Charles, be prepared for the worse case scenario.
If you go to Red forum, you can tell people there often talk about Sony, but they hope Red can give some surprise to Sony! Those are all Sony pro users for many years, they love it because it is Sony! They hate it, because it is Sony!
But Sony is, again, a pioneer (many times, in the history of consumer/broadcast electronics), this time, a 1/2 imager for a potable video camera. But this time, it is not a perfect product, it is a premature product.
Few more defects, most owners’ SDI cover will be lost in 48 hours (mine was lost from the repair service journey) if you are not careful enough; the paint on the body’s function marks will go from white to black in a speed you never expect, this happened on a dealer’s demo EX1, the white color of the choose/set and camera/media buttons almost not recognizable just after a few months. If you are running a rent house, better remember those positions asap, or you have to find a way to explain the functions of those buttons to new users. I am sure there are a lot of more on the users’ Upgrade-Wish-list.
If SONY don’t want to see everyone holding a potable Red with 1/2 or 2/3 imager on the street, they have to be serious with their products, and change their long time arrogant attitude.
First, they should find some permanent paint for the EX1 body.
Good luck, SONY!

Hi Craig, may I invite you and your camera to AP (associated press) for 5 minutes tomorrow? It is only one block away from BH, if you need other “toys” there…

As I said the S.N. I tested was 0101xxx, mine was 0101384, is it old or new compare with yours?
It will be good news if it is gone for good! But I am sure on the DVinfo there various recent (jan 19,20) stories about Vignette. From the testing I can tell that the Imaging system is very unstable, the subtle movement of camera could generate different results, that scared me.
If it is convenient with you, my I have a look at your camera? 5 minuets is all I need. email, zmupicture atgmail dot com.

I just tested yesterday, that should be recent products, right (delivered to dealer last Friday)? S.N. is there. What’s your S.N.? When did you get it?
Low light, white wall (any plain surface), F wide open, starts from 10 mm, slowly zoom in, and hold it, and check. I spotted it easily on the camera’s LCD. Now I am scared to buy any!
I even easily spotted on some fellow’s demo over the net, it seemed people don’t care. Right, it depends on what your safe zone is. If people tell me it doesn’t matter for film out, I don’t care either. Sure, you can even try to work it out with Mask effect in post if you take it for granted.

Thanks Aaron!
“End of day you can put ANYTHING on film“, you said it right, as long as the story goes well.
“ If you have something you shot in 1080 and are editing in 1080 – if it looks OK on your properly calibrated HD monitor, a decent lab will make it look OK on film“.—That’s what I want to know, thanks!
cheers,

OK, Shane, I’ll get my money ready to hire all the experts for my film; to get that money,I need to sell all my gears first, including FCP, ha ha ha!
Cheers,

Thanks Arnie,Steven, and Shane!
Maybe I didn’t make my question clear enough. I was assuming there are some established “Rules” on how to get a “Mast Copy”, you can tailor it later to suit your different purposes in the future (final goal is film).
Sure, there are a lot of “depends”…, but when we are talking about IRE7.5, we all know what than mean. Any common practice like that on Editing for Film Out?
If possible, I like to handle CC by ourself, don’t want to spend extra money on that if we can do it ourself, and it is also a lot of fun playing with color. I am asking is it “Legal” if we do it with fcp/color, for film out purpose? And how?
Specifically, I will start from a XDCAM HD project. Will it have to be 4:2;2, or 4:2;0 is fine? Sony claims its 4:2:0 can suffice a nice keying, how subtle the difference is? Will it matter film out? How much?
Yeah, a lot of stuff like that! There are some rules may just apply to Film out, not so much for TV screen. Then comes what Labs can do, and what they need from you. But first, what we can do with FCP? Maybe Coen brothers have some great tips after the success of “No country for old man”.I am sure one can write a book for this one matter. I am just wildly thinking.
