R3D, short for REDCODE RAW, is a proprietary multimedia audio/video file format owned by Red Digital Cinema Camera Company. It is usually used as native recording format of Red digital cameras, which features lossy compression for video contents and lossless for audio contents.

The REDCODE R3D is only compatible with the higher version of the following applications including Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere/After Effects, Sony Vegas Pro, Avid Media Composer, Avid DS, Eyeon Fusion, Piranha, and Nuke.
