Expanding on my previous post about exif metadata, most, if not all, video/image editing programs claim to be able to interpret exif/xmp data but it seems like there are so many exif tags for most of the current digital cinema cameras that our poor little ML Raw files aren't supported very well.
ACR does a great job of adding and interpreting exif, so my idea was to open the mounted .dng's in Bridge ACR, make my adjustments, save the exif/xmp to the images and then import into Resolve or FCPX to skip the transcoding and get the best Raw processing possible. Bridge wouldn't write new exif/xmp to the images or the camera raw database for some reason (parsing error), so is there another way to go about this? I looked into .MXF files but haven't tried them yet.
On another note, Black Magic is developing a CDNG wrapper so that quicktime plays the files natively, hopefully that's something we can have implemented as well.
