Whats best camera setting for filmlook & music video on Red1

Actually there are differences as the advanced electronics in the Epic does a better job of getting the most from the sensor. Having said that may not make a huge difference on screen.

That is a fair assessment. It would be interesting to have a Epic and RED One in a side by side on a green screen, both at 4k and see the results. I was mostly addressing the assumption that Epic would be more light sensitive than the Red One. Same exact sensor if MX. The RED One has the 5K it just uses it in the look around, non-recorded image area.

Edit Add: I should also say that the compression choices in the Epic could be a really big deal in the Epic. to go to 3:1 for a green screen could be a big advantage over the REDCODE choices in Red One. That just occurred to me. But there have been a lot of great films shot with both sensors on the RED One that if you are on a budget it still is a great choice. Might want to go with the REDCODE 42 on RED One.

Looking at the original post Ali mentions shooting at 48 fps, I don't know why but he does. This in my opinion would leave the RED One out of contention as you cannot shoot 4K at 48 fps. Ali go for an Epic so you can get the advantage of 4 or 5k if you need to shoot 48 fps. This is a specialized sync rate that might be a challenge for a novice btw. For example neither the Epic or RED One will record onboard audio at 48 fps so a scratch track for syncing is not available. And doing timecode will be a interesting situation, not sure how people are doing 48 fps TC.

Not sure this helps anyone, but so you know, we have a full online program and DVD on the operation of the RED One.. It's called the RED101.

I feel a little guilty cause all our focus has been on Scarlet and EPIC.. But we STARTED on the RED ONE. I have not mentioned it in a while.

Just go to www.infotechacademy.net and click on the RED ONE course. If you are up for learning EPIC and SCARLET also, be sure to use the ALL RED ACCESS.. Since that's the best deal. Hope this helps any new RED ONE owners.

Good luck!
