Still Workflow Video

[Bob Gundu]

I think that you will not be able to do thia with your Scarlet because if you shoot at 4k 24p you will have to set 48 as shutter speed: blurry images
i think that the only way to get stilla from motion is using the Epic

Why? Epic and scarlet have identical shutter speeds. Framerates won't give less motion blur.

Epic : 4k 120fps=240 shutter speed=no motion blur
Scarlet: 4k 30fps=60 shutter speed=motion blur

What version of RCX-Pro? Which version of Photoshop? It's working fine for me here. Running RCX Pro b10, CS 5.5

I'm using the same versions as you.

On Windows 7.

Arturo, you can set shutter speed independently of frame rate.

Yes i know it but if you want to have useful footage you would have to set the shuter speed number like the frame rate or like the double if you don't want to create strobo effect.
Example: If you shoot at 30fps and 120 shutter speed you would be able to catch stills from motion without motion blur yes,but the footage would not be usefull(strobo effect)

Cool I was just wondering what the still workflow is like for people doing stills on EPIC/Scarlet. Great new additions to RCX!

So true. Scarlet cannot do for stills what Epic crucially can. Having done lots of research - even nearly bought a Scarlet and now having just shot with Epic on a trip in Cape Town, shooting to get the optimal still from motion, only Epic is going to give it to you. 96fps, 180deg+ shutter @5k is what works, no 'if's' and 'but's' about it. I shot Canon 1DS Mk2 right along side Epic and in my opinion the Epic 16Bit Tiff 76mb file was slightly better (PL glass?). I was blown away by it. Even when I crop the 'still' landscape frame down to become a portrait to fit a magazine I'm still left in awe! You can talk about resolution till the cow's come home (English expression!) but all i know is this camera delivers still frames that I'm spellbound by..... I now just need to find the best way to take the 96fps motion down to 24fps - any advice?

However, to complete the package for me........ RED are you listening! Two things on my wish list to make the camera just perfect - single frame and flash sync.....please, please, please!

+1I would like to lnow how to convert 96fps into 24 also

Hasn't Jim mentioned a while ago that a regular flash won't work with Red's cameras, because of the rolling shutter? That a 'long duration' flash must be used?
I'm guessing that means something like Paparazzi lights, maybe DMX boards to run them...
I don't think talent would enjoy a longer duration flash, though.

Currently a Mac only feature. I want to get it working on Windows soon.
