If none of the above are possible or problematic, then being able to watch the footage shot that day on the set while still on the set, would be very helpful.
With regards to playback of RAW footage on set, is it possible to load Da Vinci on a laptop and watch the native RAW files directly from a card reader or similar workaround?
We love the look of RAW but would love it more if a reliable, decent monitoring solution could be found - it would be a real Godsend for us here in the midst of a low light horror feature, where gremlins abound and Santa Clause waits patiently somewhere in the 5D chimney.
With only 2 posts under your belt, I'd venture to guess that you haven't done a whole lot of reading around these forums. I also have no idea about what you mean by "5D Santa Clause."
The key to successfully shooting in ML raw in a demanding situation is twofold, good monitoring on the set and a capable and knowledgeable DIT. Shooting anything of substance with ML raw without a good DIT on set is a very frustrating experience IMHO.
Regarding good monitoring, I'm talking about a monitor large enough to provide a clear view while also providing much needed focus peaking and zebras.
About the DIT, I mean someone who really knows the tools available such as the excellent MLRawViever and who can provide on set playback quickly and efficiently while also getting a jump on the time consuming conversion process.
