Frequently asked questions
What RED users need to know.
These answers are written conservatively so you can publish now and tighten the exact technical details as the app is finalized.
How does the 14-day free trial work?
Download and install R3Duce to use the full app free for 14 days. No credit card is required to begin the trial.
Does R3Duce replace my original .R3D files?
No. R3Duce is designed to create optimized working media from your RED camera originals. Your source files should remain safely archived as your masters.
What type of files does R3Duce create?
R3Duce creates Apple ProRes media based on the output option you choose. Add your exact supported codecs here before launch.
Do I need RED software installed?
Yes. R3Duce uses RED's processing tools through REDline / REDCINE-X, so the required RED software needs to be available on your Mac.
Can I use the converted files outside of Final Cut Pro?
Yes. R3Duce is centered on RED-to-ProRes conversion, so the generated media can fit into any post-production workflow that supports the ProRes files you choose.
Will my file sizes always be smaller?
Output size depends on the source footage, RED compression settings, resolution, duration, and the ProRes codec selected. R3Duce gives you a practical optimized-media workflow rather than promising one fixed reduction percentage.
Reduce the friction—not the creative possibilities.
Turn demanding RED camera originals into organized, edit-ready ProRes media with a workflow built specifically for RED users.
