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.
RED QuickTime Codec (Use V3.5.0 or higher for Build 18 footage)
The RED QuickTime codec permits REDCODE RAW footage to be displayed on Macintosh OSX
personal computers running QuickTime Player V7.4.5 or higher.
Render performance of computers will vary based on CPU speed, number of cores and disk
speed. The RED ONE camera, RED Alert! and REDCINE offer QuickTime reference movies at _F
full, _H half, _M medium and _P proxy resolution. Choose the resolution that is most appropriate
to your requirement for playback frame rate on your specific computer. If the footage is to be
viewed at distant location – e.g. dailies - export the footage as a standalone movie using MPEG-
4 or other low bit rate codec.
Note: The QuickTime reference movies work by partially decoding the wavelet data, which
means that the original RAW recording must be available on a drive accessible to your
computer. For remote use, conversion to a standalone movie avoids this issue.
Note: If an ANMORPHIC record mode has been selected (2K ANA, 3K ANA, 4K ANA) any
video captured from the camera HD-SDI outputs has been stretched 2:1 to illustrate the
final 2.40:1 aspect ratio of the final image projection. The actual recorded image is 1.2:1
aspect, and the QuickTime reference movies will reflect that aspect ratio.
