Premier Pro .r3d files do not scale in Program monitor on windows xp
If you cue to 10:01 in the following link https://tv.adobe.com/watch/davtechtable/using-the-red-camera-raw-and-cs4 it will show you how to manipulate source settings on .r3d files on a mac-based machine, which also makes global changes in how the timeline interprets the footage. This, in turn, sizes source footage correctly in the program monitor after editing. I’m doing some initial testing of .r3d files on a xp based machine, and the source footage after editing does NOT scale the footage at all unless you resize it manually in the program monitor. The source settings have a completely different dialog than what appears on the mac – more gamma curves and color correction workspace kind of stuff. It doesn’t have the option to scale footage. Does anyone out there have a windows 7 machine and an .r3d file they could try this on? I’m wondering if this issue is platform based.

You shouldn’t need to mess with the RED file source settings at all. Premiere is always going from the original RED source, and will resize from within the program, depending upon how you set up your sequence and if you right-click “scale to framesize” on your clips.
We probably need a little more information, but if your sequence is set up correctly, the first thing I’d check is whether or not your Program Monitor is set to “fit” in the size/zoom drop down (magnification). That’s really the only setting other that’s going to change the size of what you see. If it is set to fit, and you click “scale to framesize” in your right-click menu from any clip in your RED formatted sequence, it should show correctly.
You should also be running the RED plug-in on CS4.1 (I realize this could be a stupid statement, but better to cover all bases than overlook the obvious).

Note that you can set “scale to frame size” in your preferences menu, so you don’t have to click it for each clip each time you bring one in. You can also select multiple clips (i.e. all the clips in a sequence) and do the “scale to frame size” in one right-click command.
