OMG - hit render - Color ignored grades and reset all rooms - HELP!!!

[Dan Graetz]

hi all,

i've spent the last 3 days grading a 12 minute extended trailer of a RED feature I'm editing. I'm using the RED Log&Transfer workflow so I'm grading the rewrapped native R3D files. I was about 2/3rds of the way through, went to grab some lunch and hit render. When I came back every rendered file looked completely wrong - and when I go into each room the settings are completely reset.

I've had auto-save on the whole time. Is there anyway to recover my grades? Has anyone experienced anything like this before? I've done 3 previous trailers of the same footage and the identical workflow with no issues. I haven't done any relevant software updates since then AFAIK.

Any help would be hugely appreciated - I'm pretty demoralised right about now.

Any possibility that you switched the grade version?

You also can see if you can load the previously saved archives.

i managed to find an archive save from before the render issue occurred. looks like the problem is coming from some 16:9 shots in the timeline. the Hong Kong unit of the film got the camera settings wrong on some pickups - I was hoping I could reframe them in the geometry room of Color - but looks like I'll have to do a separate project for all the 16:9 stuff.

thanks for the reply. the main thing is I've got my grades back which is a HUGE relief

I think I've seen it happened, too.
