Final Cut 11’s new media engine is NOT stable with Nikon R3D.NE


I have had consistent issues with my R3D.NE files. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Eventually FCP will show my clips as red saying Missing Plugin, then I close out and re-open and Missing Plugin is gone. I have:


  • Downloaded RED Apple Workflow Installer
  • Updated my Mac Studio
  • Updated FCP
  • Deleted FCP and redownloaded
  • Deleted RED Apple Workflow Installer and redownloaded
  • Imported the files with a different card reader
  • Imported the files to a different drive
  • Held option + command when I open up FCP
  • Deleted generated files
  • Used a different CFexpress Type B card
  • Re-formatted those new cards and uploaded new files


I have literally done everything and still get issues with my R3D.NE files. The files are not corrupt because Red Cine X opens them just fine. Davinci Resolve opens all files just fine. Also I shoot on a RED KOMODO and everything works fine so it's something specifically with R3D.NE in Final Cut Pro.


Please help fix this!


Mac Studio, macOS 26.1
