  Romy,

  How did you import them? Drag and drop? Log & Transfer? And which files did you import? There are several sizes of quicktime proxies to work with – or did you bring in the R3D file?

  Also, what is your sequence size? And your audio video settings? Do they all match your source files? Do you have the REDCODE plug-in? Do you have the RED geometry activated in your Kona settings?

  Give us more info, maybe we can help,
  D

  First off, let me say I’ve got a total of one RED project under my belt and I had a lot of bumps. I’ll tell you how I did it and – hopefully – some more savvy folks will chime in.

  There is a file called “RED FCS Whitepaper” that downloads with the installer. it will lay out the Log & Transfer method for working with RED. Thats what I used, and it worked fine.

  There is also another workflow using Clipfinder, a free download, found here:
  https://www.daun.ch/software/
  Including a user manual.

  If you import the file, then you’re working at the size of the quicktime. By “proxy one” do you mean the one labled “_F”? I believe that will be at the size the RED was shot at – either 2k or 4k. Check the clip settings in your browser. Your sequence settings should match. But if you’re trying to play the native RECODE quicktime – even a proxy sizes- it may bog down.

  Look in your Kona preferences under the setup tab and make sure that your RED geometries are active.

  

  Take some time to read the workflows, and the forums on REDUSER.net
  https://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=37314

  The time it takes to read up will more than make up for the time you spend floudering – I speak from experience.

  Hope this helps,
  D
