RED Tools 2.0.2

RED Tools is a versatile tool tailored for filmmakers and camera operators to establish optimal camera setup practices across diverse shooting scenarios. Specifically designed for compatibility with RED's DSMC2® and DSMC® camera systems, each tool is adaptable to different RED camera and sensor types. The tools also encompass standard film formats for comparative analysis.

• CROP FACTOR: This feature allows users to preview how a focal length will appear based on resolution and sensor type, offering an illustration of the visible area in comparison to a traditional 35 mm stills photography sensor.
• R3D RECORDING TIME: Evaluate video data rate and recording time based on your specific RED camera settings, aiding in pre-shoot planning regarding media needs and production costs.
• FLICKER FREE VIDEO: Determine optimal shutter speed and frame rate combinations for flicker-free shooting under artificial lighting conditions.
• DEPTH OF FIELD: Gain insights into how different camera settings can affect depth of field.
• PANNING SPEED: Estimate the ideal panning speed to avoid pronounced judder—an intuitive alternative to conventional cinematography manuals' reference charts and tables.
• EXPOSURE: This tool provides support with exposure adjustments necessitated by changes in camera settings, such as when altering frame rates for slow motion, adjusting T-stop for depth of field, or changing shutter angle to reduce flicker under artificial light.
