Unofficially, Apple's "new Mac Pro" was woefully late before finally being released at the end of 2013. Sporting zero nVidia GPUs, the new Mac Pro did not usher in a new wave of innovation and...

I think the hidden message is this: the Mac Pro in the image will play six full-res streams of Komodo 6K footage without glitching. YMMV.

What Apple is not doing with AMD CPUs is just insane. Absolutely insane.

I take back my compliments. You've gone rogue.

Waqas, thanks for trying to be a productive participant here on REDUSER.net. I watched the video and thought you did a decent job of both making proper disclaimers and showing a valid workflow for...

Would love to know more about RCX and Resolve performance numbers. I realize that Apple is promoting FCPX (all people who got pre-release machine talk specifics only about Apple SW or codecs running...

One of the early review guys responded to my question on Twitter. Right now afterburner is ONLY for ProRes RAW, and only implemented within FCPX and other Apple programs. They do say it will be...

Maybe if RED offered ProRes RAW as a supported RAW format the afterburner would make sense. But right now it looks like not.

$17,599 gets you:

3.2GHz 16‑core Intel Xeon W processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.4GHz
96GB (6x16GB) of DDR4 ECC memory
Radeon Pro Vega II Duo with 2x32GB of HBM2 memory
4TB SSD storage

If you are shooting a dark scene, you need to protect shadows. If you are shooting a bright scene, you need to protect highlights. It's why, on Helium, we rate at 320 for dark scenes and 1280 for...

It works.

Red Rocket-X does not work either with latest MacOS nor Windows. You might think "hey, that's ok, I just won't update my system's" but then you'll discover you can't use the latest GPUs or software.

If Apple doesn't announce support for a fully-optimized R3D workflow on MacPro+AMD+Afterburner that's competitive AT LAUNCH with what RCX can do on nVidia since early this year, I'm done with them.

Here's the crazy thing about Puget Systems: if you them them what you want to do with your system (presumably not merely run benchmarks), they will use their considerable knowledge and experience to...

Good advice! I have the 12mm which is brilliant on my Monstro VV. But it's a waste having such a large image circle and it's a question whether such a wide-angle lens plays nice with speed...

It ses to be the damn PSUs that make both LiteMats and LiteTiles so expensive.

Um....no. IQ is IQ. Yes, it is possible to increase a resolution metric, say from 24 lp/mm to 36 lp/mm. But if the FF lens is only able to resolve X line pairs total, shrinking the image size down...

You would do well to spend time and money renting a variety of lenses before making an all-in bet. This is not only to evaluate the specific qualities (and idiosyncrasies) of the lenses, but also of...

It looks like the "X" means that the on-light display has been X-ed.

In-camera frame processing is good for some things, but it is useful only in context. What I explained was a general way of thinking about motion blur in time lapse photography. From there you can...

I wish all lens manufacturers would produce information like this for their lenses:

Almost as good (you have to scroll dow...

No. If you are doing a timelapse during an eclipse (where there is a considerable change of lighting value), you can use the long frames to get much less noisy pictures while the sun is blotted out,...

Replace that clip with your own media and it should do what you expect.

Turns out to be not that hard to do in Resolve. This project (which uses a 192 frame 24fps leader sequence I downloaded from the net) shows how it's done:

That's an exercise left for the reader. I imagine there's a way to create a fusion composition that does the right thing.
