Premiere CS6 incorrect gamma with RED footage?

I just switched to CS6 and the imported RED footage I shot are showing up way darker and higher contrast than what was shot. It doesn't seem like the metadata was imported correctly from the original footage. I can adjust through the Source Setting back to what it was but it's a pain. Resolve can correctly read the footage so why can't premiere? Anyone have a solution?

On a related note how do I delete the RDM presets I created in the Source Setting window? Trying to use preset to speed up the process but I can't delete them once i've made them.
 
Check your colour and gamma settings in your Source Settings window. They should be RedColor3 and RedGamma3. If your RED EPIC Importer Premiere plug in is outdated, they'll come in as RedColor2 and look pretty different to how they look in REDCINE-X. If that's the case, follow the instructions here to update your Importer.

I have no idea how to delete the presets, they're probable stored in a folder somewhere. I generally use REDCINE-X to manage RMD presets, myself.
 
Thanks Andrew! I updated the importer and it now properly recognizes the footage. The ones that I've already imported will still have to be reset to the new setting but at least I don't have to manually tweak every shot. Thanks!
