R3D to CineFrom with source meta at DVinfo.net

Jeff Kosmicki · June 13th, 2011, 12:05 PM

Is there a way to convert R3D to CineForm and maintain the color settings from the source RMD (meta-data)? The CineForm files always look dark, low saturation and contrast.
Or is there a way to apply the Red color space and gamma curve in First Light? The footage uses REDcolor and REDgamma, I don't know how to translate this in FirstLight, anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,
Jeff

we do this intentionally as the Red settings would bake in and not give you the best flexibility. We do offer a RedSpace like curve within FirstLight -- set Decoder curve to "RSpace"

Ah, RSpace, I should have guessed.
Thanks for the info David. Makes sense, I obviously don't want to bake in the settings.
