RED Alert! (Use V3.6.0 or higher for Build 18 footage)
RED Alert! is available for Intel based Mac OSX computers only.
In addition to performing white balance and one light color correction, RED Alert! can export a
clip at 4K and 2K resolution via 10-bit DPX or 16-bit TIFF files, or create color corrected Quick-
Time reference movies for editing or other uses by applications that use the RED QuickTime
Codec. As RED ONE shoots progressive scan images, all QuickTime movies created by RED
Alert! will also be progressive scan.
The upper panel in the display provides information about the levels in the selected clip. Expo-
sure and White Balance may be altered, R G and B digital values may be sampled from the im-
age, and a Zebra exposure indicator can be selected.
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 .R3D files decoded by RED Alert! will reflect that aspect ratio. On export
from RED Alert! the image can be stretched and scaled to 2.40.:1 letterbox.
A composite RGB histogram is available, which appears below the main display area. This pro-
vides a view of the exposure distribution for the Red, Green and Blue channels.
