5D III Cinema DNG not importing correctly

When I import 5D III cinemadng's into Premiere 7.1, the footage comes in with a weird pink overlay. It's not just a tint shift, but some sort of color distortion. After Effects and Photoshop both read the file just fine via Camera Raw. Is anyone else having this issue or know any solution?

I talked with tech support on the phone and he had me Dropbox him a frame so he could take a look at it. I don't know when I'll hear back or if I will, but it's a start.


The Canon 5D MKIII doesn't make CinemaDNG files, these are specifically from MagicLantern. CinemaDNG is a huge spec, we targeted getting the colours correct from the BlackMagic camera first.

Are you sure it's CinemaDNG?  I don't think DNG used for stills is the same just because you have 24 of them every second.

Yes they are. I've used other conversion programs (Raw2DNG and Son of Batch) that create only normal DNGs. Those cannot be imported into Premiere. The CinemaDNGs I have are created from RareVision's RAWMagic, and they are importing and playing smoothly in Premiere, just with the pink overlay. I've imported Black Magic DNGs and they work fine.

That would suggest the conversion software is doing something wrong.  You're the second user to report an issue using it.
