Share Your Videos / Music Video (w/ Chroma Key)
August 04, 2013, 06:46:40 PM
So this was my first real project with 5D raw. The colorspace manipulation was amazing (especially in the library shots). I did all of this in AE, so I still need to try round-tripping in an NLE. It was able to handle chroma keying WAY cleaner than any compressed footage.

Share Your Videos / Aerial night shots
August 03, 2013, 05:21:08 AM
Just wanted to share some really beautiful night shots I got in the city the other night. Thanks to the flexibility of the CDNG files I was able to squeeze a TON of information out of the image.

Raw Video / Still have 4gb limit?
July 03, 2013, 09:52:04 PM
So I was under the impression that the 4gb size limit had been solved somehow. I have a 5DMk3 with a 1000x Transcend card. It's formated exFat but the camera still shuts off shortly after reaching the 4gb size (the furthest I've gotten it is a little past 5). Is there any new fix or development to dump multiple files and string them together? I thought formatting to exFat would solve the problem, but it hasn't. Am I missing something?

So I've gotten a pretty solid workflow in place that can be used to make proxies in Resolve, then export to any NLE, then roundtrip files for color grading. I personally use Avid, but this workflow would work with any NLE that you want (Premiere, Final Cut, Lightworks, etc). Here are the steps that I took to make them and two sample videos underneath.

1. Import RAW files and unpack them into CinemaDNG using MagicRaw. This is a free program made by Thomas Worth...here's the forum it's posted on:

2. Once you have your CinemaDNG files in the proper location, bring them into Resolve and create proxies for your NLE of choice. Export your proxies and whatever type of EDL you need (XML, AAF).

3. Bring them into the NLE and edit them, then roundtrip it back to resolve for color grading!

4. After you grade, you send out a second EDL back to the program to link it to the graded master clips. You can repeat steps 3 and 4 as many times as you need till you get your final cut!

It's a little bit of back and forth but using this method works really well for ensuring that all the clips are safely linked between programs. I did it with two videos and didn't have any problems at all. Again, my program is Avid so I promise if you follow the steps in the first video EXACTLY you'll pull it off no problem.

Here's a really good video detailing the step by step process for AVID users.

Two sample videos. I suck at color correction, but I just wanted to show that it works. Also, I have a 5D Mark II so the aliasing on the second video is kind of bad, but it's not because of the workflow:
