4k PRO RES... Real time in full res!!... WOW!!!!

[Imran Farouk]

Mark, could you be talking about the new external Red Rocket card housed in a Sonnet casing?? I know I probably won't get it out of you but I thought it was worth a try!

new external red rocket? Is it not the current one in a sonnet casing?

Nope. Tghis was prores playback, not R3D...

[Ben J King]

The Sonnet/Red Rocket card from memory only plays back r3ds, but it'd be nice if it did ProRes as well.

Cant say to much, but it was playing out of FCP -X PRO RES 4k via a video card in unmarked box independent of the mac tower... (hush hush).. which went to directly to the 4K projector and the 4k Monitor at the same time.

mmm...i actually wish the the 4k monitor was part of the apple demo...

We already know that Resolve has very slow database function as it comes from an AB tape based kind of workflow, but I am sure they are working on imporving that.

We do? What does "very slow database function"mean? Resolve's database function is not any different, than, for example, Baselight.
And Resolve from get go was designed as file based grading platform, unlike DaVinci 2k.

After 8.1 I have no database/conform issues with Resolve. Works like a charm...

Just sayin'

Good to know they've been resolved Gunleik.

I'm probably going to get bashed for this but lets just say that the ALEXA upgrades the front block with a new 4K sensor (and replaces the SxS module with a new faster form of media) and records LOG to a 4K PRO RES what really would be would be a far superior benefit for shooting RAW? I mean if 4K PRO RES looks as good as you say it is it seems to me that shooting RAW is only going to add an extra step that in my opinion seems like overkill.

However at the moment I completely understand because what else is there!

Thats not a silly comment...

REDLOGFILM 4k was most certainly impressive to grade with. If ARRI did bring out a 4k PRORES machine.. then that would most certainly get my head turning, but that said, RAW is not over kill. I like being able to adjust thins afterward, you cannot reset white balance, gammas etc with a PRO RES file. Colour is burnt in...

Conform yes, but what database issues? What database issues, that had been resolved in 8.1? I never had any issues with database in Resolve. And I had been using it since early Mac OSX Beta...

LOL

The database slowed down everything when you worked with huge projects (100+ days of shooting) like the series I regularily work with. Used up to 5 minutes just to save the project, whenyou had to load the shots first and conform to them from an XML/EDL when you conformed between formats (in my case mov to r3d/EXR)

This was related to how the conform worked.

As you now can load just the shots you need, the database does not slow down the workflow.

It used to do that tremendously when it hit the ceiling...

Anyhow.

This is now a non-issue, as it actually works very well! :)
