Another raw test... raw files directly into Premiere.

While the kids were napping I left the gf behind and took off into the woods for an hour. I didn't check my batteries before leaving so I ended up with less material than I wanted to.

Anyways, this is a Canon raw workflow test. I came home with around 67gb worth of raw files. At first I wanted to go the Resolve way, but changed my mind and took the native Canon Raw files straight into Premiere CS6. This is possible because of the Ginger HDR plugin. You don't have to use the plug in, just have it in the folder system.

My conclusion is that ML has come a long way. I don't think post workflow is an issue anymore... when you can deal with native files, then what's the problem?

The things that bugs me at the moment: Lack of sound recording, battery life, card transfer time (47gb took 40 min with FW800), and it wont get any faster because you can't read the cards faster than 100mb/s anyways.

But I'm pleased. You can push and pull the footage a lot more than the .h264 codec.

Detailed description of the workflow and gear on the Vimeo page for the video.

 
Thanks for the test! Did you also edit the RAW properties (via the "edit original" command) or did you only use the Premiere filters?
 
MBP early 2011 2.2ghz i7 16gb 1333mhz ram. All programs located on ssd in main bay. Had the footage on optibay WD Scorpio Black 7200rpm because I didnt have room on the ssd :-)

Im looking into either the Caldigit thunderbolt raid or the velociraptor duo.

In regards to edit original... i didnt, just laid the premiere filters on top.

It makes the mbp sweat a little but got it through. Rendering out to Vimeo 1080 took about 15 minutes.
 
Happy to see the early 2011 MPB works with the raw files

I have similiar config except scorpio black in the MBP only, but I still have difficulty playing the 4K files from the 1DC.
 
Pixels Rawwwrrrr!!!!!

Anyway, I did some accidental colour correcting by having F.lux running, and I have to say that I preferred it with a warm tinge to it.

We had a nice evening here, so I took a quick ride to a near by construction site and played around a bit with iso and raw. The noise that comes with the high isos isn't really that pleasing.

Take a look here and read more details on the vimeo page.

 
The dolly in the woods were actually the Digital Juice Slyder Dolly on a wonky Manfrotto tripod. The 1 metre version is not too heavy to carry around in my opinion... I managed anyways ;)
