  • Red folders open up blank. Can’t read any .R3D media

    Posted by Blake Farber on May 11, 2015 at 9:50 pm

    I have DaVinci 11 and for some reason when I try to open any .R3D file it isnt read just has an empty blank folder. Can use Red X app without a problem. I usually use DaVinci from another computer but for some reason its not working on my home computer (mac). Any recommendations?
    Is there a plugin missing?
    People said that the folder’s permissions is locked but its on read/write so its all unlocked.
    Anything else?

    Thank you!

    Is the drive included as a Scratch Drive (Preferences -> Media Storage)? You may need to highlight the drive in the Resolve Media window and Refresh it in order to see the files. I’m also assuming this is a standard HFS+ Mac-formatted drive.

    Still imbedded in the RDM folder or just the RDC files?
