RED Scarlet and Apple Final Cut Studio 3 to be released at NAB?
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009Being a So. Cal man, the closeness of Red headquarters finally got the best of me and I made a trip to Lake Forest, CA in hopes to get first-hand looks at the goings-ons.
After all, Jim Jannard stated yesterday (http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?p=396316#post396316) that new developments for the Scarlet and the Epic were afoot and some of the details would be released at the Red User NAB party (http://www.redusernab.info/).
While I was there I stumbled upon a few secrets….
Those of you familiar with my blog and relationship with Ted from Red will understand how I was able to pierce the veil of secrecy, so tightly wrapped around the RED compound.
I’ll just cut to the chase:
First was that RED was working very closely with Apple on a new codec that would blow ProRes and Redcode out of the water and that that codec would be included in Final Cut Pro 7, the major component to Final Cut Studio 3.
Next, while there has been much talk about Apple and RED dis’ing NAB, they were both going to be in LV. RED to be at the REDUSER Party and Apple at the Final Cut Pro User Group, where each company would unveil their much anticipated products.
As you may have deduced by now, I wasn’t supposed to come across this information and a chase soon ensued. I don’t know why all of my dreams worth remembering include chase scenes but they always do. With a quickened heart pulse, I awoke and realized that not only was I dreaming but that it was also…
April Fool’s Day!!!!
