Import Adobe DNG to premiere pro

I shot a series of timelapse raw pictures and converted them to DNG files using Adobe DNG converter.

 

The exported dngs can be imported to Davinci Resolve for editing but Adobe's very own Premiere Pro 2022 can't recognize them or import them. Is there any luck I can import these raw files to PR?

 

I attached one photo as example if any one want to test it out in PR or Davinci.

 

patch 1: It looks like the converted DNG is not DNG enough to be recognized....

Premiere has never actually worked with DNG files, those were a photoshop "stills" thing as far as  the Adobe video people were concerned.

 

So if you have DNG still images, you need to export them from Lightroom or Photoshop as jpgs, tiffs, or png files.

PSD files are natively supported in PPro, so if you export them as PSDs (consider doing this as a macro inside Photoshop), you should be good to go.

    Thanks for the hint! I would rather stay with Davinci for such senario...

      Thanks for your reply.

       

      I was thinking the same thing. However, it is still annoying that Adobe does not support its own files...

      You are correct. They did add most of the features of Speedgrade to Premiere Pro.

      Does anyone wish Speedgrade was a separate program? 

      Adobe could merge the best features of each program into one. 


      No, they didtn't even come close to adding the features of SpeedGrade into Premiere. Not even after the recent upgrades to Lumetri.

       

      SpeedGrade had an amazing ability to quickly target very specific areas. My colorist buds, heavy Resolve users, still all were aware of the "9 way" wheels controls in SpeedGrade. It's one of the things that made that app so freaking fast to use.

       

      The ability to target your changes ... to apply grades from 1-9 clips previous or forward of the current clip to the current clip ... the ability to one-click apply the current clip grade to clips 1-9 forward or back ... up to four clips in the viewer for comparison at once ... the ability to make groups in the layer stack, for things like grouping effects with masks to work some inside, some outside the mask ... the ability to work say the Blue channel independent of Red and Green ... so many things that are still not part of Lumetri.

       

      And that I miss on a daily basis.
