RED shares a quick tutorial for creating and saving your looks to an Epic or Scarlet – great for visualizing a specific look on set.<\/h2>\n

\"Red<\/a>Say you’re looking to\u00a0achieve\u00a0a unique visual style with your project<\/strong> and are planning to apply a very specific color grade in post. \u00a0In most situations, the best you could do on set is estimate how these post-production treatments will effect your image, trying to account for them in your lighting and shot setup. \u00a0RED’s changing this\u00a0precedent, by allowing the DP and crew to actually see these color grades through the camera monitor while shooting, using\u00a0REDCINE-X PRO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The process of getting the look files from the camera, through a digital\u00a0intermediate\u00a0setup and back to camera is\u00a0surprisingly\u00a0simple. Capture a sample shot, save it to your RED Mag and open in REDCINE-X PRO<\/strong>. Apply color grading to the shot, save the RED Look file<\/strong> to the Mag and it’s back to camera. \u00a0Now<\/em> you can actually see the grade applied to the live image and make adjustments to the lighting, setup,\u00a0wardrobe, etc. before the camera even starts rolling.<\/p>\n
