Preview of RAW video

PostSun Apr 02, 2017 9:18 pm

Hi,
sorry if this is obvious but I've shot my first RAW videos this weekend. I have a large storage now with many takes and I need to select the ones that I'm passing on to an external part that will clip and grade. Is there a way to "preview" the files without taking them through the long process of rendering each one in Premiere? Its not enough to just open the dng files one by one, I need to see which ones that worked the best with focus etc..

Scratch Play- FREE.
Resolve- FREE
Premiere will also do- point to the first image in the sequences and Premiere should detect it's a sequence and make a clip of it which you can scrub etc.

Scratch Play is great free preview player. It has very fast debayer mode for most RAW formats which is way good enough for preview cases. You can add LUTs, easily specific preview color space and with pro cards has 10bit GUI (OpenGL) color accurate preview (no need for SDI card).
