RAWanizer - windows batch generation of video files from RAW

[marten]

would it be possible to use RAWanizer as frontend for DANewman´s RAW2GPCF cineform tool ?

With the new patch 0.4.0 (link in first post) you have it. Haven't got the top progress bar to work yet, they are not send out any breaks I can catch

You have to install the software according to the linked message

Also not making any proxy videos right now:

Add the '-v' switch to RAW2GPCF.exe, you should get more console output.

Sorry, I looked at the path for 'tools' on my machine and it was under the 'GoPro' folder. Thought it would all be the same so hardcoded it, but it turns out some installations get a 'Cineform' folder instead. Now, with 0.4.2,  it will check for both and you can also set it manually . I'm also checking if the file actually exists before I try to start processing. It was stupid of me to hardcode it...

[Levinson]

Hi Marten.

If Cineform output is selected, Rawanizer attempts to create a cineform video file even if "No Video" has been selected from the options at the bottom (even though all video options are greyed out). Is that expected behaviour?

Great program so far. Thank you for putting the time into it! Although it wasn't necessary, thank you also for adding the "delete proxy Tiff" option, probably as a result of my earlier question.

Just did a clean install of RAWanizer with the updated .exe, but it failes at creating MP4 proxies:

Just did a clean install of RAWanizer with the updated .exe, but it failes at creating MP4 proxies:

Updated and it doesnt want to make any kind of proxies (prores/mp4/dnxHD ) for me .. :S with the same error code as above

Cineform seems the way to go.. 800MB file vs 40GB of tiffs.

Wonder if he updated the exe to do the new de-banding thing from a1ex. Last night had no more issues with proxies using full install. I have to replace ffmpeg (its a year old, single core 32bit) and try again but stock worked.

I can't reproduce your problem. Could you check if you have any tiff files in the folder specified in the error log? (The line starting with Input #0, image2, from ...)

[marten]

Another idea for the problem. Can you use the default custom setting for video (-r:v {InputVideoFps} -i "{InputVideoName}" -c:v libx264 -b:v 5000k "{OutputVideoName}.mp4")? Still the same error?

[korbendallas1976]

I have the same error as above if I use any of the non-custom video generating option (mp4, xdcam, dnxhd, prores).
Choosing the custom one is OK.

I guess the error on the last line of the log should give some info:
C:\Program: No such file or directory

Some feedback from my test of RAWanizer and RAW2GPCF:

I can create CineForm AVI videos no problem, but Resolve needs MOV. At the command line with RAW2GPCF I can get MOV but not in RAWanizer when I change .avi to .mov in the CineForm parameters box - although RAW2GPCF runs it doesn't produce a file and the RAWanizer batch ends with 'aborted by user'. Any solution?

Rather than just a CineForm parameters text box can it be radio buttons in future for less advanced users?

CineForm Decoder and GoPro Studio give us two Tools directories so make sure RAW2GPCF is in the right one. With only CineForm Decoder installed and the RAW2GPCF.exe placed in the CineForm Tools directory, clips could not be produced. Does RAW2GPCF work with just the CineForm Decoder installed or does it require GoPro Studio?

I'm running Windows 7 in VMWare Fusion within OSX. Tried it in XP - doesn't work, and .NET 4.5 only runs in 7. Would be helpful if the app could be made to work in XP SP3 for those not running 7.

I cannot make a CineForm clip with the Video option selected, only Proxy. I get the TIFF error. This is confusing, can it be changed?

Tiff files are created but then application just turns off.
What could I do?

EDIT: I reinstalled the app, changed ffmpeg with the newest version but no success - still "failed" and no creating proxy movie
I use win7 64bit

EDIT2: newest version 0.3.3 and 0.4.2 patch doesn't work either... 

[marten]

I think I found the problem with ffmpeg failing. In an effort to get mxf to work properly I always include an dummy wav file if original sound is missing. In the installer I forgot to include the dummy wav file... There is a link in first post. Put it in tools subfolder and try. Here is the link https://bitbucket.org/bjurhulta/rawanizer-release/downloads/dummy1s.wav

I should do a new installer but have no time right now, sorry.

I just tested to changed .avi to .mov and I get the file generated as it should. And it opens fine in Vegas, don't have Resolve. Did you keep the quotation marks around the filename ("{OutputVideoName}.mov")? They are needed if file path contains spaces. I cannot reproduce your problem right now.

There is no big reason for me to make a clickable interface to building the parameters, at least not now when I don't know which parameters are "universally" useful to all. Is there a parameter setting that everybody uses?

I do not have anything to do with the installation of cineform and the tool (I have not license to do it), so I cannot control where things end up. RAWanizer tries to guess where it is, but if that fails you can manually set the location of the cineform tool by clicking the 'folder settings' button.

I decided to use .net 4.5 so I could use the new threading options there. I currently do not have time to go over and rewrite the threading with other tools so for now it will require .net 4.5. Sorry.

I understand the confusing thing with cineform and  the video option. I will disable that option for cineform. As described in original post, that option is for making a videofile out of tiffs which has no meaning in cineform workflow. Cineform = Proxy video.

Fixed the MOV problem - my copy of Windows in VMWare didn't have Quicktime Player installed. CineForm needs that in order to do the Quicktime wrapper during transcode. So not a problem with RAWanizer

Great tool, looking forward to see how it develops!

BTW - maybe someone can answer this (I have already told David Newman) - on my Mac the CineForm RAW or 422 gives a flat LOG-like curve when you open the clip in Resolve, Premiere or Quicktime Player, but 444 gives punchier colour and contrast like a DNG in Adobe Camera Raw. Metadata issue?

[marten]

Ok. Yet another try to solve this. Link to full install in first post. I hope it was some missing quotation marks for the audio files. Didn't have spaces in my path to the audio files so mine never failed.

Please report back if this is solved, if you haven't given up on RAWanizer yet Sorry, but I have limited time for testing...

Tool looks wonderful, is there any chance of creating the install as a portable app? As I don't have the admin rights

[pacman829]

Tried the latest version , and everything seems to be working again for me

Thanks MARTEN !

Seems like things are going good

I agree that buttons should be implemented (or maybe sub-menus) once we get a v1.0 so that even the lesser tech savy can use this.

You can try to unzip this package https://bitbucket.org/bjurhulta/rawanizer-release/downloads/RAWanizer.0.4.3.zip
But .net 4.5 runtime needs to be installed on the computer for it to run.

Marten,

I installed this on my win 7 pc.

I choose a RAW file which is 5gig + joined via cmd prompt. This file can be extracted via raw2dng.

When I use RAWanizer v.0.4.3 I choose VIDEO and use Cineform.
After I press START the RAW2GPCF.exe  window pops up with a progress showing, then when it finish I get this
in RAWanizer:

04:13:02 Start Cineform converion from master.RAW
04:14:01 Failed:
Aborted by user
04:14:01 Aborted by user

In the folder that I choose there is NO files generated or extracted also.
Did I miss a procedure?

So what you are saying is that the video file gets created as it should. The only thing is that you get a 'failed' message in the log?
