    Hi, I have a question regarding Prores RAW files (444 RAW HDR 50 fps). In order to edit them on the Adobe Premiere, I converted them with Final Cut Compressor to Prores 422HQ. Although the files have become visible on Windows in VLC, after importing to Premiere they look bad (see the screenshot).

    In Final Cut X the ProRes RAW files look good but only after switching NONE to Sony S-Log3 / S-Gamut3 in the “RAW to Log Conversion” option in the sequence settings. Is there any similar option in Adobe Premiere 2019 which would make the Prores 422HQ clip look good? If VLC can do it, Adobe Premiere should as well.
    Am I right?

    You should convert in FCPX, not in Compressor.

    Why do you think they are HDR? If they are RAW or log, then are not HDR-encoded. That’s a function of post-production grading.

    No computer display will properly display true HDR video.

    Thank You! Now it’s working, but I have another question about it. Is there any possibility to put whole footage to FCPX, change this RAW to Log Conversion and send it all separately (to get all files separately) do FC Compressor?
