Best workflow using DNG files from Odyssey 7Q in Premiere 8.1

Finally, the magenta highlights issue has been fixed in this new 8.1 version of Premiere - lovely! :-)
I'm wondering though, what the best workflow is when using 2K/4K raw dng image sequences from the Odyssey7Q? In this case, shot on the Sony FS700.
Is there a simple and easy way to batch import a bunch of clips?
The behavior of the Media Browser in Premiere is a little different than the last version... When you choose the individual dng clip folders it now shows one single dng sequence files instead of a bunch of individual png images. But you still have to browse to each clip folder and choose the dng sequence file. If you just choose the root that contains the clip folders or if you choose multiple clip folders, it will import the content of those folders as individual dng image files! Pretty annoying...
Does anyone know of a better way to import where you don't have to choose each clip manually?
Also, how do you bring a PP edit sequence into AE for ACR processing? You can't copy/paste the files and you can't choose "Replace With After Effects Composition" - those two methods will just import one single DNG frame into AE.
You can import a whole PP project into AE but that will just show the entire PP sequence as one single file. You can't access the individual clips or open it in ACR.
The best method I know of is export all the DNG sequences as proxies, edit the material using the proxies on PP timeline, copy/paste that into an AE comp and then manually replace each of the used proxy files with the original DNG files, which will open up the ACR. But that's a bit of a hassle...
Is there any way of taking advantage of the full dynamic range of the DNG files in Premiere? When I bring down and overexposed image using either fast color correction or by right-clicking on a clip and choosing "source settings..." and using the exposure slider, the image looks "flat" but when I do the same thing using the ACR, I can reintroduce the details otherwise lost in the overexposure.
Any info or advice on this will be greatly appreciated

Hi EyelightKasper,
See if this method will work for you: Re: How to import multiple DNG files into Premiere

Error in DNG files from LR 3.2 using RW2 raw files?

I'm using DNG Profile Editor to generate appropriate profiles for infra-red images produced by converted Canon 5d and Panasonic G1 cameras.
In the case of the 5d this works fine and I've generated good profiles. However, with the G1 I get an error when trying to open the DNG files in DNG Profile Editor that the files are not valid DNG color files. I've produced DNG files from the original RW2 raw files in LR 3.2 both at time of import and using export command -- in both cases although the files are the right size (~13mb) they have dimensions of 0x0 pixels -- I'm assuming this is causing the error in Profile Editor?. When I carry out identical operations with CR2 files from the 5d I get DNG files with the correct pixel dimensions (5616x3744).
Has anyone else seen this problem? -- is it a known issue? -- is there a work-around?
Thanks for your help!
John.

Are you sure you changed the compatibility options correctly? The issue is that the G1 DNG images in the default 5.4 compatibility are using a newer DNG version not supported by the current public version of the DNG Profile Editor. That's why you need to choose the older "4.6" compatibility option, then Export the DNG again.

Error message when trying to send .dng file from Lr to Ps

If I am working in Lr (5.4) and try to send a .dng file from Lr to Photoshop CC (reinstalled latest version from Adobe.com today, 4/13/2014), I get this message: "
Adobe Photoshop CC cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop CC works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X."
I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop CC today and that did not fix the problem. I am in OS 10.8.5 on an iMac. Thanks!

Hello,
Programs that run in the background cannot address controls on the frontend. This is why you are not able to run a Program using SAP Office Integration which is a Frontend Control and can be used only with the SAP Gui. Since background process cannot make use of UI screens or actions hence it's not possible use SAP Office Integration in background processing. The reason for this is explained in note 674060. Therefore sending emails using a batch macro is not supported.

How to use .mod files from a JVC camcorder?

Hi All,
I'm trying to find the proper workflow for using .mod files from a JVC Everio model camcorder. I was able to transfer the files onto my system by simply using the included usb cable from the unit. It simply mounted the camera's flash card on my desktop and I was able to drag all of the files from it.
As others have posted, the .mod files are not accessible using the Import function in FCP. I am able to open them with MPEGStreamClip as other have suggested. My question is, how should the files be converted to use with FCP and/or DVDSP? In MPEGStreamclip the file shows the video stream as: 224 MPEG-2, 720 × 480, 16:9, 29.97 fps, 8.40 Mbps, upper field first. I tried a few of the demux functions. The straight demux to .m2v & .ac3 yields a file that opens in QT, but it shows up as a 640x480 file and is noticably squeezed. Using the demux unscaled yields a file that opens in QT as a 720x480 file and looks somewhat better. And using the demux to headed yields as file that opens in QT as 720x404 and presumably is the correct 16:9 ratio.
Trying to use those same files in DVDSP didn't get me very far. If I create a new HD project in DVDSP I can import the straight demuxed file and the headed file. The unscaled file won't import. If I add the imported files to tracks the straight demuxed one will play in the simulator but the headed one simply shows a green screen.
I'm hoping that since MPEGStreamclip can play the files, its just a question of figuring out the proper export/conversion settings. My end goal is to produce a dvd of the footage (not exactly sure if I should be using an HD project or a SD project set to letterbox). I also need to produce a web-ready version of the footage. I haven't tried this yet but I'm assuming that one of the QT exports from MPEGStreamclip will get this done correctly.
Hopefully someone has a workable solution for these files.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi all,
I looked further on this forum and found others that had the same problem. One suggested connecting the cam corder first, then start iMovie, then wait for a few minutes. I did this and it worked!!!!!
Problem solved.
Thanks.

Best way to transfer files from old Macbook Pro to new one?

I just got a new Macbook Pro from Apple...YEEEEAAAHHHH!
So....
What's the best way to transfer files from old Macbook Pro to new one? I know Migration assistant, but is there a recommended way? I don't want to put do a system restore or transfer everything from the old laptop, but I do want to move important things like photos, music, documents and such over. Any suggestions on best way to do this?
Another question, perhaps subquestion. If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?
Just looking for hints from the experts so this puppy is set up in the best way possible.

Just one comment on this:
‘If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?’
the problems are ALWAYS in the reverse way, when you have the newest (or a newer) version of a given app, and wish to transfer its library to an older version.
Otherwise, see the link to Pondini.
I have been using Martin Jahn’s iBackup, with which I have become accustomed and works fine. It also makes daily backups. Its advantage over other apps is that you may add whatever you wish to save, beside its default settings (which you may delete or cancel, of course, even if not recommended); it also has a friendly interface and easily customizable. Of course, this is a personal view, you may try other methods as well, or other backup apps. All are good if you are satisfied and correspond to your needs.

Support for DNG files from Odyssey7Q.

Just upgraded my Odyssey7Q to capture 4K RAW from the FS700. Importing the DNGs into Premiere yields an extremely purple image. The DNGs import fine in After Effects.
Any chance to get this addressed in a Premiere update?

Hi Dave,
I did start the thread over on DVXUser - good to see you're working with Convergent Design on supporting their DNG files :) The odyssey 7Q is an excellent bit of kit and seems to be taking the world by storm!
Are you able to say if support for this will be in the next release and roughly when we might expect to see that?
I'm guessing we're about due for another release? Maybe for NAB time????
Cheers,
Paul.

Olympus E-P1: Why DNG files from DNG-Converter, Lightroom or CameraRaw are invalid ?

Hello from Spain:
I've got a Olympus Pen E-P1.
I work with DNG Converter 5.5, Lightroom 2.5, CameraRaw 5.5, Photoshop CS4 with my *.ORF files with no problems, and I can convert ORF in DNG with those software smooth, but...
I can't open those DNG files with DNG Profile Editor. It display a error message "Could not open the selected image. Note that the selected image must be a valid DNG color image".
I'm trying to create a E-P1 DNG Profile using ColorChecker Passport. When I try to import a DNG file displays a similar error message "Can't open the file. Is a invalid DNG file".
What is occurring about DNG files from E-P1's ORF?.
Thank you,
Juanlu.

Hi, Beat:
Thanks for your offer.
Here you are a link to _B101110.ORF from my E-P1 for anyone who wants to try.

Can I save a dng file from Photoshop6 to import back into Lightroom 4

Can I save a dng file from Photoshop6 to import back into Lightroom 4. I don't understand why this is not straight forward.

Hello!
The DNG format's goal is to be an universal file formats for camera raw files: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html?promoid=DTEHA
You can save a DNG from camera raw without a problem.
Just go the the bottom left hand corner of the interface, and select "save image".
(as explained here in the help files: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/creativesuite/cs/using/WS91C1E0BD-9600-42b2-8EBE-1E012ED61058. html#WSB0DC278F-B3DF-4a60-88BC-B3D6A852C242 )
Or are you trying to save an file edited in Photoshop as a DNG?
For what purpose, exactly? A TIFF, PSD or PSB file can have a raw file, saved as a Smart Object (to allow later reprocessing in Camera Raw) and all the pixel/vector editing layers intact.
If saved with maximize compatibility, it can be opened in Lightroom for cataloging, and editing, if needed.

Settings when using mp4 files from Samsung GS3

Hi,
Does anyone know the settings I should select when creating a New PE10 Project and using mp4 files from a Samsung Galaxy S3 mobile phone?
Thanks

Ms Spielberg
If you are using video files from the Samsung Galaxy S3, from what I have read, it offers 1080p up to 30, that being 1920 x 1080 @ 30 progressive frames per second. Is that correct? If so, please consider.
The project preset should match the properties of your source media. In setting the Premiere Elements 10 Windows project preset (new project dialog), the choice of one of the FIip project presets range from frames sizes 640 x 480 to 1280 x 720. So, they would not be a match.
Consequently, I would ask you to consider the project preset if your source media from this Samsung Galaxy S3 are as I have read 1080p30.
NTSC (or PAL as the case may be)
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p30 or DSLR 1080p30 @ 29.97
In Premiere Elements 10 after you set the project preset, then you import your media with Get Media.
a. If you can connect your phone to the computer, you could explore Get Media/Flip/AVCHD/Cameras, Phones or Removable Drive as I think SG is suggesting.
or
b. If your phone files are saved to a hard drive location, then Get Media/Files and Folders.
Are you also asking for export suggestions?
Thanks.

Can I use mp3 files from different domain as the feed?

Hi..
I have just created a new podcast here:
http://artistsofliving.com/?feed=podcast
I would like to submit the podcast to iTunes sometime soon...
However, I'm wondering if they will reject it because the feed lives on 'artistsofliving.com', whereas I keep the media mp3 files on 'livinginthepresent.com'... a different domain.
I own the mp3 content and both domains- I'm splitting the media from the website for bandwidth reasons.
Is this ok? If this causes a rejection straight out is there a way to indicate that I own the material fairly?
Thanks!
-rich

There's no problem about using media files from any source: the feed just has to reference them (the URLs have to be 'absolute' - i.e. including the http:// and the server name - even if the file is on the same server as the feed anyway). I don't see the fact that some files have different URLs leading to accusations of copyright breach.

Raw File conversion to Tiff or Jpeg - best workflow for multiple files in Photo Shop Elements 11

Hello, I am pretty new to shooting in raw and Photoshop Elements (11). I have one big problem. Once I open Elements up and load the Raw files from the SD card it shows them all on the left side in Camera Raw. I make my contrast and color adjustments if needed, but then my problem starts: I do not really want to make any further adjustments in Elements itself, but in order to save my Raw files either as Tiff or Jpeg it seems like I need to - through clicking on the "open image". Now it only opens up that one particular photo. I did not manage to go simply back to Camera Raw to grab the next one as the screen just disappears. However, this one by one process is of course not the preferred way. I know that there is batch processing, but am also not sure if my adjustments that I did in Camera Raw will carry over as I am actually never saving anything and would like to avoid saving it before all manually as .dng files as it would just be another extra step. I hope I could make clear where I have problems and what I would like to achieve and hope you can help me. Many thanks in advance.

Simply select and edit each picture thumbnail from the left panel without clicking 'Done' or 'Open'.
When you have edited each individual picture, select all your thumbnails - click on the first one - shift click on the last one. They should be all highlighted.
Then simply click 'Done'.
Your edits are saved in sidecar xmp files.
If the thumbnails are not yet automatically updated, select the files, right click and choose 'Update thumbnail'.
No need to use the editor with 'Open as' if you don't want any further edit or jpeg/tiff/psd/png version.
Edit:
I am not sure I have understood your question.
The above process lets you convert and edit a batch of raw files without opening the editor.
If you want to get jpeg or tiff files from the already edited raw files, either use the 'process multiple files' of the editor or the 'export' feature from the Organizer.
The common raw workflow in Elements consists in converting small batches as explained above to take advantage of applying common edits or individual differences. In some cases you want to open the editor, in others not.
That's at the input time.
When you want to output pictures, the selection of picture is different for each purpose. You'll include pictures edited in different batches, some still in raw format, others already converted in version sets to jpeg/tiff... For each output purpose, those selected pictures can be sent to the destination folder in the required format withoug opening the editor at that stage either using 'process multiple files' or 'export'.

DNG files from Pentax k10d in iPhoto?

I have just stated shooting with my new Pentax k10d. A great camera that are able to save not only pentax RAW (PEF) but also DNG files. My old camera is a Canon 300D, I have been using iPhoto 6 as organizer and intend do so even now.
I thought that iPhoto supported DNG, but it can not read any file other than jpeg from the k10d! Really frustating.
Do I have to wait for an update, and for how long? Is there anybody out there who knows?

Martinst:
We have no idea when or if iPhoto will support DNG files. They seem to be preferred by many professional photographers for a number of reasons. We'll just have to wait for iLife 07 to see what iPhoto has added.
However, have you downloaded the Digital Camera RAW Support Update 1.0.1 (PPC). It includes some DNG support.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
