  • Coloring RAW R3d RED files in Divinci Rosolve….Destructive????

    Posted by Mark Davis on February 26, 2013 at 10:11 pm

    I’ve only bought in RAW r3d RED files to the media pool and imported my AAF from Avid, (transcoded folder taken out of the source media) so I know I’m color grading 5k footage.

    I wanted to ask you guys to make sure….when I color and save on Divinci the process won’t be destructive to the RAW RED files??? I think that’s true, but what about when I render out???

    Always good to double check these thing with people more experienced than myself.

    Hi Mark,

    You’re correct in thinking that Resolve will not make any changes to the .R3D files, including when you render.

    The output files will not be .R3D and the color will be destructively baked into those, but the process is read-only for your source media.
