Source Settings is now greyed out for every new r3d clips imported

At some point, I am now unable to import a new r3d clip (new and old project) with Source Settings not greyed out. Reinstalling REDCINE-X did not fix. Reboot did not fix.

Previously imported clips have clickable Source Settings. A same clip re-imported will also have option greyed out.

Issue was not existent on Premiere Pro CC 2015 yesterday...

    For any R3D clip (or other format that used to have Source Settings) imported into CC 2015, the settings functionality has moved to Master Clip Effects. If you import a CC 2014 project with R3D clip, then Source Settings will be enabled in the Project panel.

    Snippet from help doc:

    Source Settings available in the Effect Controls panel

    For RED, ARRI, CinemaDNG, DPX, and Sony F65 media files, you can adjust Source Settings by using the Master tab in the Effect Controls panel. Previously, Source Settings were available from a modal dialog.

    Adobe needs to fix this! Worst update ever! I can't get those source settings back even trying the things suggested in this post. I can't work on my R3D clips at all. Blows my mind how bad this last update has effected the work flow. Also having trouble with crashes since the last update. Fix the problems Adobe, not the things that work.

    I'm assuming the folks who decided to take away the "Source Settings" from the timeline, as well as the ability to effect multiple clips at once, do not edit R3D files on a daily basis, or have ever edited R3D files ever.   The Source Settings feature was never broke in the first place.  If you could access Master Effects from the timeline, and effect multiple highlighted clips that would be great.  However, taking the old "Source Settings" feature away slows down workflow tremendously.  Does Adobe know when an update to all of these issues will be ready?

    Adobe pelase change this back to the way it was in CC 2014 or at least add a realtime update to the viewer, as it is completely guess and check without any visual feedback when changing a value. This has increased my correction time at least 5x.

    Wait...looks like you can turn off the Master Effects tab and THEN access source settings the normal way. Still...kinda of a hassle.

    I'm really confused by this. I used to right-click on a clip in a sequence, and then have source settings right there in the menu. But now I don't.

    You're saying I can "access source settings the normal way" if I turn off the Master Effects tab? How do I do that?

    If I right-click on a clip in the project window, then the source settings pop up, but not when the clip is in a sequence. Is there any way I can change that?

    Also, changing the .r3d's options through master effects takes about x5 as long to see a change in the timeline. You change white-balance...wait...wait...wait...there it is. In the past it brought up that second window and things went very smoothly.

    Please bring that option back.

    yes having the same. Takes much more longer now!  Have the last few days quite objectively measured and the update has now slowed my workflow to 115min per day.

    Need the presets option immediately adobe. I am having to manually change every clip in my timeline and pray I don't miss something.

    I reach the settings only by reveal in project and right click on the file in the project panel. These are 2 more steps. I wish there was a shortcut! Shortcuts are the most professional way to speed up your workflow a lot. Premiere has so less shortcuts in contrast to all the other programs. Please add an option to create shortcuts or create shortcuts that i can use my Logitech G13 much more! In Ae it works pretty fine.
