Additional Notes:
- While REDLogFilm is the recommended gamma curve for Netflix content, there may be technical or artistic reasons to choose a different curve. Always consult with the Netflix post-production team for specific guidance.
- RED cameras offer various recording options within REDCODE RAW, including different compression ratios and recording formats. Netflix recommends using the highest quality settings possible, such as REDCODE RAW (8:1).
- For anamorphic capture with RED cameras, Netflix recommends using the “anamorphic squeeze” setting in the camera menu. This will ensure that the footage is properly formatted for Netflix’s post-production workflow.
