Primary In Room Parameters for RED Media in Color
When RED QuickTime media is sent to or imported into Color, a RED tab appears in the
Primary In room, next to the Basic and Advanced tabs. There is no corresponding RED
tab in the Primary Out room.
The RED tab appears in the Primary In room whenever a RED QuickTime clip is selected as the
current shot, and provides access to RED-specific parameters.
The RED camera writes linear light image data to the R3D files that are recorded. The
controls found in the RED cameraʼs Audio/Video menus in no way alter the way the
image data is written within each R3D file. Instead, whatever settings were chosen at
the time are stored within each recorded clip as metadata (similar to a LUT) that
determines how these media files are displayed by compatible software. This metadata
can be overridden during the log and transfer process.
