About R3D Files

A .r3d file is a video file saved in the REDCODE Video (R3D) format, which is widely used in filmmaking and high-end video production to capture footage with extensive color depth, dynamic range, and post-production flexibility. The format is a proprietary high-resolution format developed by RED Digital Cinema that stores raw, compressed video data, preserving maximum image quality while maintaining manageable file sizes.

Introduced alongside RED's digital cinema cameras in 2007, R3D quickly became a standard for professional filmmakers who require high-quality, editable footage for color grading, visual effects, and cinematic workflows. While R3D files offer exceptional image fidelity, most standard media players do not natively support them. However, you can play .r3d files on FileHelper.com by dragging your video file to this page.
