Give ProRes Raw control over White-Balance, ISO and tint in raw controls as well as log conversion. Then it will be useable.

Ideally, RAW support with White Balance and ISO across the board would be spectacular. Lack-luster Sony RAW continues to aggravate, but now with Prores Raw on the market as a viable alternative, Adobe users NEED full support for this codec. We all pay PER MONTH for the use of the software - we expect it to keep up with evolving codecs at the very least. BE COMPETITIVE ADOBE.

Hi all,

I'm a product manager in the video team at Adobe and I've recently become the product manager specifically responsible for formats.

My apologies that we have not responded already to this post. ProRes RAW is definitely important to us - and, more specifically, the additional controls that are being ask for here.

Raw support is very important to us, particularly as it becomes more common thanks to devices like the Ninja V and cameras that support it directly like the Nikon Z9.

Currently, there are two raw formats ahead of ProRes RAW in terms of urgency for us to support better. I understand that might be frustrating to people eager for better ProRes RAW support but I want ensure you all that it's not a matter of indifference or neglect.

While I don't have a date for improved ProRes RAW support that I'm willing to share at this point, I will update this note when that changes.

Lastly, I'm alway happy to talk 1:1 with you about our formats support. It's critically important to us and getting your feedback directly is always welcome.

Regards,

Fergus

Where would you go? I don't thnk Resolve works with ProRes RAW at all, so I'm assuming Avid?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Thanks Fergus- in addition to your Facebook comments I appreciate you going to bat for PreRes Raw.

The importance of these new raw formats to the industry is huge- bigger than Adobe seems to recognize. I can see creatives like myself either leaving the Adobe ecosphere or committing further into it depending on how new tech is adopted and where the best workflow will be.

As a conceptual artist ProRes Raw opens a world of possibilities that are now only available for large, time and resource consuming productions. Give us a chance to showcase this on Adobe!

Lastly, please include compatibility with Fuji's latest codecs coming from the XH2S.

Thanks for the support!

Hi Fergus, thanks for the honest info. Another half year has passed by, so I was wondering, if you now had a better idea about when these updates to ProRes RAW would materialise?

As a little addendum, it'd be great, if you could improve the ProRes RAW implementation in After Effects a little, because it currently is very clunky and even if you did add all of the requested features (Kelvin, tint and ISO control), I wouldn't want to have to dive into the Interpret Footage sub menu every single time to make changes.

Is there a way to make changes to ProRes RAW more immediate? That'd be great.

I am strongly thinking about switching to Finalcut pro as this feature is way overdue and there is no official report stating it will come anytime soon.
Stability is also something to wish for.

Check the social Media pages Adobe. More people are changing to other editing software at the moment.
You are losing customers.

Hi Fergus,
When can we use ISO and WB controls for ProRes RAW on Premiere ? I hope for some support on Premiere 2023.

Hi Fergus,
may I ask if you've got some learnings from implementing other RAW features in the past, that could give us an Idea how long it may take to get the prores raw controls?
