hi all
thought i'd ask about this before i go into tail-chasing mode... and not the good kind....
i got a slew of Red media shot with an Epic and found that on my mc 5.5.2 nitris osx 10.6.7 setup i cannot read these via ama - i either need to go with redcine or mc 6. i ultimately used redcine, which i've not used before. it seemed a fairly straightforward process to take the files and make DNxHD175x mxf's, which came into the avid fine but for one thing: the levels were akin to the old canon 7d files - crushed blacks and hot whites. of course, the "set source settings" option doesn't work on the mxf's. i was able to look at these red files on a mc 6 system, and saw the same issue using ama. when i tried the "set source setting" in mc 6 the files became pixellated with color artifacts and where not usuable. in the meantime i am using cc to bring the levels under control, but would love to figure a workflow for these in mc 5. in addition, i was reading some info about the Epic and it's feature of shooting two simultaneous video tracks - a primary track and a highlight protection track, which are combined in a single red file. these are "baked" into a transcode and cannot be adjusted in the avid later.
if anyone has some experience with the Epic i'd love to hear any tips.
thanks
b
