  • 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 :)

Time-lapse on Epic-x

I asked Jim at the RED Day I went to a year ago about the timelapse functions and he said that basically it would have all the functionality as a DSLR and more. So long exposures are in that bag along with everything else to make it an amazing timelapse camera.
 
I heard that. But since jim's signature is "Everything in life changes... including our camera specs and delivery dates..." I am wondering what are the latest news.
 
No news yet. Maybe some news in a month or two.
 
Some of the functionality is now enabled, but I can't say to what extent. I'm hoping to have my M by the end of the week or early next week and look forward to doing some TL tests as those features evolve. I can't wait for the electronic Nikon and Canon lens mounts along with SDK support for camera control. Got some really cool stuff in mind. ;)
 
Basic TL is working, with framerates down to 1fps. All the other stuff remains to be seen. Keep in mind that there has never, ever been a digital cinema camera that could do proper, long-exposure timelapse, at least not that I am aware of. It's a tricky thing to do.
 
What about shooting say 200 frames in a TL burst, long exposure then an interval and an tother run in TL burst. Works very well on DSLRs with a good controler.
 
Thank you Jeff! looking forward to your tests. Yeap, the electronic mounts will add a completely new spectrum shooting on Red. We are living good times!!

That is exactly why I am very interested to see if the Red Co. will keep what Jim said about Epic having all the functionality as a DSLR.
I have plans to go to Patagonia and last week I got an offer of a trip to Antarctica by the end of the year. So, I hope to have my Epic-X fully working for time lapse cinematography.

Since 300 fps is enabled on Epic (according with Jannard in one of his latest posts) There is any news about full TL features?

Timelapse features will grow with the builds. Some of the foundation features are in the next build.
 
I'm testing time lapse now... looks great. It is a base package and, as Deanan said, will grow over time (no pun intended).
