Adding RED files to the Browser takes ages
I’ve just got a project here. I’m right-clicking to Add folders and subfolders into media pool. Resolve starts working, the beach ball is rotating and it just keeps on spinning for tens of minutes. How long should I wait for it to be done? It’s about 1.2TB worth of material. So I guess it’s rather massive for an 8 minute long gig, but still. I’m hoping I won’t have to buy Storm just for this one.

Hi Ola,
Do you have all the files in one folder, or sub-folders? Can you try adding a sub-folder at a time just to test.
If you still have issues, could you please capture logs, and email our support. We’ll take a look at the logs.

Look at the image attached. That gives you the picture of the folder structure. Even unfolding subfolders take quite some time in the Browser.

Hey Ola,
Can you just double check your red decode settings ?
Sometimes if my system is a little slow when opening red files it can be due to the red decode settings being set to full premium etc..
It may not help but it’s just something I’ve noticed before!

Storm is great, but you also could just log and cut with RedCine X.
I always do that for locked edits.
better to load in 100 gig than 1,5 terra.
But yes, Resolve should just work anyway.A slice of color…

Nice one, Dan. That certainly helped. Still got a few folders that takes ages to import.

i have loaded 2TB of material on 2 different (2TB each) project on V8 and it took no more than 2 minutes ….

Hmm.. That’s insanely fast.
If the R3D files are spanned into dozens of files, might that slow it down?
-
If the R3D files are truncated for whatever reason, they take a very long to open as the Red SDK needs to scan through the file to detect the length of the clip. Perhaps this could be causing the problem.
-
One extremely long take maybe, lots of spanned R3Ds, and the camera crashed, making the ingest scan the entire file?
Wait, Reds don’t crash. Nevermind.

From memory (haven’t done it sine V7). If you add the red files at anything other than full res premium you can’t then change it back to full res.
BMD please correct me if I’m wrong!!You need to add it at Full res then once its in your media pool you can downsize it to half res good for better playback. Just make sure before you render you put it back to Full res premium for best quality output.
