Future ProResRAW support

cliff_622 wrote on 3/31/2020, 11:19 PM

Looks like ProResRAW is getting more traction now with Edius and Adobe now supporting it today. (Adobe just received a public beta ProResRAW plugin this week)

Is Vegas going to get ProResRAW support soon? If so, will it happen in version 17 or will version 18 be necessary?

It looks like Atomos and Panasonic will have 5.9K, 12bit raw support for the Lumix S1H very soon now. (raw sensor data using HDMI as a data bus for the Ninja V to encode ProResRAW)

I have both the S1H and Atomos Ninja V so I'm interested to know if this will ever come to Vegas 17. (I hope so and I prefer Vegas over Adobe)

Thanks!

We can now add ANOTHER camera to the ProResRAW world this week. ZCamE2

Seemingly the new Sony FX6 will have raw output for recording ProResRAW as well as the current Sony FX9.

Also,..there is talk about the new Lumix GH6 will also have HDMI raw that Atomos will record ProResRAW for too.

Before 2020 is over, we will have probably 5 or 6 even MORE cameras that can output raw over HDMI that will be used to record ProResRAW.

Vegas folks....any comments on this growing trend?

The team is aware of it, and are working on it. It may come soon, it may come later, but just know they are well aware of the need to support it and are doing all they can to make it happen.

WOW!,...thank you! You just gave me "hope"!

Couldn't test ProResRAW because I don't have a Ninja but I was able to test 3 other flavors of ProRes shot with a z-cam e2 and compare them with avc and hevc rendering and playing with Vegas 17...

Anybody else played with ProResRAW yet? I have been this week and it's pretty DAMN cool!

You should also take respect to words, too, not just human...haha.

Seriously but another topic, I wish so much that ProRes-Intermediate can deal with HDR10 rendering.

The Sigma fp records records uncompressed RAW internally. There is no patent on RAW recording in camera. This is true, internal 12bit RAW (Cinema DNG RAW). The Sigma fp can also record *both* BRAW, to BlackMagic's 12G Video Assist, and ProResRAW, to the Ninja V. It is the only camera to be able to do this. So, you can record DNG RAW, BRAW, ProResRAW from the same *full frame* camera.

And Vegas PRO supports NONE of these RAW flavors (DNG RAW is a standard that has been around a long time - the original BMPCC shot in DNG RAW).

Bump!....just wondering if anybody has any insight on the status of Vegas and ProResRAW.

Anybody know?

VEGAS Creative Software has been in the process of getting approval from Apple for months, there isn't much they can do until Apple does their thing.

I wonder how Apple feels about Vegas's "ProRes Intermediate" codec? Do they even care or know about it? Will that effect Vegas' ability to get accepted for ProResRAW?

They renamed it, it is Magix Intermediate.

Anyway, nobody has an update so you should find another solution if you need it now.

Now with Vegas/Magix being able to negotiate true Prores with Apple in Vegas 18, when can we expect to see ProresRAW support?

I have to suspect that gaining official ProRes today was a result of the new ProresRAW licensing deal?

I guess the big question is; Will they implement ProResRAW in "this" version of Vegas or will we need to wait for Vegas Pro 19? If so, how long? I hope it comes soon. I'm starting to shoot ProResRAW on my A7S-III and Lumix S1 with firmware 2.0

Anybody know? ProResRAW is hot today and only growing larger now.
