Is the Alexa footage missing from the Download Media files?

You need to download it from the site Kevin visits, we're not allowed to provide it from our own download link - https://www.arri.com/en/learn-help/learn-help-camera-system/camera-sample-footage

Yes..thanks Lowepost.

I was about to delete the post when i realises that i should have been patient and listened to the module before i commented.  States very clearly that the file is not included.

Sorry!

No worries

The curiosity is whether we should be using an IPP2 workflow with Red footage in 17 or whether we should be using DWG instead. In my initial tests i don't see anything off about DWG. I'd love to hear others opinions.

I'm not sure the IPP2 workflow allows us to really use the HDR grading controls in 17 effectively... 

thanks

Hi, thanks for the content, it's hard to find anything useful about red ipp2 worflow.

You mention in the video that using RCM with IPP2, mostly it is the same as applying a CST as the very last node, but how come when I pull a key in my first node, it comes out very well defined and very clean,  exactly like it has been pulled AFTER a REC 709 transform?

Shouldn't the key be very messy as the first node is still coming from the log footage, therefore not enough contrast and color separation ?

This makes me think RCM is applied at the beginning of the pipeline? Very confused about this.

Can I debayer any R3D file using IPP2? Specially older RED DSMC cameras which doesn’t have RWG and not supporting IPP2?

Yes you can.

H Kevini! Referred to lesson 6 (LUT Management)....As far as I know, before you export the 3D Lut with the look from Resolve to be used within the camera, you need to disable the last node where the IPP2 conversion from RWG/Log3G10 to Rec709/BT.1886 happens, because that conversion is  then done automatically  by the camera when displaying the image on the monitor. And then, if you import that Lut again in Resolve, you need to activate the last node with the conversion again. At least, that's how it think it should be done until now...I'm I wrong? 

Pablo,

You are correct in that exporting a LUT out of Resolve for importing into a RED camera which supports the IPP2 color management workflow does involve disabling the ODT node in Resolve as the camera can apply the IPP2 output transform (based on the user selection) .   It is important to verify you are using the same IPP2 preset transforms  in Resolve as well as in camera.  The IPP2 output preset 3D LUTs which can be used in Resolve are available on this Red webpage. https://www.red.com/download/ipp2-output-presets.  Emily you are correct when dealing with importing a 3D LUT from Resolve to an external SDI or HDMI monitor (such as as Small HD, Atomos or other external monitor)  but incorrect if importing the CDL from Resolve into a RED camera which has the ability to apply the IPP2 ODT.    The specific application of any 3D LUT is important to consider as it must be understood if the CDL or LUT is for use in camera or an external monitor.  Ian from Able Cine explains the entire workflow using both Pomfort Livegrade and Resolve in this excellent video tutorial.
