Set ProRes RAW source settings through scripting

[Inspiring_adventures98A1]

Hi,

I'm trying to automate transcodes of ProRes RAW material by using either Premiere or Media Encoder.

Currently, my best option is to use a source effect preset in Premiere to set the source color space and then apply a LUT on export. It is a bit of a manual process though and I'd like to write a script to do it automatically.

The best thing would be to just use Media Encoder and not have to involve Premiere at all, but I can't change source settings of multiple clips at once.

I was looking through the scripting documentation for both Premiere and AME but couldn't find a way to change the source color space.

Am I missing something?

I have added a feature request ticket; we will discuss this with the team. Thanks for your suggestion.

Source settings will not be scriptable as they are provided by third party (e.g. camera vendors providing raw support) which is outside of our control.

You may want to try bulk edits through "Interprete Footage" instead. It also provides color space and LUT support.

I sort of have the same issue. I shoot on a Sony Fx3 (SLOG3 cine) and I really love working in ACEScct, BUT working with that color space and ProRes RAW is not a very smooth experience from the get-go. Manually having to set the source color space from BT709 to Slog3 Cine for every clip, again and again, is very time consuming. It would be super awesome if batch/automation could become a feature!

Please consider trying our ProRes RAW plugin: OCTOPUS RAW Studio. It offers considerably more control over RAW handling and greatly improves workflow. For example we have a sidecar metadata override system which can be used to force all clips in a folder to use a specific color/gamma space.
