CURRENT TOOLS CAPABLE OF PROCESSING EPIC FOOTAGE?

[Chris Parker]

Wanted to start a thread where tools that are updated to work with EPIC footage can be announced or posted here. Can those that know post what software build of REDCine-X is currently being used to process EPIC footage? Can a Rocket be used to process EPIC footage? What are the main differences between processing EPIC and processing MX footage?

Are tools like Storm, DaVinci, Baselight, Clipfinder, etc. etc. capable of doing anything with EPIC footage? If not, this could be a good thread to post in when these updates do become available.

Thinking mainly getting it from .r3d into AVID or Final Cut for offline with a look applied. Any thoughts from those currently doing it are greatly appreciated.

I'm going to bet that around NAB time the new final cut pro will support 5k epic footage.

And the gamma issues will be resolved.


Great thread start chris!

That would be the day!

Seriously.

There are tools for sure. It would be good if someone like Brook Willard got on this thread.

There has to be something in place as there are a lot of shoots happening with EPIC cameras.

I am going to guess that the current workflow involves a version of rcx and a beta version that works with red rocket.

Beyond this Im going to guess that an EPIC SDK will be released before the EPICs go out en mass, thereby making sure that post is ready for all of the EPIC footage that is about to be unleashed.

RED has it together. I really think they have learned from the R1 release. I expect they will exceed our expectations.

Mark P. has been doing some alpha (beta?) testing with Assimilate Scratch for Epic footy. In the early days of the RedOne some of the usual suspects seemed in no hurry to provide native r3d support - I think times have changed since then .

What I am not clear on is the status of the SDK for 3rd parties as relates to Epic footage vs RedOne footage. AFAIK the basic file structure for r3ds is the same. Does the latest color science work for both RedOne and Epic files? If so, then developers have one less hurdle to clear. There are some new formats on Epic that the RedOne does not support, 5K scope/2:1/16:9 for starters - not sure if the SDK needs to offer hooks for those or if the developers can just add them... While I don't know all the details; levels of compression and how they are notated/flagged is being changed and that may require SDK/dev coordination to implement.

It appears that EPIC will be one of the most revolutionary cameras ever released... motion and still.

We are keen to release SDKs that give everyone access to EPIC technology. And we are encouraging as many 3rd parties as possible to embrace it.

That's all we can do.

Um... yeah... right...

I agree, and I greatly appreciate it. Even though they may not be listening now, I don't think 3rd party support will be a problem once more people have Epic in hand.
