I've shot a good amount with the BMCC in ProRes and finally would like to make the step into that beautiful domain of RAW BMCC CinemaDNG. I had a few questions:
Thanks very much to all in advance for any help that may be offered, and please excuse my total noobness with working with Raw!
- - Are normal internal hard drives fast enough to edit RAW? Are External FW800 HD's able to?
- I know the workflow to edit RAW in Davinci Resolve is to first import the clips, make proxies, edit the proxies in your NLE of choice, then round trip back to Resolve for final color grading. But after the grading is done, do you then export your "master" from Resolve itself or do you then once again export into FCP/Other NLE and go from there?
- Is it possible to edit the proxies in your NLE and then be done with it? Or is it essential to round trip back to Resolve in order to maintain RAW quality.
- Does HD speed matter so much if the editing process of RAW clips is done mainly through ProRes proxies anyway?
- Should you be editing your Raw 2.5k CinemaDNG in Resolve or your NLE in 1920 x 1080 as seems to be the default settings?
- Finally, when exporting your master for web or as a file format, what settings do you choose? Do you try keeping it in as high resolution as possible? (2.5k) or do you export as 1080p (1920 x 1080)?
