Red V-Raptor MQ vs HQ

Flame Tools and Tech

I’ve worked with LQ footage before and found it pretty blech. We may need to shoot at 120 which would necessitate shooting MQ which I have never knowingly worked with. Anyone have any feedback on the quality level for blue screen/keying work?

Specs seem to indicate that it is closer to LQ than HQ:

  • HQ - High data rate - Up to ~ 280 MB/s (~30 minutes recording time)*
  • MQ - Medium data rate (default) - ~175 MB/s (~48 minutes recording time)*
  • LQ - Lowest data rate - ~110 MB/s (~1 hour and 17 minutes recording time)*

No idea. But last shoot kinda sort like this I had I was shitting myself on keying 800 fips Phantom .cines. And it keyed fine.

If Phantom keys fine, then you’d think MQ would be fine too. Right? Ish?
