My current workflow bottleneck is right at the very beginning: converting and previewing RAW files. It is hard to know if I got the shot I needed and it takes quite a bit of time to convert RAW footage to proxies with my current workflow, which uses RAWanizer.

Can people suggest some hardware and/or software changes I can make to improve the speed with which I can preview footage?

I have a Macbook Pro i7 and I'm running OSX and Windows 8 (via Parallels).

Thank you!

Currently, what is the best way to import into Resolve?

I am running both OSX and Windows (via Parallels).

Thus far, the best results I can get are using the Prores 422 HQ generated by raw2dng.

Prores 422 is definitely usable (in fact, it's a big improvement over the original H.264). But it would be great to get Cinema DNG or Prores 4444.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

P.S.: I also want to thank everyone for all the hard work and being helpful to noobs like me.

I've been getting a color shift in QuickTime Pro 7 (Mac) when I convert .tiff files to Prores 422.

The color shift seems to affect all of QuickTime, not just exports/conversions.

It is similar to the following problem.

What are the alternatives to converting batches of .tiff files in QuickTime?

I'm on a Mac.
