ProRes RAW Workflow with the Z CAM E2-S6

Go behind the scenes on our team’s latest video production as they try out the Z CAM E2-S6 with the Atomos Ninja V. Doug shows you his ProRes Raw workflow for both filming and color grading, and he also compares the E2-S6 to the ZCAM E2. Have you used either cinema camera on a film production?

What are your thoughts on the Z CAM E2 or E2-S6?

[joenicklo]

grading in premiere makes me want to vomit....

[JimiJames]

@13:49, BT709 is the incorrect color space-- that is the color space premiere auto selects for clips. it is NOT the correct zlog2/z gamut color space for the raw footage captured by the ninja v using the z cams sensor.

I think it’s important to note, especially to potential buyers) that there is significant hdmi lag when recording with the ninja V (in prores raw only). I own a z cam s6 and love it, but I don’t use pro res raw for that reason. In my opinion if you are shooting prores raw on this camera, it’s best to have a 1st AC who is pulling off witness marks and not the monitor.

Is there any chance you could provide the original RAW footage for us to test with?

I do not work 6K, ON THE INPUT OF THE HDMI ATOMOS. ONLY 4K AND C4K. What can this be related to?

How about ProRes RAW Workflow with the Z CAM E2-S6 in DaVinci Resolve?

[VindaTVads]

Thanks for helping me to knowing Z Can cameras 🎥

[billionaire]

Do you need the monitor to record RAW or can you record directly to the camera?

[СтаниславЛевакин-мл]

Please tell me how to work with Prores RAW (recorded via z-came 2 s 6+ atomos ninja 5) in the Premiere Pro program? Which Lut Should I Use? for Final Cut, you have it on your site, but not for premier.

I love my e2 s6, but you are not completely correct when you state that there is no cropping in any resolutions or frame rates. Once you go over 60p there is indeed a crop, depending on the frame rate and codec, with the exception of HD. It's not a big deal, and honestly still way over what competitors are offering at this price point.

My e2s6 can not trigger the ninja v. I must start/stop recoding via the touchscreen. I tried using several highspeed HDMI 2.0/2.1 cables nothing works. I also have the official LANC cable, still doesnt work. Hope that you can help, thanks in advance!🙏

I have ZCAM E2 F6 FULL FRAME and i want to know why I cant choose prores or zraw as a recording option? I can only chose h264 and h265... any help?

[СтаниславЛевакин-мл]

Which Lut should I use for for ProRes RAW in Premier Pro?

[СтаниславЛевакин-мл]

I have a source-hdmi-4k25 maximum on atomos. What could be the reason?

[JohnPham]

will Convergent O7Q record ZCAM raw output?

[danielnajerabetancourt]

Nice and useful review and quite nice presenter. But just one thing ... That Lens is incorrectly placed!!!

[youcdl]

The leaves at 14:40 are still blown out. I think that this prores RAW thing is a bit overrated...
