I’m considering doing the same with Quicktime as a rule. AE just doesn’t seem to like decoding R3Ds, especially when comps start to get complicated. What I’ve been doing is getting the R3D clips into AE via FCP/Redcine-X or Premiere, using rd_PreCompose to pre comp each shot to either the length of the trimmed R3D or it’s edited length (FCP/RCX or PP, respectively) and then generating DPX or TIFF sequences to do the actual work with (can also be generated in RCX).
Nope, I never did find a solution to this, but I have effectively given up on trying to work with R3Ds in After Effects, which, in a way, solves the issue 🙂

It seems there should be a way at the Finder level to tell OSX “Here’s an R3D, use this icon always”.įYI, updating the icon manually and then restarting AE does update the icon for the clips that have been changed, as seen here:ĮDIT: I should also add that it’s simple enough to search the entire system for every R3D file and use option+CMD+i to paste the icon onto every R3D file, but this isn’t something one should have to do. I’ve tried associating the R3D file type to open with Redcine-X, but this doesn’t work either. I’ve tried Candybar, but that is only slightly easier than copy and pasting in the info panel in OSX. It would really help me out to have a way of visually differentiating this specific file type. Right now, the icon for R3D material looks very similar to nulls, adjustment layers and white solids, all of which I use all the time in the VFX comps I create. It may seem trivial, but it would really facilitate organization in AE.

The Red icon appears on the Windows system I use at work, but every OSX system I’ve been on in the past 12 months has the blank document icon instead of the Red icon.
I can go through using CMD+i to change file icons in Finder, but this is tedious and slow and I’d like to figure out a way to have all R3Ds brought into the system to have the correct Red icon. They also show up blank in After Effects, as seen here in the timeline: Right now on my system, and specifically in AE, R3D files show up as blank document icons, as seen here: After searching high and low for a solution to this, I’m at my wit’s end.
