Jeroen de Cloe Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hey, I'm really happy with my new Pocket Cinema camera. It's refreshing to see RAW and Prores footage. Hard to go back to my GH2 now, even with the smaller sensor size. Anyway I was wondering to witch codec I should export footage in Resolve, to have FCPX treat my footage as RAW. I prefer to color it inside FCPX and FilmConvert plugin, bypassing Resolve as much as possible (even avoid roundtripping with proxy footage). If I'm correct I should not use a regular code such as ProRes because it 'destroys' the RAW process. Thanks!!! ps: I hope FCPX will support compressed DNGs in the December update. earnesync 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurtinMinorKey Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Honestly, i think you'll get the best results using ProRes 444. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeroen de Cloe Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Thanks! I guess it will bake in white balance and such? Seems a good compromise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurtinMinorKey Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 You'll still be able to make adjustments to white balance, but you'll lose a bit of freedom. I suggest doing a rough color balance and exposure adjustment in Resolve (applying it to all similar clips using the appropriate button in the raw tab), and then exporting to ProRes. This way you get the best of both worlds. Jeroen de Cloe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
