Can Red do single frame?

[roxics]

Just curious, can it do single frame (1p) shooting for stop motion animation?

id assume so

1-60fps... and single frame.

Cool I'm sure the people over at stopmotionanimation.com are going to love this thing. Right now a lot of them are trying to rig digital SLR's for that type of work because of their high resolution and interchangeable lenses. Kind of like how the movie Corpse Bride was shot with some Canon DSLR's.

But the downfall to using a DSLR (I've tried it myself once (http://www.scapefilms.com/stopmo300dtest.wmv)) is:

1. They're typically only solid for so many frames (say 100,000) then the mirror mechanism might start to fail since they aren't built for that kind of shooting. Or so I'm told.

2. There is no live video feed which is nice for framing on an external monitor. So some people are rigging up lipstick cameras to DSLR viewfinders for that type of thing. But it's not the same as you can guess.

3. Once you transfer still frames to the computer you have to sequence them in a program. Which depending on the program isn't difficult, but just another unecessary step a proper video codec could solve.

I'm sure animators would love this camera. If you could somehow throw in an option for at least one layer of transparency adjustable onion skinning they could see their last frame over their current live feed to check their character movements. This could probably just be done with the cameras software right?

Hey it would be another selling point to the camera and open it up to another market of filmmakers. Since it can already do 1-60p anyway. :)

Is it definitely 60 fps max.? Or maybe 4k@60fps, 2k@120 fps, etc.?
