I should also mention that we put the Dragon on an octocopter and shot a lot of aerials even though we had an Epic that came with the copter. The additional resolution above 4 and 5k allows stabilization and cropping without resolution loss.

I’m working with 5.6-6k Red Dragon material for a theatrical doc. I love the camera and the extra DR, sensitivity, and resolution.
I’m presently in the early stages of a multi-shoot production. At those resolutions I transcoded to DNxHD 175 to make post workable with existing hardware rather than spending a lot of money to upgrade for little additional return. I don’t expect to conform and grade for another 9 months or so. The offline online workflow seems to work well in Premiere and I expect it will be even better when it comes time to go online.

Maybe there’s no support yet for > 4k Dragon footage in FCPX? Anyone know?

And please test some 6k and 5.5k Red Dragon footage. If you don’t have any you can get some off the Reduser site.
Thanks,

I happened to download the trial of Cineform Studio Premium today and am very impressed. Even though there’s now a decent solution for encoding Prores in Windows (Miraizon) it outputs Quicktime which is more like Quicksand on a PC. Disgusting stuff.
DNxHD has to become resolution independent and Adobe has to implement an Alpha channel in AMC. Until then it looks like I’ll use Cineform for intermediate renders out of After Effects and 4k intermediates out of Premiere.

[Charlie Austin] “but then you’d have to use Pr or MC. Why would you want to do that?”
Well, it ain’t a perfect world…

It’s an impressive machine….though I think I can get more power with an HP Z820 and a couple of the new Titan Black cards…..cough..cough…I think I hear my wife coming…cough.

[Charlie Austin] “peaking of apples to oranges, I wish Apple would post the X on Mac Pro demo I saw… playing back 16 angles of mixed 4k, full res with some RT effects while driving a 4k projector. That was pretty cool.”
Well there may be a reason why they haven’t let it loose. 🙂
BTW did they ever say if the 4K streams in that demo were ProRes?

[Charlie Austin] “Is there an analog in Pr to that effect in FCP?”
No. Dust and Scratches would be the closest I guess to Aged Film. But as it’s not commonly used there’s not much incentive, I guess, for Adobe to GPU accelerate it. (Unlike with Apple and the prosumer user base of FCPX, 🙂 NOTE SMILEY!!! Please don’t loose dogs. I don’t run fast any more.
I’m surprised that PrPro played back at all with Dust and Scratches effect as it’s all done on the cpu which is already being strained mightily in your MacBook Air.
Truth be told such apples to oranges comparisons are rather meaningless…but entertaining
