On a handheld shot in a moving car, camera rig got bumped hard enough to knock the battery out of it's mount while recording a take. Camera shut down. Imported the R3D, made proxies in Red Alert, and the clip plays top to bottom. Except that, whenever I try to play the clip (Red Alert or Clipfinder) I get about 20 seconds of spinning beach ball before playback ensues (Mac OS 10.5.8, latest versions of RedAlert, Clipfinder, QT, Red QT Codec, etc). Camera firmware 20.1.6
I guess the end of the file must be corrupt/incomplete...? I know I can workaround it by rendering out DPX/ProRes/uncompressed/etc, but is there a way, any software, to derive a new, fully intact R3D file from a semi-corrupt/incomplete one, perhaps by shaving off a few frames at the end? Just contemplating the options now that I've encountered this scenario.
Thanks,
Bryan
