Depending on what you are doing with the Red files it's sometimes better to render it out as an image sequence, say 16 bit tiffs or something similar so you computer isn't doing the debayer for every frame while you are working with it. I find the only reasonable explanation for sticking with the R3D data is so you can get at the raw data at the initial stages should there be under exposure, over exposure, etc. You can find detail that would otherwise be lost, but really after that, why not convert it to a more AE friendly format.

Wow, working with 5k HD Red footage in CS5.5 is REALLY painful.

Has this been improved in CS6? 

It must be the RED decoding that is taking the time as I use 5k plates from our 3d guys without this issue at all.

I did a simple garbage matte / Primate key and resize and it is saying 2.5 hours to render a 10 second clip.

Plus the machine is really un-responsive....

This is on an 8 core Xeon with 16GB RAM running CS5.5

Any idea?

Thanks

Phil
