Pffft. You're all way off. They're gonna give them to the cat.

So glad to hear this. I've got only 2 150wHr V-Mounts and 2 RedVolts. It's completely useable, but only because I know my gear and how to gauge the use. Just had a shoot as B Cam where my Scarlet...

Yeah, I thought it was MB/sec, but when I did the math in my sleep-deprived state, Mb/frame seemed closer.

To add a few numbers to the conversation:

A while back I did some testing. Two Mac Pros with the exact same specs, except that one had a rocket.

Without a Rocket took 20 times as long to...

Valentin's answer is actually pretty accurate. Without a Red Rocket, there isn't an effective way to increase transcodring R3Ds to ProRes. Because that process only uses one core at a time, and...

He's talking crop factor. The crop factor for 4K is 1.6. 85*1.6=136. So the composition that you end up with with that lens on 4K is the same that you would get with a 136mm lens on full frame...

This is important to me as well. I know of two different post shops (30-40 workstations between them) that, for corporate security reasons, are not allowed to connect to the internet from their...

Hey Dave, while you're here (and forgive me if this has been answered already, as I haven't read this whole thread), will Red Importing be native in Premiere CC? As in, will the necessary...

I find the manual nature of the Red plugin stuff odd. Adobe routinely releases updates for Raw image support (Canon, Nikon, etc.). Considering the small size of the files necessary, has an Adobe...

Well, most of the advice is sort-of predictable. If you have a Jib and a Shoulder mount and a Tripod and a Slider, get some quick-releases. The Kessler Kwik Release is probably the best cheap-ish...

The 2K Black Magic Cinema Camera makes some good images. I wouldn't discount the 4K version before trying it. I'd still rather have my Scarlet, but I would rather use a 4K BMCC than a C500 (I just...

Guys, this thread has all the relevant information on Dragon for Epic.

The math works better for 9:1 than it does for 10:1. It's not all neat and tidy though (notice how Red always says that Redcode 42 is "about" 7.5:1). Using the compression ratio is nice because it...

Could have sworn I read that 36 was 10:1 just the other day. Damnit. Could probably figure it out if I felt like going the algebra; I'm pretty sure that the 28, 36, and 42 refer to the Mb/s...

I know I've said this once before; you ever find yourself shooting in the North East of the US and need a DIT, I'm there. Dying to watch you shoot...

Redcode 28 is about 12:1. Redcode 36 is about 10:1. Redcode 42 is about 7.5:1.

Some VFX shots should be done at 3:1. Most BIG BUDGET movies are done at 5:1 or 6:1. TV shows and Broadcast TV...

is AME using the RMD when you do this? All levels and ISO and colorspace and whatnot?

I watched the video, and read this thread, and then I walked away.

And then it burrowed into my head . . . 2 days.

How large was your crew? I know from other threads that you like to do a lot...

The Quicktime proxies are a vastly outdated workflow. There was a time that it offered an advantage when working with Red footage. But that time was brief due to the proliferation of the Rocket,...

In terms of image quality, there are two general areas to consider.

The first, I'll call the "Scientific" performance of a lens. How well does it resolve, how true are the colors, how little is...

Too small of a shutter angle can make the footage feel "choppy". Also, since your'e shortening each exposure length, you'll need more light or a wider aperture.

But that is the answer: check your...

I've been doing a LOT of reading on lenses in the past few months. From what I gather, there are a lot of working answers. Zeiss gives a good metaphor for almost all glass: the glass arrangement...

PL vs. EF doesn't matter. If you get CP.2s and use them with the PL mount, and then swap to the EF mount, assuming backfocus is properly checked, then the image will look the same and the...

Aperture control, I believe. When I looked into it a while back, the Canon doesn't have an aperture ring, just electronic. The Nikon have an aperture ring, but the focus ring goes the "wrong" way....

Adjusting the aperture can adjust flaring and certain aberrations, though. Which could affect the "color" of the image as a whole. Adjusting shutter-speed and exposure length is really the way to...
