Hi Everyone:

just wanted to share our latest project shot entirely on Canon 5D2 RAW:

https://vimeo.com/159639969

Lenses used: Canon 50 1.4, 24-105, 28-70 2.8; Rokinon 35, 85; Sigma 20 1.8 
Encoded with MLVProducer and MLVMystic
Edited in Premiere Pro
Graded in Davinci Resolve 12 (Koji and VisionColor M31 LUTs)
Animation Compositing in After Effects
Motion Tracking and Rotoscoping (iPad scene) in Mocha

Please check it out and let me know what you think! Very grateful to you all for your kind assistance, this was our first film shot in RAW, but we look forward to doing many more.

Cheers,

Hello:
I'm using the alpha build 1944 and am having a problem playing back the output in Resolve 12. Instead of the DNG sequence playing back smoothly, I get a single static frame. Exporting the clip doesn't make a difference, it just stays as a freeze-frame. I believe it has something to do with the DNG metadata, specifically the clip's Start and End Timecode.

The reason I suspect this is because the exact same MLV file, when converted to DNG using MLV Mystic, plays back just fine. I would probably just stick with MLV Mystic, but the problem is it gives me all these ugly green artifacts in the clipped highlights. In the attached screenshots, you'll see that the MLV Mystic DNG starts at 00:00:00:00, while the MLV Producer DNG starts at 219:28:53:00.

This may have absolutely nothing to do with MLV Producer, as I have the exact same problem with cDNG files produced out of raw2cdng, but maybe someone here can give me some pointers.
Thanks.

I went through a lot of different websites, blogs and youtube tutorials to figure out how it could be done without reverting back to Premiere CS6.5 (which worked as it should with the XMLs). Finally I found this...

Even though I am using a PC it worked perfectly. Now my workflow is RAW MLV files from a 7D, convert to DNGs with MLVMystic, import DNGs into Resolve and make smaller sized proxies for editing in Premiere CC, then follow the rest of the tutorial in the link above to relink to the RAW DNGs for color grading, even with the reel names missing in Premiere's XML file.

I appreciate the link. I'm also using PC, so am curious what format you used for your smaller-sized proxies. Windows can't export to Prores 422 Proxy, so what is the best alternative?

Thanks a lot.
