APPENDIX H: POST PRODUCTION
RED workflow is quite easy to understand, especially if you have experience with photographic RAW
image processing, or shoot 16mm or 35mm film followed by a Telecine transfer to a non-linear video
editor and on-line conform.
RAW data has a wide dynamic range and color space, so you can freely change the white balance of the
footage, adjust exposure and alter highlight and shadow tonality in post-production.
The RED EPIC camera records RAW sensor data using wavelet based REDCODE RAW compression to
REDMAG 1.8” SSD. The compressed RAW data is then transferred from the digital media to a
Macintosh OSX or Windows XP workstation running REDCINE-X post production software. These
applications do not directly edit or conform the RAW data themselves, but prepare the RAW data for
editing and conforming by RGB domain post-production software applications.
In film processing terms, REDCINE-X act as an integrated film laboratory, telecine, and one light color
corrector. They convert recorded REDCODE RAW data to RGB video, and provide basic one light image
processing and color correction. Using REDCINE-X footage can also be cropped, resized, or
repositioned. These functions lessen the amount of time required for color correction or re-framing of
shots after the final cut has been completed.
REDCINE-X can also encode 4K or 2K RAW footage into a variety of uncompressed RGB and
compressed 4:2:2 video formats. Provided the appropriate QuickTime codec’s are available on the host
computer workstation, compressed video choices include ProRes, DNxHD, DV100 and M-JPEG
QuickTime movies at 1080p or 720p resolution. For film out, multi-media or special effects applications,
REDCINE-X may export a sequence of 2K or 4K image files in TIFF, Open EXR, DPX, JPEG, or
Photoshop PSD file formats.
Creating 4:2:2 at 1080p or 720p resolution QuickTime movies provides compatibility with the majority of
non-linear editing systems.
Depending on the QuickTime movie resolution, material may be taken directly to a broadcast delivery
videotape format, or after the editorial decisions have been made, video can be conformed at full image
resolution by replacing the lower resolution edit proxy (e.g. 720p at 8 bit quality) with a high resolution
4K, 2K or 1080p image file.
SOFTWARE TOOLS
RED Digital Cinema provides a variety of software tools to aid postproduction. For proper color rendition
using a Macintosh OSX computer, your monitor should be set to Adobe 1998, or to SMPTE-C display
profile. If you use the HD Cinema display profile, adjust the gamma to 2.2.
