Open more times Camera RAW in After Effects (CC)

[Walter Soyka]

[Duca Simone Luchini] “I’m importing .dng files in AE and the first time AE opens Camera RAW automatically. But if you want to edit again DNG sequence in Camera RAW. how can you make it?”

Right-click the sequence and choose Interpret Footage > Main. Click the “More Options” button in the lower left corner to open ACR again.

Hi Dave,
no, if I import many differents .DNG file, every time AE opens Camera RAW. (I’ve AE CC).

The problem is an other… if you open a .dng file, make a setting in Camera RAW and than open the same file again, to see for exemple the difference, AE open it in Camera RAW with the SAME setting of the first…! So, you have to return in Camaera Raw and reset to default camera Raw, to have again original file.

A good workflow, I think, is to import the first .dng file, don’t set anything in Camera RAW and rename it (something like ORIGINAL). Than, import again (or duplicate it), rename with a different name (something like CC or GRADED) and make CC setting in Camera RAW.

I know its a year old, yet I needed to find initiating camera raw for files already imported today… thank you Walter. Your expertise has helped me over the years to migrate mine and for that I am very thankful to you and creative cow.
cheers,
