| I won't bother re-typing stuff I've already written, so here's a few comments that you might find interesting: http://chriszwar.com/wordpress/gallery-and-case-studies/ In this case I'm talking about Alexa footage, but the real issue is not the camera used, but the colour management workflow. Red footage is great and is about as good as you can expect these days - Red and Alexa each have slight strengths and weaknesses but really, compared to most other cameras it's really splitting hairs because they produce great pictures. If you're doing keying you'll want to de-noise the footage first but that's kinda universal too. The workflow I mention in the link above solves a few problems by ensuring all colour correction is done by one operator looking at one calibrated monitor and places the bottleneck at the very first stage of post-production. This might sound counter-intuitive but it means that once the grading is done, it's done and everyone else can get on with it and not worry about colour management at all. It means a few technical considerations are taken care of in one place, by one skilled operator. Then compers can get on with comping, and not worry about colour at all. It's an interesting approach that I haven't seen before, that's why I thought it was worth mentioning even if it doesn't work for you. -Chris On 24/04/2012, at 9:04 AM, Phil Spitler wrote: > I'm wondering what tools people are using with Red these days. > > We recently did a project and decided to do all our Red color correction in our Smoke suite. > > We ended up with a huge bottle neck so now I'm looking into alternatives that would allow use to use our Mac workstations to color correct or Red projects. > > Does Resolve on the Mac work well with Red footage?
