Scratch and Canon 7D, etc.?

[Chris Parker]

Just curious if Scratch(cine) could be used to injest files from Canon 7D, Sony EX1, etc. and export them as DPX sequences? If not, does anyone have a good technique for doing this?

For this job I would suggest After effects or Shake, otherwise you might need to get Gluetools, and just use FCP to export it.

FCP will export DPX with Glue Tools? I thought it would only play QT wrapped DPX's in FCP.....

cool.

ScratchCine can only take in Red files. For other formats (quicktime, etc...) you will have to have Scratch.

Oh... and I bet I can make the 7D, EX1 and other footage look better faster in Scratch (or any other color corrector) than in AE or Shake. I used Shake to grade a documentary a bunch of years ago, and that was one of the worst decisions ever, and I am (was!) a HUUUUUGE shake fan, having used it since before it even had a graphical interface.

Use grading tools for grading, and compositing tools for compositing. Grading 1,600 cuts and 144,000 frames in after effects - I'd rather have my head sawed off!

John. I think Chris was asking how to export a DPX sequence. I wasn't suggesting he use SHAKE or AE to CC. But these programs could injest a QT and export a DPX sequence.

I think that was the question?

Chris?

Understood - I misunderstood the original question. Also, conforming is probably Scratch's most used feature in post facilities here in LA - to output conformed DPX sequences for use in vfx, Baselight, Resolve, etc...

An important thing to note: a serious drawback with AE, Premiere, and even Apple Color is that they do not use the new color science when debayering RAW, and that's a dealkiller, imho.

yeah, but the footage would be coming from a 7D. So what would that have to do with debayering R3D files?

I'm not paying very good attention in this thread, am I... been a busy week!

yeah, looking to export DPX sequence from 7D footage (or Sony EX1 footage, etc.).

thanks david et. all.....

Hey Chris...

Contact me off-list, and send me a file from the 7D. ; )
