Medial Pool RED .R3D File Issue
Hoping someone else has run into this and has a fix that I’m just overlooking.
I’m having difficulty getting Resolve to recognize and add ALL the .R3D files contained in a folder and its subfolders that I want to add to the media pool (resolve is adding about half of the .r3d’s and overlooking the other half for some reason).
Essentially when I’m in the browse tab and I right-click on a folder that I want to add to the media pool (with the “add folder and subfolders” command), Resolve will parse through all the folders and add only 50-60% of the .r3d files contained in the subfolders beneath it to the media pool. (important note here – I have not altered the .rdc file directory for the shot at all, they all have the containing folder with original .rdc name and inside that is the .r3d file and all the proxies as originally named by the camera).
To make things even more frustrating, when I try to add them to the media pool individually after the fact, Resolve doesn’t even see them in the browse window any more (it sees the .rdc folder,but not the .r3d file inside it)… very annoying. I end up having to restart resolve for the browse tab to see the missing .r3d files. If I use the “add folders and subfolders” command again, Resolve does the same thing and may find another couple .r3d files that it missed before, but otherwise still misses about 40% of them, and then they dissappear from the browse window again forcing me to restart resolve to try again.
Anyone have any ideas on this. I do a lot of conforms from final cut prores offlines back to red raw for color correction and this issue is going to cost me a lot of time, hoping its just something dumb on my end and not a bug in how resolve searches the directory structures of red files. Below is an example of the directory tree I’m using as well as my hardware config.

Hi Chris:
Sounds like the problem I had, supposedly a soon-to-be-fixed bug. Temporary solution in this thread:

Ahh, thanks Kevin (and Rohit), the de-bug code did the trick! read all the .r3d directories just fine. I did notice significant loss of playback speed of the .r3d files after entering the code as Rohit had mentioned, so I saved the project with the new conform links to the media pool intact, took out the debug code and restarted. Everything links up fine and plays back in real time at quarter res good debayer. Excellent. Thanks!
