9/12/2023 0 Comments Editready v 1![]() ![]() I decided to learn Resolve in May this year and was curious about BRAW so decided to invest in the VA. Until May this year I was using FCPX only and shooting ProRes Raw which works seamlessly in FCP. The ability to adjust WB in post is the main advantage of shooting raw over log on these Nikons in my opinion. I posted a question about that in the Adobe PP forum, thought I'd mention it here too just in case.Ī few thoughts: I have very similar kit (ProRes Raw adapted Z6 + Z6II, NinjaV) with the Blackmagic Video Assist 5” 12G HDR in addition. The Nikon N-Log option is not currently available (it's shown in the Atomos tutorial about this). I'll ask a noob question: Regardless of what software I end up using to read and transcode the ProResRAW files, what would be the best choice of color space for the new files so they can later be edited and graded in Resolve?įor example, in Premiere Pro the ProResRAW Source Settings panel gives me the following Color Space options that look acceptable: In the meantime I'm also coming across a lot of conflicting information about a possible workflow via Premiere Pro. ![]() Still, if it ends up being the best option I may just buy it. Assimilate does seem to facilitate the type of workflow I'm hoping for, although 300 bucks seems pricey for a one-trick pony. I had looked at the Assimilate app before, didn't buy it when Atomos had the promotion. I am now looking further into the different topics raised and will be shooting tests with blown highlights in ProResRaw and ProRes to further assess if all the trouble is worth it to me. I want to thank EVERYONE for your informative and helpful answers. I thank you all in advance for your thoughts! Or alternatively, is there a better workaround to bypass Resolve's frustrating handicap regarding ProRes RAW? What do you all think? Is the potential benefit of such a workflow worth the extra trouble? But I'm curious about the potential benefits of using N-ProResRAW to handle specific situations as described above. None of this is about me wishing to get away with sloppy camerawork, I always use proper technique to the best of my ability and carefully set exposure and WB on set. Imaginary potential advantages: ability to use ProRes RAW codec as needed for better latitude and WB adjustment, specially when shooting in situations with very demanding dynamic range or mixed light sources. ![]() Obvious potential cons for this proposed workflow: switching codecs while shooting extra workflow steps in post duplicate files and additional storage space needed for the larger RAW files. So a workaround could be to first ingest the RAW footage into Premiere, make only basic adjustments to recover highlights and fine tune WB as needed, then export ProResHQ or ProRes 4444 clips with those issues solved but still "flat", and then bring those clips into Resolve for editing and grading along with the rest of the footage shot in ProRes HQ.Īs part of that proposed workflow, one might convert the "corrected" RAW footage to ACES and set up Resolve to work in ACES as well, so everything lives in the same color space. Having fully transitioned to Resolve now, the color grading interface in Premiere feels much less satisfactory and I would rather not use it, but as we all know Resolve does not handle ProRes RAW. Having said that, when shooting in situations with very extreme or unpredictable contrast or WB it may be worthwhile to switch to Nikon ProRes RAW and gain the ability to adjust those parameters in post. I've downloaded the demo version of EditReady, which can transcode any RAW format, but as far as I can see it only transcodes with no ability to do any basic grading, which kind of defeats what I'm trying to do as explained below.įor most of my current work (corporate and documentary) I've been doing just fine outputting 10-bit N-Log from my Z6II and recording on the Ninja using ProRes HQ. I'm editing exclusively in Resolve but still have access to Premiere as well. I already own the Atomos Ninja V and Nikon Z6II with ProRes RAW upgrade, so this post is not about making those purchase decisions. ![]() Hopefully some of you can share your experiences / thoughts. I thought I'd pick your brains regarding Nikon ProRes RAW as recorded on the Atomos Ninja V. ![]()
