Not only does this save a lot of space because the Cinema DNG files can be deleted, you still get plenty of opportunity to adjust white balance and colour. MLVFS is so quick to mount a card full of MLV files as Cinema DNG, which can then be opened directly in Resolve 14 with fluid playback and editing of raw video.īut I still use Resolve to apply LOG gamma (like Canon LOG or Blackmagic film gamma) and transcode the files to ProRes 422 LT. I find the workflow much improved from 2013. What SD and CF cards are other people using? Obviously for the compact flash DSLRs like the 5D3 and 7D the approach is pretty similar. So the 6+ card approach is the one I go for. Raw will never be the best choice for a fast same-day turn around from shoot to edit, but for everything else it's fine.įor shorter shoots you can do the edit the same day as transcoding 128GB or so of Cinema DNG isn't too hard.Īlso, copying a full 128GB card to an SSD doesn't take long at all in 2017 via USB 3 or 3.1 C, but if you do it during a shoot with the intention to reuse the card, just bare in mind that's a lot of data on one drive and if the drive gets lost or crashes that's the whole footage gone with no backup. Rather than copy such a large amount of Cinema DNG / MLV data off the card during a shoot which can be distracting, my method is to just invest in 6 or 7 cards to get you through a day, and leave it transcoding to ProRes over night. Many of them can do 90+ so that's not an issue. These cards need guaranteed 40MB/s write speeds.

So 128GB SD cards are very cheap now. and on cameras like the 70D you get double the record time per card with 10bit than we used to get with full 1920x1080 14bit raw on the 5D Mark III.
