about the r3d looping bug of Color
- Color can read frames only from the first piece of a spanned r3d media when the r3d is referenced by a quicktime movie (quicktime _M, _H, _F coming from the Red).
- The solution is to change the settings of the shot in Color so that is uses directly the R3D media, and not a Quicktime movie.
- Credits : I used ColorFixer to understand how to workaround the problem. ColorFixer gives credit to Nick Shaw for the technique.
