So for an assignment for my music video production class, I had to plan, shoot, and edit a video in 2 weeks for any song. I decided to try out RAW video for this. This was my first time making a real video in RAW and I love how the quality came out. Hope you guys enjoy!

And if someone could tell me how to make it so it actually shows the video and not the link, that'd be great. Sorry, just new to forums

So I've been messing around a lot and doing a lot of research on RAW Video shooting and I finally figured out a workflow that I like. I decided to go out to this park near my house and shoot around. Everything is handheld and too shaky so sorry about that. I can't wait to shoot an actual project on RAW.

Enjoy!

So I've decided that I'm going to take a bit of a risk for me and shoot a short film entirely in RAW with my 5Dmarkii. I'm shooting in around 2 months, so I'm just trying to make sure I learn as much as I can before doing this.

So before when I would just record on my 5D, I would render things out in Prores 422 for when I needed lossless files. Now that I'm working with RAW, should I change that? I'm thinking of rendering things out as Prores 4444 instead. Would that be a better idea? I know the file size is larger so it means less compression, but is it worth it do you think?

Also, I see that everything says 14-bit RAW Video. This has to do a bit with my current workflow. So right now, I'm converting the RAW files to DNG's > opening in After Effects and using ACR in AE > Rendering out the clips as Prores files. The question is, in After Effects, should I be working in 8-bit? Should I go ahead and change that to 16-bit/will that make any sort of noticeable difference?

Thanks for any help you guys. This film is going to be premiered at the end of the year at my school on a big screen so I want the quality to be the best that it possibly can be. I know I'm just being super anal with all of these details, but I might as well know.

Hey guys, I didn't know where else to ask this so I thought I would just make a thread here. Please move this or delete if I should post this somewhere else.

So this is how my workflow works right now. I put the RAW files into raw2dng, then open the dng sequences in After Effects. I get to this point.



Is there any way to see the other frames in the sequence and not just the first one? The reason being, there are times when I can't tell how to make adjustments for the clip just based on the first frame. I remember seeing a tutorial once and a person opens ACR in Photoshop and they're able to see the other frames on the left side, but I tried clicking around and looking for something like that in AE, but I can't find it. How do you guys tend to do it? Thanks for the help.
