Question

ProRes RAW Workflow in Premiere Pro

I'm looking for some help with editing/working with ProRes RAW footage in PP. I have a Sony PXW-FS5 Mark II camera that is capable of outputting ProRes RAW via SDI to my Atomos Shogun Inferno recorder. I end up with a Quicktime/MOV file that looks flat (as expected). But I'm unable to find any good tutorials on how to work with this footage in Premiere Pro. It seems this is a newer feature in PP (working with ProRes RAW footage). See my attached screenshot. From my research, it seems like I should be able to change the ISO? Also, I'm not 100% sure which Color Space option to use.  I suspect one of the S-Log options since I'm using a Sony Camera. But again, not a lot of tutorials out there I could find on this specific subject.

    I’ve helped build an Adobe Premiere plugin solution to this problem: OCTOPUS RAW Studio - we’ve developed our own Apple approved ProRes RAW decoder and RAW pipeline processor which exposes pretty much every RAW control you can think of and more (And obviously includes ISO, white-balance and tint!).

      That "exposure" control is basically (practically speaking) an ISO adjustment, the way gain works as a post processing item.

       

      So I would suggest setting the Color Space to the timeline working space, and trying that. This takes the camera clip, with the "exposure" changes you've set in this control, direct to timeline working space.

       

      If you want to, you can set the clip to a log form, and do your own linearization (normalization) process. That may work for you ... if one of them seems to work well when tested through to export.

       

      It is unfortunate that we don't have more controls with ProRes raw like we do with say Red or BlackMagic raw forms. So that Exposure control is about it.

      Everyone's mileage always varies ...
