Weapon Feature/Update Requests

[Eric Haase]

Feature request: ProRes files NOT recording the look around area when it is enabled.

Option to get 1:1 magnified feed via *some* video port during recording. I need more help than the full-frame focus tools provide!

+1 I would love to use 5" RED Touch as a second monitor and be able to have the focus puller punch in while recording. I can do this with a SmallHD monitor, but I just like the 5" touch having 1 cable instead of two or extra batteries with the SmallHD.

I would also love some collaboration with Apple and FCPX (Or a RCXP workflow) so that the ProRes Proxies that are shot in camera got sucked in, recognized as proxies, auto stitched for long duration and slo-mo clips were retimed to match the RECODE masters in duration. Since I shoot a lot of interviews with slo-mo b-roll the in camera proxies are a bit of a letdown.

It would require a lot of coding to actually implement this, but it might be possible particularly on DSMC2 bodies.

At the moment when you magnify into 1:1 it is essentially changing formats while magnified, which is also why you can't record while punched in.

So you're saying there's a chance!

1-The ability to zoom in and move around the magnification area instead of just punching into the center of the frame and be able to do this while recording.

2-ProRes UHD 4K on the Magnesium Weapon

3-the ability to assign a quick key to change frame rates

We asked about magnifying during recording, even if not 1:1 since the Red One. I hope someday it will be possible.

3-the ability to assign a quick key to change frame rates

Isn't that already possible with presets ?

Matt,

You can zoom in and move around the magnification area if you have a touch screen but alas not while recording.

 

[Eric Haase]

3-the ability to assign a quick key to change frame rates

Matt, you can accomplish this by creating a preset whose ONLY parameter is the desired sensor frame rate. Then, you can assign this preset to a key ("apply preset XYZ").

Have the ProRes Files not max out at 4.16GB (causes multiple files and on one project had the client frastrated when Linking them to the R3D Files) Also have an option for Hot Swappable when it comes to power (One of the favorite things I still love about my EPIC DRAGON)

 

[Eric Haase]

Please publish a utility for stitching spanned/segmented ProRes files back together (and assuming DNX HD will do the same). Please provide post solutions for the way the camera records these files.

 

[Christoffer Glans]

Is there any problems with relinking spanned ProRes to original R3Ds? If so then the whole process of proxy editing doesn't work.

 

[Bérenger Brillante]

Premiere does that with the R3D perfectly.

I would prefer the camera to cut the prores file at the same image than the R3D source even if it's not at Fat32maxed at 4Go. Just to match source and proxy perfectly. Same in and out for both the clips.

I think that's a great idea! I can see how this may be difficult to program in but it's definitely worth the effort!

Yeah, it isn't practical because of the lack of spanning and frame rate change on slo mo. At least with FCPX. If you have a RRX you are better off just making proxies with FCPX and forgetting about in camera ProRes for some workflows.

thinking of getting 6k weapon magnesium, will it be upgrateble to 8 k ? or just the most exp reds will be upgr to 8k ?

Only Carbon Fiber is eligible to upgrade to 8k. That doesn't mean the MG won't be able to upgrade to future improved 6k sensors.

thanks bob( you did not made my day

Would still love to see an Onion Skin overlay, grabbed from a frame during playback. Drawing atop transparency paper on the monitor for a lot of indie films, and it would make life so much easier to dial in an opaque screen grab. Even if it were the ability to load from a JPEG or R3D grab on the REDMAG in a specific folder for after-the-fact VFX.

This was on the Red Epic MX feature request too. I guess we won't see it in camera, as some monitors are doing it if I remember well.
