Bro! You gotta @ me next time! I just found this a year later! Thank you so much for the shout out! <3 Keep climbing.

Thanks for the video, I noticed a few things you may want to try, I did the resolve colorist training recently but I'm primarily a shooter. I learned so much from that training, mostly about color spaces, the settings within resolve, and how to get the best workflow. I'm not sure if converting from praw to cinema dng affects this but you should still change your raw settings to cinema dng and most importantly change the input color space of the stuff you shot, ie slog 3, if you have davinci color managed on, you should immediately see the slog 3 clips take on 709 look, basically it does most of the work for you then you tweak your color balance, its the "DaVinci color managed" setting here that does this. I noticed this first with working with braw clips but didn't know it was possible with non blackmagic footage until I did the training. It's color managing from your input space to the timeline colorspace, which you have as rec 709 2020 and that's why it the footage is not washed out because you told resolve the color space/gamma, it then applies a tone curve saving you the time of having to balance the log stuff to 709

for run and gun it's too much work. but for shooting a short film, this is a must in my opinion

You should really consider using lossless compression, makes a big difference with the sizes yet it is lossless in terms of quality. Even ARRI has a program to reduce its uncompressed RAW to save drive space.

Your channel came up for me and I needed this specific video 🙏🏼

This is great! I just bought a FX3 and use resolve 18 Lite. So was bummed when I couldn't use the in-camera 10bit 4.2.2 codec AND to find out that I need to buy RAW to convert files—

I bought a SSD to “activate” ProRes Raw, but like you said the files are YUGE, and need Raw which is over $100. I'd probably only use this for future commercial work.

Could you share your current workflow, and settings on the FX3 v4.0. And do you use DVR Studio?

BTW; Sidney is awesome and love the workflow for RAW is In depth, and love your channel and content also!

RESOLVE should have some updates in short future to allow work directly with ProRes RAW.

[kennethgooswit]

It is time Resolve solve the problem, so that one can read prores raw directly

How do you import the ci rma dang to davinci? I just have a bunch of pictures

It looks like you have experience with the Blackmagic video assist and the ninja V. I have seen a few (literally 2) comparisons. I would love to know your views on how both devices compare. Also, fan noise, I keep hearing the ninja V has bad noise while the video assist does not, but nobody covers it in their comparisons! Thank you and keep it up!

Is this a one time payment program like resolve or a term subscription?

[frankinblackpool]

Interesting little episode. I understand that you've had to adapt your Prores Raw footage before Resolve will play nicely with it, however I very much would appreciate your experience on the image quality differences between ProRes Raw and ProRes HQ in Resolve. Are you talking Night and Day differences or is it more subtle in the image quality provided both codecs were shot with the correct White Balance and exposure in camera?

I'm interested to experiment with ProRes Raw on my GH6 and Ninja 5 but I did not think this was possible with Resolve. I'd also seen a few YouTube tutorials that said there wasn't much difference between the Raw footage and the well respected ProRes HQ codecs to make the effort worthwhile.

I just do all this for a hobby rather than doing it for a living.

Cheers

bro is a carnivo, , , your dental formula is shocking. nice video,

[osi]

Thanks dude!
Really good content... so honest so true!!!

[fossmountainfilm]

Very well made video! Right to the point. Just subbed.

[soyGigiCarapia]

What happen ….. you look like a hehehehe

[andrew_nayes]

Great video, very informative and clear! At 3:13 it looks like ISO is greyed out. From my understanding, when importing BRAW you can edit the ISO here. Is the greyed out ISO to do with the CDNG-conversion?

[KaurH]

[3:55] You forgot to select CinemaDNG from the RAW profile dropdown.

Prores Raw Vs Braw is like Jedi vs Sith lol Eventually someone has to go lol

[TheDIYFilmmaker]

Hi mate, one question: does Davinci Resolve support ProRes 4:2:2 natively (without any kind of conversions)?
