Color problem with Premiere Pro CS4 and native r3d files

[Artaz]

Hello everyone !

I'm working on a video shot on Red One Mysterium-X using Premiere Pro CS 4 and native r3d files with Red plug-in.

Everything works great except that I have a big problem with the colors.

When I look at the r3d files in RedCine-X, the color looks fine. But when it's in Premiere Pro, there is a huge yellowish tint that I can't solve by using the source settings (i've tried every color space)

Does anybody know where the problem is ?

Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english ;-)

Unfortunately the problem is that CS4 doesn't support the newer M-X color rendition. It stopped at build 20 colour space support (for the original Mysterium sensor).

If you can't afford to update to CS5 right now, do your edit in CS4 disregarding the way the colours look, then grab the 30 day demo of CS5 and update it to 5.02, then open your completed project from CS4 and do final colouring there.

In the long run though, CS5 runs rings around CS4 so it's really worth the upgrade price! (as you'll see when you run the demo version)
