Well.. let me start by saying that I didn't completely follow Hunter's tutorial way of doing it. After trying to render in AVI's and getting all sorts of problems (Perhaps because I didn't have the codecs installed!), I decided to use the Cineform files as proxies straight out of BATCHelor, then I imported the XML file and for a quick, 10-shot edit it worked. When I imported the full music video, it started giving me all these 'missing scene' messages even though I had my DNG clips named exactly the same as the AVI proxies. It's strange.
So after it couldn't find the one proxy (and didn't give me an option to point manually like After Effects does), it replaced all the cuts with the first clip, followed by the next, and the next.
I've color graded the last two videos in After Effects because I got so discouraged.
I understand your frustration !
I lot of people on this form assume that ever one has knowledge of workflows,
Codec, and Terminology of the industry. And if you are "New" then you can Get very Lost & discouraged .
Because you Just what make the Best possible Video you can!
I Know i use to be one of those people.
OK now down to your problem, from the info you are on a PC,
Do you have a Raid 0 on you system? if you could give some info on
you PC so i Know your limitations and see if there is a simpler way of
implementing this work flow or changing to another workflow.
But in the mean time i run on Both PC & Mac.
I personalty Convert Raw to DNG's on my PC
and conform, edit on my Mac .
I can Set up your PC workflow on my PC and see whats happen
