Adding RED files to the Browser takes ages

[Mikhail Puzyrev]

from my humble experience it happens in case of red qt previews points to nonexistent or truncated R3D file. it happened with me when I copied tons of footage using terminal command cp, with no checking instead of finder drag and drop.

what I did is dragged and dropped the whole folder with red footage to clipfinder and quickly arrow down all clips. those which didn’t show picture and start showing color wheel are bad – restore them from source disks.
