C300: Canon .RMF to CDNG

[Kantian1]

Hi, Does anyone know how to convert Canon .RMF to CDNG? Can't get any answer from Atoms or Convergent Design whether they support it. Can it be done on a computer with a certain program? Thanks.

No answers on this?

I paid a coder to write a program for me a few years ago- the problem was Adobe didn't recognize the "camera" that generated the cDNG files. I thought cDNG was supposed to be "open" but there must be a technical reason Adobe ACR didn't recognize the file. Could also have been bad programing. I abandoned this as no client was willing to shoot Canon RAW in the first place.

Premiere Pro CC reads .rmf files natively now, but they are a bear for my system to play back. CD's implementation of Canon RAW to Prores is a very practical solution. You can always use the Canon utility to convert- but those DPX files were enormous.

Hi, Do you still have the software by any chance? Thanks.

How exactly does Canon's RAW work? Can I change white balance after the fact? Is it similar to R3D files? Thanks.

I use Adobe DNG Convertor (free program) to convert my Lumix RW2 files to DNG files. Not sure if it works for Canon raw files?

Hi, Yeah, I've tried that. No luck. Thanks.

I think the white balance is baked in.
