Metadata changes in Lightroom are not reflected in Premiere Pro CC

[Keyo]

Hello everyone. I am having trouble with my current workflow. I am shooting RAW with a Canon 7d using Magic Lantern. I use raw2cdng to transform the mlv(raw) files to cdng. I then use lightroom to color correct my DNG files. I use lightroom to save the new metadata info to my files. Those changes that I make are reflected in file explorer, but when I import the files to Premiere Pro using the MediaBrowser the color corrections that I made in lightroom are not being shown. What am I doing wrong? Why is Premiere Pro not reading my metadata info correctly? I appreciate all of your help.4

Premiere has a different importer from acr which is used in lightroom.. You csn export lightroom changes in adobe after effects to ProRes for example and import theses clips to premiere.

Ok. I was wondering why so many ML workflows passed through after effects. So I want to take the DNGs from lightroom, import them into after effects, then export them as prores to use with Premiere Pro? I have never used After Effects, I have it with my Creative Cloud Subscription but never found the need. So I am not to familiar with the program. Thank you very much for the help, I was just now playing with it hoping I could find a solution.

Could you please point me into the direction on what exactly I need to search in order to learn what to do for this workflow? I am searching for the ProRes codec option when exporting in After Effects but I am not finding it.

Actually you really shouldn't use AE/ACR at all. It is incredibly slow, causes flicker and was not intended for video. I've started using speed grade. There's a steep learning curve, but it really has the tools you need to do video raw properly. On my 2012 MacBook Air I can preview in (almost) realtime. With AE/ACR I get less than 1fps at 1/4 resolution! The same is true of render times.

My current workflow is: MLRawViewer => SG <> PP

The other option is Resolve which might be a little more mature and user friendly than SG, but I get SG with my CC subscription and I like how well it integrates with PP

Quick one. How good is highlight recovery in speedgrade compared to both davinci and adobe camera raw? Never tried speedgrade.

I will definitily be checking out SpeedGrade. I've messed around with it about a year ago, but that was with only 8gb of ram, 1 5400rpm HD, and a "Trial"  version of the software that didn't play along so well. Im now up to 16gb of ram, a couple of SSDs, a subscription to the software, and RAW footage to grade! I've become very familiar with Lightroom using it to edit my raw stills, I was hoping that i could use it to edit my raw footage, but its looking that I will have to let that go to be more efficient in my workflow.

Does MLRawViewer convert MLV files to RAW? If so, how does it compare to Raw2CDNG?

Linda makes a cool tutorial. You can find a lot of their videos on youtube and around the web. They have a five hour tutorial called "Up and Running with SpeedGrade CC" http://www.lynda.com/SpeedGrade-tutorials/Up-Running-SpeedGrade-CC/137897-2.html
