  Converting Cineon Log Image Sequence to ProRes 4444 XQ

  Posted by Rajnesh Domalpalli on January 6, 2016 at 11:18 am

  Hello,

  I have a Cineon (.cin) LOG Image Sequence that I would like to convert to the Apple ProRes 4444 XQ format.

  But I’m not sure of the Procedure to do so; I’ve attached a sample Cineon Image.
  Could you please point me to Relevant information?

  Also, I don’t see ProRes 4444 XQ as an Option in the Output Presets. How do I get this for CS6?

  My System is:
  Adobe Media Encoder CS6
  MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
  OS X El Capitan (10.11.2), 16GB RAM
  NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1Gig

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Regards,
  Rajnesh

  The Issue is Resolved. Here’s how:

  I bought Glue Tools’ Cineon/ DPX Toolkit for Mac OS X and used it with Compressor 4 on my Macbook Pro.

  I was able to Convert Log Cineon Image Sequences into ProRes 4444 XQ QuickTime Movies.

  Some things to note:

  • After downloading the Toolkit, you have to activate it from your System Preferences Panel, and make sure that you select the correct Conversion Settings in the Cineon/ DPX Icon (at the bottom of the System Preferences Panel).
  • They also have a Trial/ Demo Mode for you to try out.
  • Gluetools Cineon/DPX Toolkit (4.1.2936) currently supports only Compressor 4, but may add functionality for FInal Cut X and other tools in the future.
  • Use “Import File” in Compressor 4 and select the first file of the Cineon or DPX Image Sequence when you’re trying to get Gluetools to read them in. Don’t use “Import Image Sequence”.
  • Once you’re written out the ProRes 4444 XQ, you may still need to Color Correct it, but Gluetools has excellent support.
