  Lossless CDNG VFX Workflow?

  Posted by Evan Zazula on May 19, 2014 at 11:19 pm

  Hi,

  I’m wondering about a lossless workflow for editing, VFX (Keying, 3D, Compositing), and color grading.

  My current workflow is this:

  1. Import CDNG sequences into Resolve
  2. Export 244 proxies
  3. Edit proxies in Premiere
  4. Export EDL
  5. Conform original DNG sequences to the EDL
  6. Grade
  7. Send to AE for vfx
  8. Export

  The problem with this workflow arises when I want to do any keying, motion tracking, retiming, 3d work, ect… I can’t really do some of these things on final graded footage. How, and where should I do my VFX?
  I would like to avoid using ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) and stick to using one debayer, Resolve’s.

  What do studios do?

  Any help is appreciated!
  Thanks!
