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

Don't think there's anything that can "create" R3Ds, other than the camera itself. Unless REDUndead has developed an option? Maybe sending the drive to RED?
