You guys working on a "RAW to Log Conversion" option/field in the source settings? Nikon Z6 Prores RAW footage going through the Ninja V still has messed up color science. I mean, look at those reds! And we need a logarithmic starting point (similar to what we get when importing the same Prores HQ NLog footage on the Ninja V). Thanks for all the work you guys are doing!Prores HQ NLog from Ninja V (Nikon Z6 source)Prores RAW HQ from Ninja V (Nikon Z6 source)

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the info and the sample clip you posted. We are actively investigating issue with ProRes RAW and Nikon/ NinjaV incorrect color.

Best,

Martie

Having the same issue here, blown out exposure and oversaturated colors, especially reds, despite everything looking correct on the scopes when recorded (Nikon Z6 via Ninja V, ProRes RAW). Thanks for working this issue.

[Ryan Sauvé]

You should be able to recover highlights through the "Source Settings" screen (first need to "Disable Masterclips Effect" to access it). The problem we're left now is with crap colour science because Adobe is missing the RAW to Log transform for this footage (waiting 3 weeks without an update now). Hope they can provide an update or at least show progress in some way * cough RAW to Log transform field in Source Settings cough*.

I mean, a temporary workaround/placeholder (S-Log3/S-Gamut3) shouldn't take that long to implement while they figure out the proper debayer/transform with Nikon. So frustrating sometimes and this is coming from someone who used to manage a software development support hub. More transparency Adobe peeps.

Been a month. Got an update ? Seriously man.

[bosk_2016]

It claims that proress Raw files are "Unknown compression type"

[MartieB]

Hello bosk_2016

I will contact you directly about this issue.

Best,

Martie

Hello-

I have the latest 14.2.0 (build 5) and I am also getting this "Unknown compression type" error. I have downloaded and installed the Apple driver ProRes RAW Decoder , rebooted my computer and have all of the system requirements met. Am I missing something? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi there I imported some prores raw footage to premiere and i encounter this error. I thought you guys added support for this codec on the latest beta version. Is there something im doing wrong on my end?

[Patrick_J__Palmer]

Hi Mangual,

we currently have it available in private beta - subject to change shortly!

I'll post to this thread once we have a public build that has it.

Stay tuned

[Patrick_J__Palmer]

And now it's here 🙂

Well, I followed the above instructions. And downloaded the BETA decoder to test it out. No luck on my end. I even updated my Premiere Pro CC to 14.0.1. And restarted my computer. Thoughts? My rig: i7-8700 | Nvidia 1080TI | 32 RAM | NVME Main Drive. Recording to an Atomos Inferno. Tested both ProResRAW and ProResRAW HQ.

[Bruce Bullis]

14.0.1 is a little old; could you confirm the PPro version, from the About box?

[MVARay]

Oh Sorry ... I just did the update and read that number. Now that I got into Premiere and clicked the About. Its ver 14.0.4 (Build 18)

[Bruce Bullis]

That's the official release version of PPro, not the Beta version (which contains ProRes RAW support).

Manish/Patrick, perhaps you could provide some guidance? 

[MVARay]

OH I see ... I didnt realize there was a separate BETA Premiere Pro running around ... Thanks.

[MVARay]

So I guess we can't get a link for the Beta version ... would be nice to test this out. Considering most of us are just home and hanging out. these days 🙂

[MVARay]

Update ... I found it in my CreativeCloud ... thanks. Woot.

[Arden_Shibley]

I don't see the Premiere Pro (Beta) 14.2.0.1 in Creative Cloud. I also don't have a beta option in Creative Cloud.

Any tips for getting this installed? 

MacOS 10.14.5, Creative Cloud is up to date.

Thanks! 

[MartieB]

Hi Arden,

I will reach out to you directly and get you set up for Beta.

Best,

Martie

[martindelly]

Hi Martie,
I would also be glad to access Premiere Beta to edit my Z6 raw files.
Using MacOs 10.15.3 / CC up to date as well.
Thanks, Martin

[MartieB]

Hi Martin,

I'll reach out to you and we can make that happen. 

Thanks,

Martie
