weapon Proress issues.

[Björn Benckert]

I have a client that has been ot shooting r3d + proves LT 1920 with our weapon.

Some of the files are not liked by premiere / premiere will not import and show error message.
I quicktime they open fine, in flame they open fine.

Is it something I missed is it a compatibility issue between these progress files and adobe? I think I read someplace that Scarlet files was not liked by premiere. But now I did not find that thread.

Any hints would be helpful the client is of course pissed as hell and now we need to help him render all his material from the r3d´s.

So just to clearify its not all files just some.

there was another post here on RU about an issue with premiere and the prores files. - they said it was a premiere bug. - not that that will help much.

It look like a finder copy would make the trick (drag and make a copy). Read the other thread.

Yes apparently thats it, thanks. files need double dipping on drives before premiere likes them.. odd can not understand how that works.

with last firmware?
I've also had the same, but with the first firmware.For now with the latest build I had no problems.

I used media encoder for files that do not work.

but apparently you just need to move them.

Any one else having issues opening R3D's inside of FCPX? I know its a little off topic, but FCPX does open the Pro Res files fine from Weapon, but no R3Ds.

Sounds like they haven't updated the importer with the latest SDK. Email them.

Will do thanks Phil!

I had a similar issue with my Weapon recently. I actually started a thread and we came to the conclusion that a simple finder copy will allow it to import into premiere. This is a problem with the premiere importer not a problem with the camera but since a copy and paste of the file in finder fixes the problem it leaves us to believe that RED could also encode their files the way Finder does to fix the problem if Adobe does' get around to it. Now we just have to wait in Adobe to push an update out for this, or to see if RED updates this in their firmware.

Sort of on topic...ish question. When recording raw and prores at the same time, all files are put into the same clip folder ie. R3d, .mov,.rmd... Which is good, but is there some way to have the prores files in a separate folder on the mag? SO you would end up with your R3D and meta files in one folder and Prores in another. I can see maybe a slowdown in the transfer if my producer wants just the prores files and the end of the day for offline. Hand plucking all the .mov's out of each take and moving just them will be a pain. Am i missing something? Or have I even explained my issue successfully? ha

Thanks in advance

Use finder search for mov in your folder where you dumped the mags... viola all the quicktimes listed and you can just grab them and dump them on a seperate folder.

The move files trick only works randomly.... so we tried flat pass all prores files in resolve... But, these files did cause resolve to crash randomly and repeatedly. Seams like Premiere is not the only one that has problems with Weapon prores files.

Is this known?

Bjorn,
Yes that would work but only after I dumped the mags. My thought is it may help to be able to take the mag and download just the .mov's to one drive while moving the raw etc. to another. Often I am up against a time deadline like a producer getting on the redeye who wants a drive with just the .mov's for their offline the next morning. I guess its not a big deal but I did think it might be handy to have the .mov's live in a separate folder on the mag. maybe i'm the only one. Thanks for your response just the same

Aha. yes your right geting the mov files of the mag is possibly not that tricky but if you then only want the r3ds to a different place the search createria gets a bit more complicated.
