Premiere CS5.5 Issue: Source Monitor Not Working for R3Ds

[Doug Beatty]

Here's a head scratcher: Ever since I updated to the new color science, I'm unable to load clips from my bin into the Source Monitor to trim or mark, both R3Ds and audio.

The only way I can get anything up is to drag an audio file into my timeline and then double click. Sadly, the same thing cannot be said for R3Ds, as they only appear on the Program Monitor.

This is crippling, since I have to weigh waiting forever to transcode vs. endless migraines of working around the problem.

I'm on a 12 Core w/ OSX 10.6.7 and 24GB RAM. Things were working fine a month ago, now- not so much.

Please help!

Does it make a difference Doug if you change their metadata in RedCine-X to RedColor/RedGamma 2 and save that to the RMD before importing?

 

[Doug Beatty]

Silly as it sounds, I haven't tried that. I would assume someone would have run into that by now if it were the case.

If it makes any difference, my cut imported into Resolve just fine w/ RC3 tagged in the RMD.

I just had a look at some RG3 shot footage in my version of Premiere and it appeared to worked perfectly in the source monitor (it just defaulted back to RC2 by default). I'm on Windows here - are you on Mac your side? Perhaps it could be a bug with the Mac version... - though we would need others to confirm.

Yup, I'm on OSX 10.6.7 with a legit copy of CS5.5 Production Premium. Another note is that I have RCX open with the magazine loaded into a project.

I'm working with a GTX 285 hooked into dual DVI monitors. I initially had my program monitor full screened on my 2nd monitor. Tried resetting the workspace, closing and re-opening and that did not help.

Does older footage shot on RC2 import and work in the source monitor correctly?

 

[Doug Beatty]

It's a bug! you can't have RCX open with Premiere. I'm on 5.5.2 and RCX 11. Updating to 12 now- hoping it will fix it. It would be nice, but if not, no biggie.

Good to know! Will tuck that away in the knowledge bank. Thanks for working it out for any other RedUsers Doug
