  Feature Request: Stills Camera RAW file support!

  Posted by Robert Houllahan on August 24, 2013 at 3:53 pm

  I am shooting a set of Timelapse shots with a Canon 1D and would love to be able to load the Canon CR2 files into resolve with the ability to manipulate the RAW settings.

  Are you able to convert it to DNGs?

  Converting Canon .CR2 files to C-DNG seems to be quite an involved process, most people using up to three programs to get the files into Resolve.

  Typical workflow is load .CR2’s into LR-Timelapse to make raw adjustments to levels (and maybe for deflicker) then load the .CR2’s and a XML into Lightroom then export from Lightroom to AE then export to DNG’s or DPX.

  I think it would be fantastic if Resolve could load the .CR2’s (or other Camera RAW files) similar to the way R3D files are handled.

  Fortunately for me the Post House will deal with the shots I am shooting this week but I would like to have a simpler workflow for Timelapse shots.

  I use a deflicker filter on a large percentage of timelapses. If BMD added raw still support, I would only be able to use it if there was an automatic deflicker in Resolve

  Certainly a consideration.

  I am shooting a bulb ramped 1D with a external computerized controller which measures shutter and allows for programmed exposure ramps, so MY shots don’t have flicker…;-)

  Unfortunately I think allot of these shots are being done with simple controllers and aperture value or completely automatic exposure…..
