Raw color correction vs 32 bit Tiff

[Van Royko]

I havnt been able to apply color correction filters to R3D media in after effects. Probably because my system is way below the recommended spec. However I can render out Tiff sequences and the re-import them to do any effects needed.

Im wondering how color correction on a 32 bit floating point tiff compares to color correcting the original raw?

And P.S- is there any way in after effects or premier to use the same sort of raw manipulation tools found in Redcine?

Thanks

that's what I'm wondering too... just got our first shots in premiere and they're looking kind of flat - is there any way to manipulate the raw-data within premiere or AE?
as it's not possible to generate a xml from premiere to open in redcine, I'm searching for a good workflow to do a roughcut and render it out with a basic colorgrading...

The current plugin does not support raw data manipulation yet, futures updates will at some point we are told.

I'd have to disagree with that, I've been using the Premiere Pro to AE CS4 workflow for over a month doing some pretty heavy grading within AE, as well as time warp and other effects right on the R3D files. Besides my need to upgrade to a much faster system, I havn't had any issues.


Oops, read your post wrong. Your talking about the actual meta data manipulation. Yes, that is something I have been hoping for for a while. I have been having some great success with grading in after effects though.

Stephan, what colorspace do you use for shooting and on initial import? grading in AFX is good but I'm afraid of loosing some colorinformation by importing and correcting those "flat images"...
