RED Alert!
(Use V3.5.0 or higher for Build 17 footage)
RED Alert! is available for Intel based Mac OSX computers only.
In addition to performing white balance and one light color correction, RED Alert! can export a
clip at 4K and 2K resolution via 10-bit DPX or 16-bit TIFF files, or create color corrected Quick-
Time reference movies for editing or other uses by applications that use the RED QuickTime
Codec. As RED ONE shoots progressive scan images, all QuickTime movies created by RED
Alert! will also be progressive scan.
The upper panel in the display provides information about the levels in the selected clip. Expo-
sure and White Balance may be altered, R G and B digital values may be sampled from the im-
age, and a Zebra exposure indicator can be selected.
A composite RGB histogram is available, which appears below the main display area. This pro-
vides a view of the exposure distribution for the Red, Green and Blue channels.
A one light color correction panel permits adjustment of Color Temperature, Saturation, Contrast,
Brightness, Red Gain, Green Gain and Blue Gain. These parameters match those available in the
RED ONE camera.
Note: The range and resolution of these color correction parameters is greater than those avail-
able in the camera UI. This reflects the need for greater range and precision for the controls in
post-production than for monitoring images during image capture.
