The Compleat Idiot’s Guide to RED Post on a Budget

Written by a complete post idiot, these RED tips may make your life slightly easier

Art Adams | 05/12- 11:03 AM

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 »

More RED Res Testing: The Mystery(ium) Resolved

A new chart shows what this camera (and several lenses) can really do.

Adam Wilt | 05/07- 06:27 PM

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. Cutting to the chase: I’m pleased to report that I see detail extinction at about 3.2K, confirming the numbers RED and others have claimed.

10 (+1) Reasons Scarlet Changes the Game in 2009

Don’t overlook the impact of RED’s entry-level camera, even for pros like you.

Mark Christiansen | 05/06- 05:57 PM

RED will not debut Scarlet, its entry-level camera, until early next year, which means that those who are already hype-weary with all things RED are already moving on to a different part of the site. Nontheless, there are solid reasons that Scarlet will change the entire landscape of low-budget digital video, assuming RED can get enough of them into the hands of the public (more about that at the end). Scarlet’s impact will be somewhere between that of the Canon 10D when it debuted and that of the iPhone. Here’s why.

1) 3K native sensor. It’s easy to lose sight of how major a step forward 3,000 pixels of horizontal resolution is for a digital video camera… more »

PVC-it Debuts -*Updated*

A Digg clone for the Pro Video space

Scott Gentry | 03/13- 11:32 AM

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 »
