No:-( Focal length is what it is. A 50mm is a 50mm is a 50mm - except on some happy snappy cameras where they place an asterix next to the focal length and in small print somewhere mention they're tal
Thoughts on Scarlet?

It's been a big day in the pro video industry. A new Media Composer, a new cinema camera from Canon, and finally, the Scarlet. I'm looking into purchasing the scarlet as it seems to me to be the one t
Re: Thoughts on Scarlet?
by Shane Betts 2 years ago
Red continues to drag the industry kicking and screaming into the future. Canon, in contrast, seems only interested in holding us back - "The industry isn't ready for 4k". WTF While I, like many, feel

Hi Arthur Grant has stated, both publicly and privately, that Resolve will support other cards at some stage. That's what his comment about printers indicates I believe. You then get to make the choic

Switching Apple Color to Resolve... Good idea or Great idea?

I've been a Apple Color user for a while now but am looking to get into Resolve. Are there any converts here that can vouch for this being a wise move Apple seems to be dropping the ball in terms of p

Red R3D's on StorNext SAN - OK?

99.999% sure there'll be none but just thought I'd check in before committing. We're aiming to set up a StorNext based SAN with XSAN clients on the Mac, metadata servers on Linux and of course the pos

We run the exact same thing. Linux MDCs, a few stornext Windows clients, and over 30 Macs on Xsan clients. Works great. All Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Server, Telestream Episode Engine clusters, and mor

Just trying to figure it all out. Got the initial analysis here: The fixed-lens Scarlet, clearly aiming at Sony Panasonic Canon cameras has shown up with a price- $3,750 for the complete kit. RedCodeR

FCP/COLOR now SUPPORT RED!!!!
by Russell Lasson 4 years ago
It's official. FCP and Color now support RED. It's pretty slick too. You'll need to download the Pro Apps 2008-04 update and the new FCP Log and Transfer plug-in from the RED website. You'll edit the

AFAIK BMD doesn't offer any FX assistance whatsoever. I check in the FX handling and you just get FCP or none.
G5 kernel panics (fibre card) after 10.5 upgrade

Hope somebody can help me. One of our FCP suites is running a G5 with Decklink and LSI fibre cards. Running fine on 10.4xx but I'm hitting problems trying to update to 10.5. Here's what I'm finding. I

RED one to give 1080p playback off camera
by Ben Holmes 5 years ago
I'll be brief. The new camera firmware will - according to RED staff - provide a 4:4:2 1080p output and a 4:4:4 dual link 1080p output. This will not be compatible with HDCam SR (which is not true pro
Re: RED one to give 1080p playback off camera
by Shane Betts 5 years ago
Whether or not it could be described as "poor", it will have no substantial resemblance to a RAW image post processing grading so I'm not sure I'd use it for more than a guide. Bettsy
