um, however... I'm not seeing any way to manipulate the raw R3D file prior to the RGB conversion (eg. setting color temperature and equivalent ISO rating). I wonder how should one handle that when working with R3D files, or is that something Vegas simply can't do?

EDIT: Nevermind, just didn't read the directions :-). Right-click clip in Project Media (media bin) and select "File Format Properties" to get "R3D Decode Properties".

go to your project media tab and right click on the r3d files, then select "file format properties" and you can set everything from within there.

Ok, so far so good, but is there a way to copy the metadata from one clip to another? I see how you can select a group and set them all at the same time, but it would be convenient to simply copy the metadata properties from one clip and apply to selected other clips. (Maybe it's already there and I just didn't see it?)

Does it import Red media from cards? or Disk whatever realy, retaining directory information etc from all clips?

Thanks
Seems fast..

How do I get maximum quality on a low resolution output? When I render a .R3D file to low-res MP4 selecting "best quality", the render runs too quickly for this CPU to possibly have done the full-res debayer from the raw file. Going to 640x360 Mainconcept AVC (*.mp4) I am seeing rendering at about 10 frames per second. Visually, the video quality of the mp4 is not as good as I expect.

4k still frames exported from best/full preview look fine. Obviously, during my render the program is extracting only a low-res proxy and using that, given the modest computer I'm testing with:

Dell Optiplex 755
Intel Core2 Duo CPU
