[Justin O'Neill]

Brilliant!

Still going to wait and see how it treats other people before I upgrade though. No rollback is scary.

Are there changes to v3.2.4 ?

[wedowee]

The RedCine and RedAlert versions are currently marked as Beta. Will those versions be changed to release versions, or should we expected upgraded versions? Thanks.

[Joel Kaye]

Seems like edge focus assist went from black and white to color somewhere between early 16 and later 16 too. Or am I imagining that?

[sander kamp]

Oh, release version!!! I was wondering what was new...

[Patric Ralston]

Hi Brent,
Where can I download BUILD 15 V2.2.8? Can you include it in the Build 16 release folder?

Thanks
Patric

Do you ship the new cameras (~2400<) with Build 16 (3.2.5)? Does this mean that new REDs are incompatible with Build 15 (and lower)?

[bakopeti]

And of course thanks for the new build! Great work RED team!

[David Wyatt]

Fantastic timing - we're just about to start a feature!! Now there are no more excuses for staying Build 15 (Build 16 has recently been the most stable Red build I've ever seen). Congratulations on another milestone!

We are starting a feature as well and we have a camera test tomorrow so this is perfect. the cam's been out on rentals so i didnt have a chance to go up to 16 so its great timing.
thanks!!!!

[Andrae Palmer]

Just upgraded RED #1888.. glad you guys triumphed over the codec errors.. the last build was unbreakable during my experiments.

Yes, its included with BUild 16 in the download link.

We've just finished a feature, which was shot using Build 16 beta.

edge focus assist has always been red, as far as I know

Wai Koon, you can use latest L &T for B16 provided you also download and install the latest Red QuickTime Codec as stated - Lim

[Tico Llaurador]

Phaz, what Joel means is that the edge focus assist was indeed colored red, albeit over a monochrome display. However, while on RAW view, the display does NOT turn monochrome while using the edge color focus assist feature.

Bumping this... will Build 16 be OEM firmware for cameras shipped after release?

Thanks, missed that post.

[Tim Sutherland]

Does Redcine/Redalert support changing ASA in build 16 yet? Without that, I don't think I would upgrade to build 16 yet.

[SF Geek]

It always supported changing ASA in camera. What it couldn't do is change ASA in Redcine. It isn't a problem because the exposure slider does the same thing and that works.

The RedCine and RedAlert versions are currently marked as Beta. Will those versions be changed to release versions, or should we expected upgraded versions? Thanks.

please say not yet!

[wedowee]

please say not yet!

Not yet to which of those two options?

You are correct, that note has been corrected.

The caution is about using 3rd party editing or image processing applications that do not utilize the updated RED QuickTime Codec.

[Vigen Vartanov]

Thanks.
