I'm working on a show that has a fair bit of handheld RED footage of
high-detail nature scenes, some of them quite high-contrast.
This footage gets quite soft when the camera moves -- considerably more
than the normal motion blur I am accustomed to seeing with other formats.
I see this on transcoded footage at DNxHD115, but it looks even worse
when playing untranscoded AMA RED clips.If I examine the RED footage
with REDCine-X it seems to be comparably blurred during motion.
Higher contrast shots seem worse than lower-con ones, and the issue
becomes much less apparent after transcoding to SD.
Is this par for the course for RED footage?If so, is it a well-known
limitation?It seems to me like it may be a natural outcome of
compressing images with high complexity both spatially and temporally,
but I haven't seen it discussed on RED forums.Is there some other likely
cause?Is there any way to make it easier to watch?
Lots of questions!Any insights much appreciated.
