Anil Rao Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 [i]PhilipBloom.co.uk Think I am already over the raw in the Blackmagic camera. The workflow is so painful. The prores is fantastic though. Super flat![/i] What the word was going to be for most of us anyway right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted September 1, 2012 Administrators Share Posted September 1, 2012 Well afraid I have to disagree with Bloomy here (though he's entitled to choose what works for him of course). DaVinci is the best tool in the world for a raw workflow, in my opinion. Also the workflow isn't painful unless you make it... 1. Drag and drop the DNGs to After Effects. 2. Full recovery on the highlights and shadows for flat image 3. Render queue. 4. High bitrate H.264 or ProRes Grade as normal in Premiere with Fast Color Corrector. What is hard about that? The complexity is there if you delve deeper than that, but H.264 2.5K at 80Mbit still looks better than ProRes 1080p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted September 1, 2012 Administrators Share Posted September 1, 2012 I remember Philip enjoyed 4K raw on the Epic. I don't see why he should be giving up on the Blackmagic raw workflow after only a few days. Certainly not as storage or processor intensive as 4K raw that is for sure! Maybe his cat is in charge of the workflow, and he hasn't been feeding it enough Whiskers :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyman Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 He reversed himself in a subsequent tweet.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted September 1, 2012 Administrators Share Posted September 1, 2012 It is early days yet. People are still working it out for themselves and thinking out loud. If you have seen my twitter feed you will realise Bloom is not alone in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
