Sorry, I can't be of more help than to quote the wiki on that type of file. Possibly one of these can convert to a Pinnacle file once you get it open.
----------------------
Apple's Final Cut Pro can use REDCODE files (via Quicktime reference movies) when the Red QuickTime codecs are installed. Assimilate Scratch was one of the earliest applications to support the raw camera data off the natively generated REDCODE files, and has continued to do so ever since.

Adobe's video products (Premiere and After Effects) have been able to work with the native REDCODE files (.R3D file extension) as of version CS4, and the plug-ins to do so are officially supported by Red.

Sony's video editing product Vegas Pro can natively edit .R3D files as of version 9.0, and allows full access to raw decode metadata with real-time preview.

Autodesk's 2010 releases of Smoke and Flame have a tool, WireTap Central, that converts .R3D files into a native media form. The 2011 releases of Smoke and Flame have native R3D import.

Avid Media Composer v5 has native REDCODE support via AMA (Avid Media Access). AMA allows for the direct linking to the R3D files and immediate editing of the sources. Avid Media Composer also allows direction interaction on a per clip or batch process for the color metadata. RLS, RSX, and RMD files are all supported. The RedRocket card is also supported for accelerated transcoding of the R3D files into Avid DNxHD and other editing codecs.

Avid DS v10.1.1 has native REDCODE import and linking support. Avid also has a tool called MetaFuze that will convert .R3D files into a native Avid MXF files for use in Media Composer and Symphony (v4 and earlier). Media Composer v5 and Symphony v5 have AMA support for REDCODE, allowing for direct editing R3D media. Avid DS and MetaFuze also support use of the RedRocket card.

Eyeon Fusion v6.0 and later includes native .R3D support.

IFX Software's Piranha provides naitive support for .R3D since version 5.2, with no need to transcode internally. The RedRocket card is also supported for accelerated transcoding of the R3D files, facilitating all aspects of the software, including finishing and mastering.

Nuke 5.2v2 (The Foundry) includes updated .R3D support (SDK v2).

Apple's Final Cut Pro X can natively edit .R3D as of version 10.0.6.
