POST PRODUCTION
VIDEO EDITING, COLOR GRADING AND MEDIA ENCODING
For in-house productions, our workflow is based around the extremely robust REDCODE RAW codec, allowing for full quality, 12 to 16 bits color, native 4k/5k/6k resolution editing and finishing.
Our online and offline edit suites run Final Cut Pro X on the Mac. Color grading can be performed directly on the timeline using Red Cine-X Pro or sent to Da Vinci Resolve. Adding special effects via secondary color grading and film emulation, the possibilities are endless.
Leveraging the benefits of the very latest color science from Red Digital Cinema, and the seamless integration within our NLE of third-party plug-ins such as Red Giant's MAGIC BULLET LOOKS 2 and FILM CONVERT PRO 2, the enitre pipeline is 4k native.
AUDIO RECORDING, MIXING AND MASTERING
Post production (mixing and mastering) is as essential for audio as it is for video. We can provide multitrack recording and mixing, in the studio (voiceovers) or on location, up to 24 bits / 192 kHz, using one of our two platforms of choice: Avid's Protools or Apple Logic Pro X running on the latest multicore Mac Pro.
VIDEO & AUDIO WORKSTATIONS
APPLE MAC PRO
4k editing workstation
With 12 virtual cores, dual 3.5 Ghz Intel Xeon E5 with Turbo Boost up to 3.9 Ghz, dual AMD Firepro D700 graphics and 64 GB of RAM, our online editing workstation easily handles 4k footage in real time.
DIGIDESIGN Digi 002
Digital Automated Mixing Desk
Designed to streamline all audio recording (voiceovers) and mixing applications, this fully automated control surface and interface supports 96 Khz audio. Pro Tools and Logic Pro X are both available.
PROMISE PEGASUS R4
12 TB, Thunderbolt 2 RAID array
With I/O rates of up to 800 MB/sec, the R4 is our main RAID array for online editing. Using the Thunderbolt 2 protocol, the system can deliver theoretical speeds of 10 Gbits/sec of throughput.
REDCINE-X PRO
Digital 4k, 5k and 6k darkroom
The companion app to Red Digital Cinema's ecosystem of cameras, this is a veritable digital darkroom, unlocking the potential of the RAW codec and integrating with all major editing platforms natively.
FINAL CUT PRO X
Hardware accelerated NLE
Apple's latest revision of the Final Cut platform unlocks the power of the 64-bit architecture of today's processors. Fully integrated with Redcine-X Pro, this powerful NLE is 4k and 5k enabled.
COLOR GRADE & CORRECTION
Magic Bullet Looks + Film Convert Pro 2
With the granular level of color manipulation enabled by Red Giant's Magic Bullet 2.0 suite, and the outstanding film emulation of Film Convert Pro 2, the possibilities are endless.
Da Vinci RESOLVE 17
Advanced, online color correction
Blackmagic Design's Davinci Resolve has rapidly established itself as the industry standard for major productions and commercials when it comes to primary and secondary color correction.
Apple Macbook air 11"
DIT on location
When shooting REDCODE RAW on location, the amount of data generated can sometimes be overwhelming. Our mobile DIT system allows not only for fast review of footage, but also efficient backup.
APPLE macbook pro 15"
Portable offline editing system
Equipped with a 2.8 Ghz, Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 16 GB of RAM and a retina display, the Macbook Pro is our weapon of choice for quick 4k editing, LUT previewing and data crunching on the go.
THE POWER OF "RAW"
REDCODE RAW (.R3D) is a file format designed to efficiently encode light measurements from a camera's digital sensor.
Each of the sensor's color channels are stored separately, and controls such as white balance and exposure (ISO) can be changed at any point, non-destructively, after the footage has already been captured.
Because such settings are appended to the recorded files as metadata only, grading itself is completely non destructive.
Through RED CINE-X PRO and the evolving color science provided by Red Digital Cinema, footage that was shot even on older Red cameras can be constantly improved, color-wise and look-wise, as time goes by and the technology itself advances.
Moonweed Digital offers full, native editing of .R3D footage, online and without encoding.
