Mac M1 problem with R3D Files

[Carlos Gott]

UPDATE, Not just with files in my NAS... no matter where are located, Finder and REDCINE-X crash every single time I make a click over the 3rd files.


I recently bought a M1 Mini Mac, but I have some issues with finder and RED CineX-Pro working with all R3D files stored in my Synology NAS, No matter if the files from a Helium, Epic, Scarlet, Komodo even RED One. With a click on the file, the preview thumbnail remain wit a spinning circle for a while, and Finder goes NOT RESPONDING, for a few minutes (sometimes around 10 minutes), after that Finder returns functional but if I do double click in any R3D file, REDCINE-X takes another several minutes for open, after that I can play the file more or less fine (at a reduced resolution).
I have another computers with different specs, (MacPro, Windows 10, even a Hackintosh) on the same network and no one but Mac M1 Mini have any kind of issue wit that type of files.

Any ideas what's happening? some one have a issue like this?

I know that model of Mac is not suited for a fluid edit workflow with RED files, but I bought it thinking that I can use it for ingest, an manage files, but if it can't even do that, i'll have to forget about Macs.

A fairly common problem with OS updates, occasionally hardware as well, is thumbnail previewing is literally the last thing on the list that gets tended to. I'd report this to Apple Support as it's probably their side in this case.

Oddly not RED exclusive, this has been an ongoing thing for over a decade.

M1 Max here and REDCINE-X 55 or 60.0.21(beta) are really buggy and crash every time I set a heavy curve.

Mounting SSD has also been a waiting time (like 1 minute or more).

Hope it will be resolved soon.

Hey Pat, strange, SSD mount is basically instant on my M1 Max MBP16 with both Sandisk Extreme V2 and LaCie Rugged SSD Pro TB3 SSDs.
