    Can some one please build and release a software that actually works with r3d's. Forget all the damn bells and whistles. Quit releasing new whizz-bangs. I want the basic function of cutting and color grading. Without spending days on end trying to make a software do these basic functions. Is this too much to ask?

    I think it may help if you elaborate on your current workflow. What software/hardware are you currently using?

    Assimilate Scratch. It's not cheap but I've been running it for a few weeks now and it hasn't crashed once. Rock solid. Can use my MC Color surface, Wacom tablet (with mouse). No problem and their support is amazing. Received e-mail and phone calls on the weekend to make sure I'm up and running. Awesome stuff.

    A quote that Michael Cioni said during the RED Post course earlier this year was "Most problems you encounter are not technological problems, they are personal problems that are results of poor administrative decisions." To this I ask, WHAT IS your current workflow? I'm not having any problems with Raw R3D or Color anywhere in my workflow.

    RedCineX does exactly what you're asking; clip trimming and first-pass colour correction.

    I've had no issues using PP and RCX. We need more info.

    RCX doesn't work with 1080 25p on a mac in AVID DNX. I still have to use RCX 487 as all of the current version of PRO do not work. This has gone on for ages now and i have 2 epics and have spend a shit load of money with Red and no one cares.

    The error is timecode too long. If you render the r3d's without sound they work. Its when you render the r3d's with sound you get this error.

    Red claim its an Avid problem, I have contacted Avid and they say they how could it be our problem when the RED software doesn't work.

    Hopefully someone doesn't ignore this post as every time I make a thread it gets ignored.

    ...the RED software doesn't work.

    Not sure about anyone else, but, to me, these statements seem obtuse enough as to need more explanation before someone could help...

    I did say that the error i get from using the files is "time code is too long" and i have contacted support and they blame AViD by saying their SDK is faulty. Avid claim that is untrue.

    There are many posts and threads about this
