The framework ffmpeg can convert multiple .tiff files to .mov format.

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.

I made a post about this back on may 19th, I don't think anyone noticed so I will say it again. http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5404.msg37031#msg37031

As I mentioned before, beginning with ACR 7 and Lightroom 4, Adobe introduced what they call "Process 2012" which has automatic highlight recovery that it applies without user action. Merely loading a DNG, CR2, NEF, or other type of raw file will invoke this automatic highlight recovery that you have no control over, and which I believe has the potential to cause changes in rendering from one from frame to another because it was not designed for video. There is some discussion about process 2012 by still photographers way back in early 2012 when Lightroom 4 was in beta here. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/958989?start=0&tstart=0

I think you can avoid this by using "Process 2010" if anyone would like to test it out. I can't do it myself because I cannot run ML on my 5D3 until it supports firmware 1.21.

P.S. Please don't take this the wrong way but something I have noticed since the beginning of Magic Lantern is that there seems to be a huge disconnect between still shooters and video shooters/ML devs. Things that are common knowledge to raw still shooters, such as process versions in ACR, seem to be unknown in the video and Magic Lantern universe. I am sure there are other examples but I just find this divide interesting.

This is really good to know. Thank you!!

It sounds like switching back and forth between Process 2010/2012 will be the way to handle this.

For those who are wondering where the "Process" options in Lightroom are: in the Develop tab it's under Settings.

I got approximately the following speeds in benchmark tests.

Komputer Bay 1000x 128GB: 73 MB/s write

Lexar 1000x 32GB: 92 MB/s write
