Then press the 'Apply settings to all clips' button (the little button just above the Media Tab). Once you have defined the settings for your first clip you can apply these settings to all your clips on the timeline: select the first clip, scroll to the end of the timeline and select the last clip while holding the Shift key. Put a checkmark next to Highlight Recovery These are the settings for exporting with a BMD DNG flat cine look: You can do a first color correction and export, you can leave the clips as they were shot, you can apply a Rec 709 (video) color space to them, or any LUTs you ay have in your setup, or you can export the ProRes files with a flat cinema gamma giving you a lot of headroom for true color correction in FCP X. Now you can define the look of your conformed clips. Select a clip in the Timeline and click the Raw button (4th button lower right). Make a new Timeline, your clips will appear in the Timeline. Select All Clips in the Browser and drag the selection into the Media Pool. In the Library: browse to the DNG sequences folder and open it. In Master Project Settings: make sure your Project matches the size and frame rate of your Canon clips. Launch Resolve Lite and create a new Project. If you export high-quality ProRes (422HQ or higher), and especially if you use the new ProRes 4444 XQ format, you will have more than sufficient pixel information to do excellent color correction and finishing right inside FCP X.

And even then it pretty much depends on your final delivery format. You export the DNG files to a lower quality ProRes format for editing in FCP X and you bring back the edit into Resolve for grading and finishing.įor most productions there is absolutely no need at all to use the raw media for grading, unless you work with extremely high-end raw files from Arri, RED, BMD or an FS700 raw recorder.

You export the DNG files to a high quality ProRes format for editing and finalizing the video in FCP X.Ģ. This will be done using Resolve, and here you have two options:ġ. Correct and/or export the DNG sequences to ProRes. Choose a folder to store your DNG image sequences and press OK.Ĭ. Set Convert Model to 'Autodetect' and press Convert. Launch the app and select Add Files to add the raw files to the convert window, or just draw the files right from your 'Raw Files' folder into the window. Convert the raw clips to DNG image sequences. Make sure to make an extra security backup of this folder before you erase the card!ī. Copy the raw footage from your card onto a 'Raw Files' folder on your Mac. I haven't worked with raw DNG for awhile, but this is the workflow I used with Resolve 9: This will convert the raw ML clips to DNG image sequences, which you can import in Resolve for raw grading or first light corrections, or just for exporting ProRes 4444 or 4444 XQ files for FCP X. The only little app you will need to add is RawMagic by Rarevision: /us/app/rawmagic/id856514119?mt=12 You have about everything you need to quickly convert raw DNG to a high-quality format than can be handled by FCP X. You absolutely don't need Premiere, AE or Photoshop to do this, in fact I would absolutely advise against using these apps for handling raw DNG because their workflow is much too slow.

Magic Lantern is a RAW video recording modification for Canon HDSLRs that allows the recording of RAW video, just like with much more expensive cameras designed for professional cinematography.Working with Magic Lantern raw footage has always been a bit troublesome, but it's perfectly workable these days. You can edit your footage in native CinemaDNG, then export to a color correction app like DaVinci Resolve for final grading. RAWMagic converts MLV and RAW files to CinemaDNG sequences that can be edited directly with popular non-linear editing programs like DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere CC without any additional steps. RAWMagic is the professional cinematographer's number one choice for MLV and RAW video conversion when shooting with Magic Lantern-equipped Canon DSLRs. *** NOTE: FOOTAGE RECORDED AT 10 OR 12 BIT CANNOT BE PROCESSED AT THIS TIME.
