Sheesh, it feels like FCP 7 and dslr cameras! I've read that the trip from cinema dng to editor and back again can be smoothed out by the use of DaVinci Resolve but have yet to test this workflow at all.įor the test I shot out our window with the 5DMarkII. The last step can be annoying as you may need to recolor the raw footage in which case you will also have to re-render an hq video for replacement in premiere. render high quality for final edit in premiere.use adobe raw interface (yay!, what sucks is that you have to reimport the dng files if you want to reuse the adobe raw dialogue).run the newly combined file through raw2dng (this converts the file to cinema dng files).combine files that need to be combined (cat xyz.RAW xyz.R00 xyz.R01 > xyz.RAW on OSX, copy /B xyz.RAW+xyz.R00+xyz.R01 xyz.RAW on Windows).The process is pretty convoluted right now but I imagine it will get smoother. raw2dng for OSX or Windows (this converts the canon raw files to cinemadng).fast cf card, at least a 600x (we have this KOMPUTERBAY 32GB CF 1000X 150MB/s from Amazon and are pretty happy with it).latest raw beta firmware of Magic Lantern.Here's a good post to read if you want to get started with raw on your camera. Now they've stepped up their game and enabled the Canon DSLR's to shoot raw video! Specifically our Canon 5D MarkII can shoot raw! They have added much-needed features to a camera that, while it captures a great image, is annoying to shoot with.

The people over at Magic Lantern are geniuses.
