Mike Curtis on the New Red

Today Red announced 8 (yes, EIGHT) new cameras. Sensors range from 2/3” to 186x56mm (yep, that’s 7 1/3 by 2 1/5 INCHES), with resolutions from 3K to 28K, with prices from $2500 to $55,000 for the “brains” of the units (more on that below). Incredibly modular to a Legos or Erector Set degree. There’s a HUGE amount of information up on Red’s website here, but after the jump I’ve organized/summarized, have some analysis, and answers to questions not found on their site. Continues after the jump....

High quality YouTube video hack
You may have noticed that the video of Burn-E I embedded looked a bit better than a normal YouTube video. YouTube has been quietly offering high-quality versions of some of their videos for quite some time via a "watch in high quality" link just underneath the player. It's not HD, but it's definitely an upgrade of YouTube's legendarily crappy video quality. By default all videos on YouTube and embedded on other sites load at normal quality, but there's a way to set your default viewing quality to high, link to high quality video, embed HQ video, and even save HQ videos for later viewing.

Photoshop for Video Available from the Focal Press

Real-world solutions for making graphics for video, motion graphics, and DVD authoring Expanded coverage of High Def video 16-bit and 32-bit image processing techniques for greater color fidelity Integration guides for top selling Editing, Motion Graphics, and DVD software Automation and shortcut methods that cut production time and improve final product
This isn’t a book about using video in Photoshop. Rather, it’s a basic Photoshop training manual designed for folks who work primarily in video programs and want to add Photoshop to their arsenal. Focusing on those aspects of Photoshop that pertain to video, this book does an excellent job of explaining such topics as pixel aspect ratio; the differences in image size and color for NTSC, PAL, and HD; and transparency for video.” –Peter Bauer, Photoshop User Magazine
