What is this? Have you seen this?

[James McLellan]

This is the second time I have seen this effect. Both times it has appeared against glossy orange/yellow materials. It looks like pink digital breakup. The pink shimmers strangely with the shot.

I don't understand what is happening here.

Perhaps someone can provide me with a quick fix. If not I can upload the original R3D file.

This was shot in 2k 2:1. ISO 320. Reconformed to prores.

Any ideas?

I think we'd have to see the original .r3d to be able to know more. Its an interesting anomaly.

James - if you can arrange with me graeme@red.com to send me the R3D and also tell me which of the RED tools you used to create the image, I'll be happy to try to track down the source of the problem.

If you have not already: perform a black shading, making sure no light hits the sensor during this process. Let me know if I can help further.

Impressive response time from the Red Team. Let us know when they fix you up, James.

 

[James McLellan]

Will do. Thanks.

Are you decoding into Rec.709? I've had that problem before - changed to RedSpace in RedCine-X and it went away.

Graeme, if you guys need help tracking this down, I can send you some files? Or this is a known thing and I'd just be wasting your time?

Hi guys,
Been experiencing this same issue with footage taken a few days ago. Camera R3D file including all QT proxies show no artifacting, but this problem arises for me when converting to QT1080 through both RC-X and RC.

Which software are you using and what version?

Rob,
I've had this problem with the 2 previous builds of RC-X and the older RC Beta. Will test outputting same clips with build 84 and see how I go.

I use to always get that or similar when processing (r3d > Prores) thru RedCine... thus I never used RedCine again. Strictly RA & RR... it has even jaded my use of RedCineX but I am trying to get over it because I love the X!!!

Thanks, please let us know! I seem to remember there was a bug like this in an earlier build of RC-X that should've been fixed.

So, if I'm understanding ok this pink stuff only appears on the recording material and not in the monitor, I'm right?

No, this artifacting has only been showing up for me - once I convert to ProRes
