Tips to getting the best detail out of the Scarlet?

[Devin Johnson]

I recently received Scarlet and RPZ 17-50 and after doing some testing I feel like I'm not getting the maximum quality out of my setup. I basing the quality I can acheive from clips like these: https://vimeo.com/34273982 (shot with same camera and lens, skin texture looks very detail imo), https://vimeo.com/11952040 (shot with the same lens but on a Red One I believe). The results I'm getting are decent but it seems to be not as detail as the above listed links https://vimeo.com/68922523 https://vimeo.com/68923564

It looks like they were shot with daylight edge-lighting, but also tungsten overheads. The color grade itself seems to be much warmer than what you've applied.

Maybe try importing some of your clips into REDcine-X, switching it from redgamma3 color space to REDLogFilm, and grading things from there. Redgamma3 brings down reds a bit vs redgamma2, which pops reds. Redlogfilm gives you the flattest image to work with, so try that and mess around with saturation, contrast, shadows, and changing your daylight-balanced image to tungsten for a warmer look.
