Panasonic GH4 RAW

I'd like to know when support is coming for the Panasonic GH4? I just received mine yesterday but with no RAW support I can't use this on any jobs...

Dave, there is nothing you can do to make Lightroom read the raw files from the GH4. Adobe has to create their profile for each and every camera model introduced by the camera manufacturers. This can only be done after the camera has been sold in the market, so there is always a wait before an update is released by Adobe for Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw.
The last update was on April 7th 2014 and these are issued approximately every three months. Have a look at the link below to the Lightroom Journal website, this is where info about new things with Lightroom are posted by Adobe officially.

Quote from the last release notes.
Lightroom 5.4 is now available as a final release on Adobe.com and through the update mechanism in Lightroom 5. The goal of this release is to provide support for Lightroom mobile, additional camera raw support, lens profile support and address bugs that were introduced in previous releases of Lightroom.

Panasonic Gh4 Raw file support

Any idea as to when the Panasonic Gh4 Raw Files will be supported in Aperture.

No, Apple does not release this kind of information in advance.
There are three to four raw support releases per year, so it may take a few month, until you will be seeing support for that camera. The 4K video may be an added complication.
G5, Mac OS X (10.4.8)
You'll have to upgrade to Mavericks and Aperture 3.5.1, to be able to profit from new raw support.

Support for Panasonic GH4 RAW (RW2) Files?

Any word on support for Panasonic GH4 RAW (RW2) files? They load into Aperture (and Photoshop, too) with the dreaded "unsupported image type" alert.

The GH4 comes with a software disc that includes SILKYPIX Developer Studio 4.1 SE for Mac & PC. Installing the software seems to also install the Panasonic Raw 2 Image Plugin. Once the software was installed, I was able to open the RW2 files shot with the GH4 in iPhoto, Lightroom 5 and Preview. After SILKYPIX Developer Studio 4.1 SE is installed, the RW2 preview images also appear in Finder.
I was not able to find the software on the Panasonic web site, so if you are installing on a new Mac without a CD/DVD drive, you'll need to use Remote Disc.

Can Aperture V. 3.4.5 read Panasonic GH4 Raw Photo Files? Is problem using Vintaged MacBook Pro 8 years old?

Have vintaged MacBook Pro 15" running Mac OSX 10.7.5 but can't view downloaded GH4 Photos and all available software upgrades loaded?
My GH4 photos show in aperture running on my iMac 27 at home (2-3 years old)?
Anyway to get the Vintage Macbook Pro and Aperture 3.4.5 to view the GH4 photos/

That camera is not yet supported, see the list of currently available RAW support:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
It usually takes a few month after the release of a new camera for the RAW support to be available.
But even, when the RAW support will finally be released, it will probably require the latest version of MacOS X Mt. Lion or Mavericks - all recent RAW support has been released only for the newer versions of Aperture or iPhoto.
As a work-around, use the software that comes with the camera (SILKYPIX) to convert your RAW to a different lossless format (e.g. TIFF)
(Download SILKYPIX Developer Studio for Mac - RAW photo ...)

Update to read raw files from Panasonic GH4 gives error Code U44M1I216??

Trying to view Raw files from the new Panasonic GH4; CS6 won't open them. I tried Help>Update and got 5 updates available. Downloaded and attempted installation but got the error code above. Did as directed in some forum posts--Library>Application Support>Adobe>AAMUPdater and deleted the AAMUpdater file. Closed PS and Bridge, reopened, and still no good. Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Panasonic GH4 is not listed in the "Lens correction Profile"

Hi there,
I am using Panasonic GH4 and GX7.
And according to my Lightroom 5, it is already the latest version but under the lens crorection profile. I cannot even find the word PANASONIC in the dropdown menu for cameras.
Any ideas and tips ?
Thank you

I won't say that I understand this, but on 99jon's linked page there is "fine print" that says, "For Panasonic and Olympus cameras, automatic lens profile correction is supported on all raw files from Micro Four Thirds cameras."
(The statement is the last bullet point in the Tips section above the lens list.)
Yes, this is what I don't understand too.
While the fine-print says it supported Panasonic micro 4/3 cameras but Panasonic is not in the list of cameras that 99jon posted ...
Any ideas ?
Thanks

How to get GH4 RAW files to work natively in Lightroom 4.4

I want to know how i can process Panasonic Lumix GH4 RAW files within Lightroom 4.4 like i use to do with my GH3. I have updated camera raw to 8.6 so i can use Photoshop CS6 to process them but i much prefer doing it in Lightroom. Any help would be appreciated!

Nothing is “free”. Adding cameras and adding new features is still work performed by people who are paid for their work. Adobe could ask for more money, just a smaller amount, for every single release even if there were no new features, but they choose to ask for more money only for the new features releases. You don’t get the benefit of those of us paying for new feature releases forever, only until a new-features release is available.
Adobe could “support” old versions forever, updating them for new operating systems and new cameras, but how would they pay people to do that work? They’d either need to charge for all those new-OS/new-camera releases, just a smaller amount, or they could charge a lot more for each new-feature-release to pay for those people working on the older versions. But both of those scenarios are less optimal because there are actually more people doing more work so the overall expense is more. Adobe’s major-payfor-upgrades, minor-free-updates pricing model is a cost-effective compromise, but it means customers do have to pay, again, every so often, when the consumer has changed things about their own environment, either new cameras, or new operating systems.

No camera profiles in development module for Panasonic GH4 rw2 files, imported in Lightroom 5.6.

No camera profiles in development module for Panasonic GH4 rw2 files, imported in Lightroom 5.6.
Only the "Adobe Standard" is shown. In metadata I can see that the camera and lense were recognized correctly. What could be the reason?

The sample GH4 raw file I found on PhotographyBlog does have a lens profile that the Adobe applies automatically without having lens profiles being enabled. This is indicated in Photoshop CC / ACR 8.x so perhaps LR 6 will give us the same indication:
By comparison, here is what the uncorrected raw file looks like in a raw converter that doesn't do lens corrections:

Why are Panasonic GX7 RAW photos not visible in Aperture but in OS X Mavericks and iPhoto?

My Panasonic GX7 RAW photos seem to be visible in OS X Mavericks and iPhoto, but bizarrely not in Aperture (3.5.1).
Does anyone know why this would be? Any solution greatly appreciated.
I've been unable to mange a significant number of images for almost 7 months now due to Aperture's lack of GX7 RAW support and am seriously considering migrating to Lightroom 5. Aperture has been my workflow application of choice for the last 7 or 8 years, but I feel the current situation has become unacceptable and deeply disappointing .

That camera was supported in digital camera Raw 5.0.1 and Aperture 3.4.5 or later. As you say the files are supported in iPhoto it seems you have the right Raw file.
Have you tried it with new imports in Aperture does it still fail? What if you reprocess the Raw files in Aperture, any change?

Panasonic GH4 and PP CS5 4K Compatibility

I still use Premiere Pro CS5... it works fine for me and I never really saw the need to upgrade. I'm now looking into getting a new video camera and am seriously considering the Panasonic GH4 or the X1000. If I use these to shoot in 4K can I simply import the footage into PP CS5 like I have in the past with AVCHD footage? Or will I need to upgrade to PP CC? My PC is very powerful, an I7 with a Cuda card.
Upon researching this question on the web I'm seeing conflicting results. Some people say they can just import 4K video into a sequence without a problem and others say it needs to be converted through another 3rd party program. I also found some info about importing RED 4K footage, but is that the same workflow for GH4 4K video?
I think the only way I'll get an accurate answer is to post here in the Adobe forums. Hopefully there is a PP CS5 user out there who sees this post and who also has a GH4 and can explain their 4K workflow.
Thanks!

Dear taz291819
Thanks for your help. I have one more question. Do I actually need two monitors or will the computer monitor serve as a video monitor? I'm used to the old analog process of viewing the final video on a video monitor, but with HD, I would think that the computer monitor would give the same result as a separate video monitor. My ViewSonic would work, I'm sure, but it's a bit small for the HD format and I would like a bigger screen to work on. So, can I just use the computer monitor for editing and viewing the final product?
For Harm Millaard, I just think that HD will produce a better final product in small formats viewed as podcasts or on mobile phones -- plus almost everyone wants everything in HD now, and for some of the things I will be doing, it will undoubtedly give a better product. I want to upgrade my camera anyway, so I want to go to HD.

Can't import MP4 from Panasonic GH4 into Premiere CS6

Can't import 50Mbps MP4 from Panasonic GH4 into Premiere CS6 but I can import it into CC. Any workarounds to get it into CS6?
Another odd thing is that I can import the 50Mbps MOV from the GH4 into CS6 but can't play it using Windows Media Player (for quick review before importing) like I can the MP4. If someone knows how to get the MOV from the GH4 to play with Windows Media Player I'd start using that format instead of the MP4. Odd thing is that the 50Mbps MOV recorded with my GH3 can play in Windows Media Player.

I updated to the latest version CS6 and that solved the MP4 import problem. Still working on the other issue.

IPhoto update failed with my Panasonic GH1 raw file.

I just installed the new package for Panasonic GH1 raw support for iPhoto 09 but it did not work. It did not recognize or allow an import of my raw file from the Panasonic.

Did you run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions after installing the update? Also backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.
