all the touch screen functions are accessible through the side handle. Also, all the buttons on the screen, side handle, and the SSD module are customizable with "shortcut" functions.
I go back and forth between the Red Epic and Arri Alexa. Image wise Red seems to represent the best of what digital cinema has to offer but the Arri Alexa gives you the look of film that Red simply can't.
This is awesome! RED is definitly way better than a DSLR but Magic Lantern allows you to use a lot of those features like False Color, Peeking/Clipping and Focus peek.
@artsYedITs Clipping is a form of distortion that limits a signal once it exceeds a threshold. Clipping may occur when a signal is recorded by a sensor that has constraints on the range of data it can record.
That guy is great at explaining everything! I definitely learnt more about the camera. Oh and I want that camera. Either an Epic, Scarlet or an Arri Alexa. Will probably depend on my budget which is zero at the moment.
Imagine when all this technology will be shoved into something the size of a T2i and we'll think back and say remember how huge and expensive the Red Epic was?!?!?
From the DSLR world to the EPIC world! Awesome! : ) The RED Epic seems like it might be the camera that all major movie companies will use in the future. I'll finish watching this vid later!
This is the most I've seen of a RED camera... I'm a video production major. I've worked on film festival submissions and several others using both DSLR and XLHD1 with Red Rock adaptors. If they could take the two and merge functions (especailly like the RED did with the focus assisting functions) I would really like that. Dave just want to say your videos are great and informative. I enjoy your product reviews, because you give a good opinion on how the equipment will stand up to abuse ect
That guy sounds like Vincent Gallo. I read some blogs that go crazy about the RED and what not and post small news about it and talk about featues bla bla bla....first time I see how the damn camera is turned on was on this video. Great job!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing this great Red Epic tutorial! Now I have an idea how shooting 5K is... Planning to buy a Red Epic Dragon after graduating in college.... lol
@BlakeinatorMate Count around just under 300MBps for uncompressed RAW 1080p at 30fps 12bit 4:4:4 video and uncompressed surround audio. It’s just under the maximum spec of the new SDXC memory card. 2Tb would last around 2 hours at this rate.. At the moment not only the camera would be the problem.
hate touchscreen, what was wrong with buttons? You had the total help of felt sense, to help you know you're actually hitting the right button, touchscreen anything, has to be accuracy by sight alone, i make so many mistakes since getting my touchscreen phone, and i have it along time. Buttons work!
You'd have to be using some pretty bad glass for that to happen. Technically you can use Canon Glass on an Epic or a Scarlet and still get some pretty impressive results. Just take a look at CorridorDigital's Sync. They use Canon Glass (Not even the L-Series) and produce stunning images with their Scarlet.
@vbobkovsky I'm not talking about UI design, but the speed, or should I say lag and organization. Magic Lantern firmware looks more polished and a lot more responsive, and that is just a free hacked homemade firmware against 35k dollars pro camera. It's just a matter of time when Canon make cheaper and better 4k camera, and push the Red from the market, just like almost every other US tech company.
Ignace Aleya hey wassup bro came here to watch ur 6 year ago comment i came here as 17 yrs old to learn red camera and i watched till the end. I i understanded completly so now i can use on these beasts bro
This was really helpful thanks for the video. I wish you went into the idea of exporting the footage on to a laptop or desktop because I have to export on set in a few weeks and have never touched a red other than one time.
I'm going back in time to see how workflows have changed in only 10 years 🤯
RED , contract this man, incredible explanation, for me the best i see over the internet.
James is amazing at explaining all of this efficiently
This is the best tutorial I've ever seen on a camera. Thank you so much guys for doing this
I shouldn't have watched this. I am drooling all over my keyboard.
I love all your videos and learn so much. Thanks for doing this for us!
all the touch screen functions are accessible through the side handle. Also, all the buttons on the screen, side handle, and the SSD module are customizable with "shortcut" functions.
this was the most informative tutorial i've sceen for the Red Epic. thanks for posting, and i can't wait for the interview.
hahaha Dave looked wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too happy playing with the RED just like a kid with his best toy :D
That was the BEST red epic tutorial on youtube! thank you all :):)
You are so lucky who were offered to try a red epic !
This is a true service to film makers the world over.

That Redmote is just amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A.C.E.S COMES IN HANDY NOW
This was an amazing video. You're doing a community service pal.
The best and most informative insight and overview of the EPIC I have seen thus far. Thank you guys.

thanks coming from a DSLR background this is just a big bonus for me

Commenting from the future to declare you a prophet. Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K has come
Greetings from a GH5s shooter here :)
Can't wait to see your footage and process.
This is the coolest RED tutorial I´ve ever seen! Thanks for it!
My mind is blown. All the advantages of Raw available to you for video. I can only hope one day I get to work with cameras like these.
From the DSLR world to the EPIC world! Awesome! : ) The RED Epic seems like it might be the camera that all major movie companies will use in the future. I'll finish watching this vid later!
Very fun to watch! Thanks Dave.
Great video. Seems like the RED cameras are what RAW is to photography

the thought of having this camera boggles the mind.
Excellent video. Love the Red Cameras
Wow, what a great tutorial! Thanks Dave!
I'm watching this right now and I was confused why James is specifically mentioning the t2i then I realized it was posted 8 years ago.
So cool. Definitely shows the power of Magic Lantern off too!
That camera is modular, so you can mount the screen pretty much anywhere you like =).
Awesome video Dave. If someone asks me if I know how to shoot with the epic I'll just say yes.
Great tutorial. Magic Lantern for T2i also has the Zebra Bars for over/underexposed shots built in.
DAMN! Looks really cool that camera.
Good intro to the Epic and, to a degree, Scarlet. I did miss a fair amount of it wondering why it sounded that way.
@gokschi so far my computer is handling it fine, you can see my computer specs on my gear page.
Omg this camera is so awesome :D Loved the tut , it wasnt boring .
I'll be shooting on a Scarlet in a few weeks. This was truly great advice!
Probably your longest vid ever.
Probably your best vid too :)
That was awesome! Thanks for the info.
Fincher's Dragon Tattoo was getting 45MB's a frame, 1.1GBs per second. 4TB's an hour. 55 TB DI result total!
Thanks for sharing this great Red Epic tutorial! Now I have an idea how shooting 5K is... Planning to buy a Red Epic Dragon after graduating in college.... lol
great stuff... on set for the first time with an epic tomorrow, and this was helpful. thanks!
Wow! Amazing camera.
I think you shoud make a short film with it ! Maybe a nature shot or something..?

How much I wish dslr videos were able to be shot in a raw format!!!
When I heard what this camera is capable of I got excited like a little boy. :) You've kept your cool pretty well, though. Thanks for the great vid!
Great Job, thanks for taking the time to produce this.
Wow thanks I realy needed to see this, its 2020 and the video is from 2012! Realy helpfull even now!
Thanks Dave, that was very cool.
The touchscreen and UI is like Symbian five years ago :)
Thanks Dave, this was great!
I know this is dated upload video but nevertheless I enjoyed it as Ebay prices for the Epic 5k have dropped to sane levels.
It works best with an 18% grey card. and btw grey is the same color as white, just darker.
Awesome video Dave!

great vid, that guys awesome at explaining and that camera is a beast
Red Epic, SOLD!!!
Thanks , without this i woudnt know how to use my red epic properly . =) thanks one more time !
I use to shooting with dslr and now I am going to shoot with red epic in my next project...
damn that camera is beautiful
Great overview. I really appreciate the information. Now i just need to figure out a way to convince my boss to buy one for our company!
Excellent tutorial, well made and well done.
Wow that was awesome! Thanks for that vid!
WOW!!! This RED epic is everything 😥😥😎

What a cool video!
Excellent video, very informative.
This was a terrific tutorial. Thanks so much!
Everything that is done on the monitor can be done with the Scarlet.
Really cool, I hope I'll own one one day but that'll probably be a rent instead of owning one xD
Ignace Aleya hey wassup bro came here to watch ur 6 year ago comment i came here as 17 yrs old to learn red camera and i watched till the end. I i understanded completly so now i can use on these beasts bro
Its a Great Post by dave, Great job!

James is going to have to change the name of his site very soon RED has a new sensor that will be 6K. LOL
that camera has a PL mount, not EF. The EF Mount Epic can allow it :)
Great dave!, reminds me of magic lantern, A LOT!!...
Great video. Very insightful
Thank you guys.
Great stuff... really interesting.. Thanks Dave!
"like a diamond in the sky"----Rihannna
great video! very informative yet simple.
@artsYedITs losing detail on the highlights- when your highlights gets blown-out...depends on the dynamic range of your sensor.
Why does the short guy showing us how the Red Epic works remind me of Tom Felton?!?!?
That shot of the Sennheiser G3... was the mic clipped to the cameraman's foot? Nice look at the Epic though.
Awesome camera. I'm sure an awesome price too.
Nice I always wanted to shoot from a red epic
I bet you were like a kid in the candy store! Cool!
loved it do Scarlet next!
The touch screen doesn't seem that responsive, I'm kinda surprised.
i'd kill for this camera
Intense...
And I felt all cool with my T3i...
It can if you use an EF mount
very informative vid thanx Dave
wow wow wow wow, just wow
