Ah ok.. strange tho as when i try to open them it just says there is no video or audio present. I will try again. I was not aware that the word proxy would always be there.

Thanks for the reply I am kinda loosing hair over getting these raw files into a video format! ;-)

Thanks for the awesome software once I get my head around this and can generate a ProRes444 or equivelant file that will work in Premiere I will be soo happy!

They shouldn't be empty. Have you tried the simple mp4 preset? Is that empty as well?

In version 0.6.1 there is no option for converting to Video all I can get it proxy files. I keep getting the error: No video sequence folder found... Sorry if I am doing something noob!

You are free to choose the quality of the proxy files. So it's up to you if you want to consider them proxies or final video. The file name will always contain .proxy though.

Marten,

Just tested  ver. 0.6.1

Bravo! Thank you for fixing that. Now resolve can see the folders!

You can also choose to put all dngs in the same target folder, that way you don't have to change folders in resolve to see all clips.

Hi Marten,

Hope you can fix the folder naming for the output files so resolve can see them.
We are finishing a FREE guide to using the ML raw video http://www.dvxuser.com/guides/ml_raw_guide_5DIII_full.pdf

Its still not finished and in the post processing part for windows, I'm recommending RAWanizer as one of the apps to use for merging split files and dng extraction.
Its just that, for this version, I had to place in the cons list that the folder names has to be manually changed for it to be seen in resolve.


Thanks in advance,

Uploaded ver 0.6.1. Should name -dng instead of .dng

Can't wait to test V0.6.0!!!  I've been using 0.5.5 for over a month and it's been great!  Definitely the best workflow around (edit proxies quickly, then replace with DNG sequences for final grade and output).  Keep up the good work.

Thanks, glad it's useful for someone

Once I've converted my raw files to dngs
And have gone in edited the dngs in ACR
How do I get RAWanizer to make that into a .mov?

I must be using the wrong settings because I only end up creating tiffs and a proxy mov from dngs
These both do not have the edits that have occurred in ACR- it is just the original look of the dngs pre edit

Have I selected the wrong folders or not clicked the right buttons- please help

Please read the original post, but notice that the name of processing options have changed. To extract the dng to use in ACR, select 'only extract dng from raw'. Then when you have exported the tiffs from ACR into the 'tiff' subfolder, use the processing option 'make video from output of external dng converter' to make the video file.

Hi, I just installed the new version. It still had files loaded up on the screen that I converted from the previous install. I clicked delete files from disk to remove them from the window and I just realised that it may have actually removed the files from my hard disk, is this right? I can still see the spanned files but not the original raw file.

Thanks

'Delete files from disk' does what it says, deletes the files from disk. It also asks for confirmation if you are sure you want to permanently delete the files. So don't use it if you don't want to delete the files from disk.

There might be a bug when the files are spanned though.

Helo guys! when using rawanizer I noticed that there is some sort of auto exposure thing going on with the prores proxies, I can't use them because they flicker... any ideas? my footage are fine (tested on a diferent workflow)

The only thing that can affect this is your settings for dcraw. Use the default or remove the entire string with develop settings and see if you still have flicker.

Perhaps I missed something obvious, but I am experiencing an issue, where my DNGs seemingly come out with lossy compression even though I choose "lossless".
Jut ran a 132GB batch over night and most of the DNG's came out around 800-900kb and not the ~2.5mb that I'd expect, resulting in an output of ~33GB  any thoughts?

RAWanizer do not compress anything and there is no option to choose 'lossless'. Are you using BATCHelor? Then you are in the wrong thread asking the question.

[Error CLR : 8000-4005The application will close]

Hello

Impossible to open the application...
I get this error message after installation, when I double clic in the icon :

Error CLR : 8000-4005
The application will close

Could you help me ?

Are yuu running windows xp? (RAWanizer cannot run on XP) If you run win 7 or later, try reinstalling .net framwork ver 4.5 from microsoft.

just tested 0.6.0 and dngs still cannot be opend with RESOLVE.

Ok. I have been on vacation for some weeks and have not really followed the progress of ML lately. So what is required to do with the RAW file to get it to open in resolve? I just assumed that using the latest raw2dng would be enough. Downloaded from link in this post http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5404.0

How do you get rawanizer to process dng from several clips to one subfolder so that you can set up a directory to the media pool in resolve so you dont have to choose folders for your clips one by one.

I have made an option on the file tab to put all dng in same folder. But I can't test if it's behaving correctly because I don't have a computer with good enough graphics card to run Resolve

Marten,

Since Black Magic Resolve now supports DNGs from ML raw, I tested the extracts from Jul 2 build of raw2dng.exe and found out that the DNGs using drag n drop can now indeed be opened by resolve, however, the ones extracted from Rawanizer CAN'T be opened.

Can you make modifications to include the compatibility of the extracted files to be opened in resolve?

Thanks Ted

I have included the latest raw2dng in 0.6.0 which should work. I don't have a computer with good enough graphics card so I can't test this in Resolve though

Marten,

I want to convert RAW->DNG (via RAWanizer)
                  DNG->TIF (including color editing)  via Lightroom
                 
Then I "REally want to convert this "TIF" (not TIFF ) into MOV file.
                 
However, all I can do is just press start button and see "error message".


What's the problem?


What I did was...
1. changing file names from .TIF to .TIFF
2. Making tiff subfolder in DNG folder RAWanizer made when I convert RAW to DNG.
3. put .TIFF files into the tiff folder I made above.
4. pressing "start" button in RAWanizer clicking "RAW files" "DNG folders" "Watch folder" "Auto TS"


I tried ver. 0.3.3, 0.4.2, 0.5, 0.55. but the results are the same.

On the processing tab, did you check 'make video from output of external converter'?

I tried to install several times Rawanizer, wishing to test the suggested workflow (also installed Lightworks)but regardless the version I always ger error message:not a valid win 32 app.   I run win xp  
Any idea? needs xp64 or newer OS to run?

Thanks

RAWanizer requires .NET 4.5 which doesn't work on xp.

Marten,

Using 5.5 I notice a problem with spanned shots.

1. scenario one, running rawanizer with source from CF card.
If I have a spanned file on the CF card it will fail in merge. Non spanned clips are ok, they will be extracted to a folder on my computer and the RAW clips Moved from CF to Hard disk. The spanned file will not be merged and extracted only the *.RAW file will be moved to hard disk but the *.R00/*.R01/etc. will remain in CF card.

2.scenario two, running rawanizer with source from folder in hard drive.
If i have 2 or more spanned clips in the que. Only one spanned clip will be successfully merged and extracted.
I delete the finished raw clips and leaving the unprocessed spanned clips, start rawanizer again and in second run its successful.

With the 0.6.0 version I hope I fixed scenario two.

Is there a setting I am missing or something I am doing wrong?

Ok. I will have a look at it. My job is currently taking all my time so I have little time left for RAWanizer 

Hey Marten!

I hear that with RawMagic on Mac OS, you can select which camera you shot on and it will write the correct camera name into the metadata of the DNG's so you can use all the camera calibration options within ACR/Lightroom. Is that something that might find it's way into your ass kicking Rawanizer?

If I have this wrong then appologies. I only assume that this data is supposed to be written after and not during recording. I'm using a 6D and don't get any of those options of course this also means I can't use the custom profiles from people like VisionColor etc either.

Cheers bud! Great work 

RAWanizer is currently just a batch tool using other command line tools. So if those tools do not write metadata RAWanizer will not. Currently I have no plans to make this something else than just a batch tool.

Nice App Marten. Works Seamless with the raw files right from the camera.  When I try to use "Make video from output of external dng converter", it gives error msg.  I have no spaces in the file name and created sub "tiff" folder within the dng folder.  Any Clue what I'm doing wrong? I use the same file structure the app creates when converting the org raw.  Funny thing is if I delete the video created from the raw process, select "dng folders" option at the top and change the "proxytiff" folder to just 'tiff" it recreates the video with no problem, but with outside dng file folders not created by this app it doesn't like for some reason.  Hope that makes sense.

According to the log, ffmpeg can't find any files matching the path you see at the bottom. Can you verify that you have files matching that pattern. The file name of the first file should be DNG002-000000.tiff, second DNG002-000001.tiff

Which version of RAWanizer are you running?

What am I doing wrong if I try the cineform export-option and get a really noisy image that even is worse than the in-camere h264?  Looks like really high iso noise, but its not
Doesnt look like raw to me at all.

Other modes work fine.

For cineform the all conversion is handled by the cineform tool. Try asking you question here http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5479.200

I'm getting the same error as everyone else beforehand.

What's happening here? How do I prevent this?

As it states in the known issues in original post (easy to miss, I understand): Does not work with spaces in the file names. I think this is your problem.

Sooooo I accidentally deleted the DNxHD option and now I cannot get it back. Is there any way of retrieving it (ver 0.5.4)? :-(

In version 0.5.5 there is a button on the file settings tab to restore default presets.

Would it be possible to add a checkbox for deleting DNG after proxy creation? Sorry to just ask and expect 
Btw I converted 32GB of footage without issue on my laptop. It just stopped on the few last clips when my HDD was full haha

Added in new version 0.5.5 (link in first post)

Sooooo I accidentally deleted the DNxHD option and now I cannot get it back. Is there any way of retrieving it (ver 0.5.4)? :-(

You can delete the user.config files found in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\RAWanizer folder. That should bring back all defaults, but you'll loose all your other settings.

Or you can take this string and paste it to a new setting:
-threads 8 -r {InputVideoFps} -i "{InputVideoName}" -i "{InputAudioName}" -vcodec dnxhd -b 185M {ScaleTo1920x1080} -r {InputVideoFps} {Parameters} "{OutputVideoName}.mov"

I did not test this for data loss over 16bit tiff but that's something I will do!

If you set dcraw settings to 16-bit the tiff files will be 16-bit for sure. But I don't know for sure if ffmeg/ffmbc handles them correctly, but I hope so.
