Fastest way to generate dailies/proxies from 4k cineDNG

[Rolando Guerrieri]

Hi there,

I am testing a 4k CineDNG workflow with the BM Production Camera. Problem is I can't render dailies/proxies fast enough. 

I am using :
- Resolve 12.3
- MacBook Pro retina (2,6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB).
- External USB3 hard drives for storing the media.

Currently I setup Resolve like this:
Project settings > Timeline is set to 3840x2160 UHD resolution
Project settings > Output scaling preset to 1280x720
Resolution in the deliver page is set to 1280x720
--> It takes roughly 8 to 10 times the video's duration to generate an 1280x720 Apple ProRes 422 Proxy

I am applying only some Camera Raw settings and a LUT (BM Production Camera 4k film to Rec709 v2) in the color correction.

With my configuration, is it possible to speed up the process to export small resolution, small quality dailies to review acting that can also be used as proxies to edit ?  

Thanks for this.

Think there's a free program released for use with Magic Lantern DNGs that converts files into video - might be worth a look over on their forum (lots of stickies):

If not, go to BMCUser - they have a workflow section:
