Duplicate Files ( Clips )

[Charles Bergquist]

Just wanted to see if anyone else is running into this or if it's something I'm overlooking ( something obvious ).

I've been shooting my Epic for about a month now, prior to that I had a Scarlet for a couple weeks. I ran into this with both cameras. When pulling the files off the mag through Finder, I'm getting duplicate and sometimes triple or quadruple clips. Same file name with 001 then 002 then 003. The files are exactly the same size, exactly the same image. They will be located in the same folder as the clip. It's not HDRx because those files are wrapped together, so is this a setting I have or a way I'm bringing things in that's making a full duplicate clip? Also, this doesn't happen on every clip, only on 6 - 8 clips at random on a 64GB mag. I've got a rotation of 5 mags, so I know it's not the specific SSD either.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I've noticed this too.

I'm pretty sure you are talking about multiple R3D files. A clip is ALL the R3D files within a single .rdc folder. The R3D's are the raw data, DO NOT DELETE THEM unless you want to lose your footage. The camera separates them every 4.29GB. Opening any of them in Redcine will open the same clip as they are all part of the same clip.

All correct, except Red One/MX records in 2GB chunks.

Thanks for the response Eric!

Charles: what Eric said is correct. We have to split up the clip in multiple files if it gets too big because of the file system we use on the media. You should treat the RDC folder as the clip. It may contain various files (beyond the RAW R3D data) that belong to the clip, such as overriding looks in a sidecar RMD file.

Wow, I was wondering this for months now. I thought I was somehow
waisting valuable space. Strange how each clip plays the entire folder. I get it now - thanks!

Beautiful answers! I was also a wonderer!
