  1. #1 bright vertical line on material 
    It looks like a negative scratch and is totally vertical. Its position is 8% in from left. Two pixels wide bright. The sorrounding pixels left and right of the bright ones are slightly darker. I did not observe this when recording except once, when I then played back the sequence it looked fine. I assumed it was a temporary viewfinder problem. But now, when the job is done, the line is apparent in the following clips. First after changing drive, the line is gone. It is a mess and I now have to zoom in every clip, loosing composition. What has happened?

    I had the same issue few times with build 18, when the camera was under heat stress. After a shutdown & about half hour cooling time, it worked OK.

    Peter, maybe do a new black shading when the camera has been on for a while, to get a hot sensor balance. This is to prevent future problems (if it isn't a hardware fault). Definitely contact Red as per Brent's post. They probably have ways of fixing this at the R3D level to save your shots.

    If that doesn't work however, and the shots are critical, there are software fixes available that can remove scratches etc from shots (designed for real film scratch removal).

    I did a quick fix in Photoshop using dust and scratch removal on your JPG. Not perfect but that's from the compressed JPG file you provided. If you have the RAW 4K image sequence it should be far more accurate, and after removing the scratch and (most likely) downconverting to 1080p, for example, the shot will likely be fine:

    Thanks Paul.
    Maybe I got a tiny bit of hope back.
    I will try Shake to see if I can do some kind of cloning.
    Does anyone have a node for this already?
