  • 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 :)

User Preset buttons - Build 16

Remove the auto white balance from button 1... you have no idea how many times I've accidentally pressed it while fumbling for the focus assist.

Other than that the idea of user definable buttons is awesome, especially when it comes to putting these cameras in housings.

Seriously! That is driving me nuts! It would be wonderful if they camera didn't default to auto WB each time you power down and actually remembered what you had selected.

The most buried, most used function that would be extremely helpful to have readily available is varispeed. Being able to jump from 4k 24 to 2k 120 would be very helpful!! It takes too long to get into the 120fps mode, by then, the action we wanted to capture is long gone. Coming from using an HVX for a year, having the presets is something we really miss on the RED.

I can't wait until B16...
 
how about increase/decrease audio gain... lots of people would love to be able to ride the levels on some occasions

Ok, here is an oportunity for you guys to make a difference.

Build 16 finally lets you customize those A/B User buttons on the side of the camera and on the EVF... and man let me tell you, its sure nice having those buttons do what you want them to do.

So here is my question to you... what settings/functions would you like to see on the menu for those buttons to adjust?

I really think that we should be able to set them to whatever we want via current menu, so it will work for every customer based on their needs. However, if it is not possible (which I doubt it), I would love 100% magnification for focus assist as opposed as to the current magnification set in #2...:love:

We were able to disable the auto white balance button with current builds.
 
I've been thinking of a way to peer into the highlights and shadows during preview. it seems so useful to me, that it may be there and I'm missing it, but at the expense of being stupid...

Since the R3D has far more dynamic range than one can see on a preview monitor, have 2 additional preview presets to allow you to see the dynamic range in multiple parts as you can't see it all on the monitors at once.

Basically, what I would like is one of the EVF buttons (Getting it this week--can't wait) to toggle between 3 states

State 1: Normal view
State 2: Highlight curve - Curve that maximizes the highlight detail and drop all of the shadows into the black. This way you can clearly see detail in what would otherwise be perceived as clipping when viewed in a normal curve.
State 3: Shadow Curve - Curve to Maximize view into the shadows turning anything beyond a certain level into white. This allows you to see all of the information you have in shadows.

This way you can dig into the shadows and into the highlights as a preview to really see what you have available to you in post.

Maybe there would be some sort of blinking Highlight and shadow icon to let you know that this isn't the standard view, and maybe it would revert back to normal view when recording, but it would be good if you could playback in highlight or shadow mode to really see what was recorded.

I like the thought of being able to cycle through things. That said, I personally won't change button 2 from the zoomed in focus mode. However, I would like to put Varispeed or resolution change on that--thought those aren't hard to access from the back either. What I would ask is a way to go up one level in the menu instead of having to start from the top. AKA, sometimes I will be 3 deep in the menu and want to go up one level but all I can do is go to the very top menu:(

Mathew, have you tried pushing the jog dial "up" and "down" to up and down in the menu tree? Pushing the jog dial "down" does the same thing as pressing it "in", ie select the current menu/option.

How about being able to switch from one preset format to another as a quick toggle?

example: 4k 2:1 <------> 3K 2:1 @ 50 FPS.

I think this requires to have a different formated media...:mail1:

I love to toggle thru presets for frame rate and configure. Eg. push once I go to 3K 2:1 at 60FPS. Push again I go to say 4K 2:1 at 30FPS push again and I am back to 4K 16:9 at 24FPS. to switch quickly from standard 24FPS to vari speed and back again would be fantastic. Another thing that would be nice is to go to false color in one touch. just a few ideas.
 
Quick access to high frame rate with pre-settings in normal menu.

ex normal project 24p 4K
hit user button and you're in 60 fps 3K ! or 120 fps 2K etc...

Toggle through various pre determined frame rates. The current method is time consuming.

Speaking of frame rates, please let us some how change the rates by tens in stead of dialing 1 at a time, maybe by toggle up you jump 10 FPS 30, 40, 50 etc. and toggle down does reverse.

This is not true anymore Luis.

It changed back in build 14 I think.

Try spinning the jog-dial faster. The frame rate jumps in larger increments. Spinning it really fast can traverse the entire range in 3 or 4 spins.

Are you sure??? If I have the media (Red Drive) formated for 4K 24fps, I cannot change the settings on the fly if the magazine is not formatted to the new settings... Am I wrong, or my red (B15) is not working properly?:detective2:
