Raw DNG image sequence replace with AE is not working

[Mariano Puppo]

Hi everyone,

I searched but I couldn't find any solution. it seems to be a bug from many years ago but is still there.

I have whole edit in premiere of raw dng that I need to replace with dynamic link for croma keying.

problem is when you want to do "replace with ae composition" after effects imports only the first frame and makes a composition with the duration of the clip but with a still frame.

Very frustating. does anyone know a solution or easy workaround?

Thanks,

Premiere Pro does not yet work properly with CinemaDNG.  Use Resolve instead.  It's free.

I would love to use resolve, but there a only two things holding me back to switch. First and most important dynamic links, second mercury playback, I can't output video full frame in resolve without a blackmagic card or output box.

Those issues aside, Premiere Pro does not work correctly with CinemaDNG.  Resolve does.

The only real workaround is to export the CinemaDNG clip to something like Cineform or DNxHD/R, and use that on your sequence for any clip you need to comp in Ae.

Thanks Neil, I just finished this job, it was a tv commercial shot in Raw from shogun inferno. Everything was chroma key so lot of "replace with AE composition"

The solution was to edit using DNG sequences in premiere, by the way I was surprised how smooth 4K Raw files are played in premiere with cuda, once you click "replace with after effects composition" and the clips are sent to AE , the comp and footage lenght is perfect the only thing you need to do is replace the footage inside AE with the same file. once you replace it AE will read the file as a sequence instead of a still image. Everyting worked in/out points lenght, size. So it wasn't that bad, just a couple of clicks
