What’s Red got up its sleeve with the new Scarlet camera?
Written by a complete post idiot, these RED tips may make your life slightly easier
This is by no means a definitive manual on how to post RED footage. Rather, this is how I managed to work with R3D footage while creating a spec spot using the RED. Your mileage may vary. I expect to be flamed repeatedly regarding my handling… more »
I confess: I’m a freak. An outcast. A hard case. Why? Because I use the wrong NLE.
more »A new chart shows what this camera (and several lenses) can really do.
I obtained a new, 4K resolution test chart at NAB, and aimed RED ONEs running build 15 version 2.2.5 at it using four different lenses: a 50mm Super Speed, a 50mm Ultra Prime, a 18-50mm RED zoom, and a 24-290mm Optimo.

A Digg clone for the Pro Video space
It’s highly likely that you’ve heard of Digg. In fact, we have a Digg button on most articles, and have been “dugg” numerous times in our illustrious first 42 days of being online.
The code monkeys here at PVC (namely me), have been working feverishly to bring a Digg-like clone to the professional video market. Let’s face it, as valuable as Digg is, it’s really for the general consumer market and short of doing searches, there are no categories for the Professional Video person. So we created PVC-it. Yeah, yeah the marketing people weren’t exactly up all night with that one (again me), but hey it… more »
