Red “Mythbusting” Video

Ted shows off how 4K footage can be dropped into a timeline for 2K offline editing

RED / RED Mythbusters

Ted Schilowitz sat down with Michael from Plaster City and did some mythbusting, to show that:

1.) You can play back on a Mac straight from the footage from camera
2.) You can drop that footage straight into Final Cut Pro
3.) You can play it back in Final Cut Pro without transcoding, and
4.) You can edit that footage, straight from camera

They shot it with two cameras, and walk you through the whole thing in real time. A good demo to see how it really does.

Caveats - you need a FAST machine - 8 core Mac Pro strongly recommended. You don’t get much in the way of realtime performance - you can play and you can cut.

BUT...it works! It is quick and easy if you need to cut stuff in a hurry AND have a fast box.

Link at top of article takes you to page on Red’s site that has small and large versions.

dude
i can do HD editing… RT ... on my dual G5
and i know 2K is 10% wider, but really,
isn’t this an NON-issue? 
it is groovy that they reference the 4K file when using the 2K footage, for later online render--
but
i thought they were gonna do something with 4K footage…

dude - is way more than 10% more than HD - gotta debayer, color matrix, decompress a wavelet, etc.

DEFINITELY an issue.
