dng to Cinedng without After Effects??

[debrecen]

Hi All -- I'm noo to this and trying to get my first RAW video sample from 650d to see if it's worth it.

Is there any way to convert dng files to something usable without After Effects or Premier? I use Ubuntu 12.10 and also have an old Windows XP build. I have been editing h.264 in kdenlive which works very well for me. I have been reading the workflow posts for many hours, and don't see a way to do it with open source software.

Any way to convert dng's to something I can cut?

Of course you have to go from raw to ProRes directly without dng;s as intermediate

Thanks very much for the response. This might be beyond my abilities to set up but it certainly looks good. I will try it.

Since I am using the t4i/650d I might have a problem with the "pink dot" removal intermediary step? Everything I have seen out of my RAW images is garbage so far.

Sort of halfway works but unless there's a way to go RAW > DNGs > pink dot removal > RAW > .mov ....

A fun exercise for a couple days but far from usable. After all this h.264 looks lovely.
