Hi there! As we're more used to Alexa footage here, I just wanted to ask about RED, as I have some footage here that let's me wonder about the capabilities of the RED camera:
I have some shots with fire, sun, lamps, etc. in my images. Shot with EPIC-X. When importing them into Nuke and linearizing them, I always see that these bright highlights are clipping at around a value of 3 to 4 (depending on the channel). This happens, no matter how I treat the footage: - importing the original R3D file in Nuke and use "half float linear" as gamma space and 'linear' as the Read colorspace - importing the original R3D file in Nuke and use "RedlogFilm" as gamma space and 'cineon' (or PlogLin) as the Read colorspace - converting the R3D in RedCine X Pro to DPX with RedlogFilm and importing with 'cineon' or 'PlogLin' - converting the R3D in RedCine X Pro to EXR with ACES and importing with 'linear' Having similar takes shot with the Alexa as AlexaLogC, bright highlights will clip at a value of 54! I don't want to start a 'war' Alexa vs. RED, but just wanted to know if this really is 'normal', so the RED will not deliver higher values, or if there is something wrong/strange is going on here.
