EPIC / SCARLET Firmware 3.3

[Ruff]

It would be great to have Presets work with the new Firmware versions.

Every time there is an upgrade (which is great), I have to spend an hour getting each camera back to the Presets that I use. It's frustrating...

That shouldn't be the case. There are only a few settings with have been obsoleted and when you try to apply such a preset it will warn you. If you have preset files that don't work please open a support ticket and send the preset files in so we can fix any bugs in the BETA software.

I was simply asking about something that I had read over at DVXuser about the Scarlet now able to shoot 120fps @ 2k. Seems that it can't, and IMO that's a shame. Speaking from the gospel of RED, I don't see any need for a 1k function. That was my only point.

Net result, I currently rent the EPIC instead of buying the Scarlet.

Good day to you sir :]

That's good - you help give others an incentive to buy Epics, to rent to you and others who prefer to rent the higher feature set. Killing the Epic rental market is good for Red how?

Beta 3.3.3 is great. Just now getting a chance to sit down and explore it. Love the new Soft Keys on the touch screen edges. My excitement about this camera just does not go away.

[Anderson Boyd]

Small suggestion for Keys, a toggle Guides option could be handy. We already have Show Dialogue: Guides but the addition of Toggle: Guides might be nice.

I realize the nature of most shoots renders quick toggle of aspect ratio guides irrelevant, but it'd be just another option in the infinitely open RED paradigm.

Diggin' every inch of progress!

Thanks for all the hard work RED Team. Seeing as this Build v3.3.3 includes many significant improvements, would it be possible to have it move on more quickly to become 'Release Build'? When might this happen? Any time soooooon???? Please : )

[Mikael Lubtchansky]

Anderson, this is something easily done with presets. Guides on/off, 16/9 to 1.85 or Blue guides to yellow...
Just create a guide setup you like, save a preset for that. Make the second one, save another preset.
Then see Trent's thread to understand how to make a button toggle between two different presets and voila !

Completely wicked, thanks you Mikael for the heads up! You rock buddy, had not explored this manner of presets. Just another thing added to the list that this camera can do.

[Anderson Boyd]

Ok, this presets UI needs work. Cannot argue that. Convoluted. How do I isolate particular frame guides to be applied as Presets. I've spent an hour on this and it's irking me big time.

I have the same issue. Every time I upgrade I start from scratch and redo all my settings. I wish that newer firmware would recognize that I have presets built and just "add" the new features in. I don't feel the new firmware is aware (so to speak) of any presets and just takes the camera back to factory settings. It is a pain to setup everything again.

Of course I love new firmware upgrades so keep em comin!
