I don't know how you got 200GB for 5 mins 2K on RED, it's more like 1GB per minute at 24p, so 120 should be around 5 GB, so way better than CinemaDNG.
And it couldn't be otherwise, or REDCINE raw compression wouldn't be so famous!

Five minute edit. Total amount of shooting was closer to 40-45 minutes. Our figures are the same.

So 2K at 24FPS would be like 40GB per 5 min?

And people are complaining

More like per 7 or 8 minutes. Definitely comparable.

Ideally, yes - if you spent the time to light the scene to prevent blown out windows, you could extend the dynamic range. But I could do that with any camera.

I don't want to come across like I'm hating on the 50D - it's just 200 gigs for a two minute short film is outrageous. The short film I'm in post-production with would have taken at least 10 terabytes of space. That adds up.

People can talk about how great of a bargain the 50D is, but someone can find a great deal on a high-quality car engine - but you still need to buy the rest of the car for it to actually be functional - and those accessories bloat the actual cost.

Shot a short on the MKIII Raw and even with the original .RAW files in combination with CDNGs and graded ProRes 4444 of every shot I only have a single terabyte. That's 17 minutes of edited footage and probably about 2 hours of raw footage.

The biggest advantage creatively with RAW is being forced to shoot like celluloid. We slated everything, got only the shots on the shot lists, and got stellar on location audio. My scripty noted the good takes so in the edit, it flew. Very feasible for creative work.

@1% a 5 minute non performance based music video took up around 200 GBs from the RED ONE in 2k at 120fps.

It doesn't stay open and does no conversion.

VM or wine or (parallels?) it was made on win7 x64 but should be ok on any windows environment..

Any reason why I'd get a console window in Windows when trying to convert? Sorry for all the questions.

You're a potential lifesaver. Anyway to run this in the Mac environment? Or fix my CR2?

Dying for a fix here. Very integral shots that need to be processed. Or if there's a way to deinterlace without processing ISOs that would be fine too. I just need the shots. Thanks so much.

Here's a problematic CR2.

As soon as I get home, I'll upload a CR2.

Any idea on the previous shot I posted? The log states something about bad black delta. Only on a few takes from a short this weekend that utilized a higher ISO spread.

Any idea why my DNGs out of cr2hdr look like this for some shots?

Resolve has 2x anamorphic settings. If you need 1.33x, 1.5x or 1.7x you can do it in ACR or Raw Therapee.

Thanks Andy. Your post and my edit were seconds apart!

Any tips here for desqueezing DNGs before pulling them into Resolve? Or possibly desqueezing in Resolve 10? This would make anamorphic much easier.

Edit: Should've googled. For future reference: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/277/19768#19782

How clunky is RawTherapee in processing shots? The most I would be doing is creating a flat profile and rendering to tiff or dpx.

A few posts (pages?) back: your camera is overheating.

Whoa. Wild. Cures?

Also, interesting issue. I've been having an issue with one card it seems. While recording long spans, the shutter speed will change. Not only this but when converting the RAW files to CDNGs in RAWMagic, the frame rate is recognized as 21.978. What gives?

Full BTS is up.

Converted to CDNGs through RAWMagic. Graded with the BMD film preset. Payed attention to skin tones in terms of color.

For the slight glow on skin tone I created a new node, then used a qualifier to select the skin tones (HSL qualifier), I upped the blur on the qualifier so I could get a bit of bleed on the edges. I then increased the luma curve right around the mid high point and added some blur to it. Usually, I'll maximize the effect to a ridiculous level and tone it down to where I want it using the Gain function in the key tab.

I love that skin tone!
Workflow? Adobe or DaVinci?
Noise is added in post?
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

Joined the raw spanned files in terminal, then through RAWMagic, then Davinci. Since it was BTS and I wasn't sure what I was going to edit as it's BTS I graded it all. Edited in Premiere. Grain is from Gorilla Grain.

Skin tones: I softened the entirety of the mid to high range and overexposed for the skintones. Nice bloomy, soft look.

Newest Fstoppers piece. Entirely 50D excluding aerial stuff. Full BTS going up now.

I seem to be having issue on the July 16 build on one of my 2 KomputerBay cards. Midway through a recording, the shutter speed will drop from 1/48 to 1/84. I have FPS override on and at exact framerate for 23.976.

Very nice.. like the grit you put in it (grain, and scratches)

Thank you. Gorilla Grain is killer.

Cool aerial! What flying rig is that?

Don't know too much about it besides that it's a cine star 8

GH2 and 50D teaser for a Fstoppers BTS. GH2 was only the aerial shot.

goldenchild, I take my words back and now have full agreement with your point. I tested ACR against DV Resolve specifically in terms of moire and aliasing -- ACR ROCKS!

UPDATE: a very noobish question: when importing the cDNG sequence to After Effects, is there a waу to see another than the first frame, and make adjustments against it? thnx

Is there any available format to export from AE that will allow me to utilize the defringing benefits of ACR but still grade in DaVinci with all of the RAW camera options?

Looks beautiful! Literally, lol. If you don't mind, when you post the vid, could you describe your workflow? Your images look very smooth and detailed. I always have to de-noise in ACR. And it looks like you're starting with a Log image too?

Will do. I'm not doing ACR at all. Straight RAWMagic into DaVinci with this defringing trick. http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=6845.0
