Finally! CineformRaw controlls in Resolve

PostThu Apr 09, 2015 7:59 am

https://iaremrsir.wordpress.com/2015/04 ... i-resolve/


For the past couple of months I’ve been wanting to challenge my programming abilities since I’m close to transferring to uni. To do that I decided to try my hand at getting Davinci Resolve to read CineForm Raw (CFR from now on) files as if they were DNGs. I believe I’ve done a fairly sufficient job with this plugin. Here are the “specs” of the plugin.
OFX Win64 only (for now)
32 fps 2K 16:9 on i7-3770K Turbo O.C. 4.4 GHz
Uses combination of continuous functions and 16b tables of 32b floats to maintain speed and accuracy

Nice find Frank! Though a pity it's only for Windows.

Here is why:

I think it's mainly because of the libraries they use. They use RawSpeed to read the DNGs, and I guess it's been tricky to use on OS X. I guess writing a decoder is difficult or out of the question for them. I don't know, maybe RawSpeed just gives them the performance their after and that's why they stuck with it.

At the end of this coming week I'm going to be working on the OS X implementation of the plugin. So, those who convert to CineForm raw through a Windows VM can finally use their footage correctly.

Holy crap, I've been waiting for this for years! Can't wait to try it out, if it works I'll update my "resolve hack" post with this new method!
