Hi folks! Am I the only one who cannot import R3D RAW files into Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015? I Get a "Unsupported or Damaged File" error no matter what I do. All the tutorials I have seen or read all simply click import and its done. Why am I getting this error?

The footage is 4K, 120fps.

Can you properly load and playback this REDCODE footage in RedCineX?

Hey Gary, yes I can. I've so far had no choice but to load the footage into RedCineX-Pro and convert it to 1080p ProRes. Wish I didn't have to do that. The raw footage is in 5K for 25fps and 4K for 120fps and in the edit I have to scale up sometimes to 300% which is looking like crap on the converted clips.

I've started editing thinking that I'll replace my downconverted footage with R3D RAW later - but have no clue how it'll happen. Any help would be highly appreciated!

Did your copy of Premiere CC 2014 lapse back into trial mode perhaps?

Ah, I didn't realize the trial version wouldn't pick up R3D RAW files. The only way is to have a fully functional and updated Premiere Pro CC version?
