do beta testing. Likewise we do updates on mechanical items too. This is normal ...

didn't intend to speak mean... It's just that I figure "normalcy" is not exactly what must have been needed to bring the Red one where it actually is, it seems :biggrin: . A revolution is not exactly "normal". Keeping things constantly moving is a revolutionary state of mind in any industry. In fact it's not what industry and day-to-day business requires, I had thought... Red is looking into the future and bringing it to us, and is awful at that. Red seems in some trouble when it comes to day-to-day normalcy, that's what's normal here. When a customer comes up in rage because his camera "failed him", or misses a shot because he couldn't get the damn' pin into the corresponding battery socket, I supposed it has to do with disappointed love being confronted with everyday's life (from his, and from your standpoint). And however grateful, however puzzled at your achievements, he wishes his camera were a bit less of a revolution, and a bit more of a standard reliable machine. Ingratitude, oblivion...this is another kind of future, and yup, life's a bitch ! BTW, it's very difficult to assess the exact bias in this forum... Minorities (happy or unhappy) always tend to speak loud, don't they ?

I plunked my money down, of course!

People don't value when you are giving software-updates/upgrades for free... once you start charging $500... $1000... just like any other vendor... they will realize what a good/great thing they had/have going for them.

At what point should we be a bit irritated?

I'm so sorry for you. This must be a terrible feeling. For different reasons, I know the feeling. Take it as a compliment! There's a lot of empty forum out there... You generate passion, and that's a bitch! :)

Deep down, you know we love you. A lot. You are changing a lot of peoples lives. You give us great bats, and then amazing gloves, then a super pitch ball... No wonder we want a baseball field now!!! ;)

I open a Red France office anytime. Just waiting for the call!
 
At first, I get concerned when Jim leaves the building. But then, I think about it- how long would Steve Jobs last if he was as accessible as Jim is online?

In this case, I took the whole "feature request" that one guy put out for 2K scaled as a joke. But anything in email or online can easily be misinterpreted, and when your head is down and you're working really hard to get a product to market I know it's tough to see humor.

I think it's safe to say we all absolutely love what Red's doing, and that nobody else is doing anything like Red. My only concern about the camera is the audio side of things, hoping and hoping that the audio side gets some more attention now that the video side blows just about everything out of the water.
 
Jim and team, thank you for all the hard work. It truly, absolutely is appreciated. Can't imagine buying a camera from any other company and 6 months after delivery they give you a better, higher-rez upgrade at no charge.

Poor 4K Ninjas...

They'll need a new domain name! ;)
But I don't think they're too sad about it, are they? :)
