FPS

OK, so I've shot plenty of RED footage over the last year and a half and today someone asks me a question I can't answer...

"How can you tell what frame rate we shot, because we need to match some plate shots to some studio footage".

I've looked in Redcine, Redalert and Movie Inspector and what looks like 100FPS footage reads 25fps @ 2k. Any ideas?

Sometimes you can look at the shutter time and work it out, but if they aren't shooting 180deg relative mode then there's no way except to look at the camera sheets... which they of course did not use, right?

I think the correct question should have been... "Where in the metadata does red store the information for the recording framerate?"

[Michael Romano]

QT Proxies should have the frame rate in them. Use quicktime to open, and then hit CMD+I for info. If no proxies were generated, use REDAlert to generate new ones.

Clipfinder lists all shot metadata
just import batch.
Download the new bête 2.2
there is also a newer alpha copy
3.0? I think

[Cail Young]

What I was getting at in a roundabout way is the Varispeed rate is not recorded in metadata.

clipfinder has a little typo it says
FPS but it really Is project time base
