Important Considerations: Recording Format
Pro Res or Raw?
•
I recommend shooting in Pro Res HQ not Cinema DNG RAW.
•
File Size: 42 minutes of Pro Res HQ on a 64 GB hard drive as opposed to 20
minutes of Cinema DNG RAW
•
File size: 21 minutes of Pro Res HQ on a 32 GB card, as opposed to 10
minutes of RAW
•
Pro Res HQ files can be played directly from a USB 3 hard drive.
•
Cinema DNG RAW files require a SSD drive (thunderbolt) or RAID array
•
Pro Res HQ is 10 bit 4.2.2 color as opposed to Cinema DNG 12 bit 4.4.4
color (not a lot of difference).
•
There is less margin for error in exposure with Pro Res but you can still
overexpose by one stop in “Film” dynamic range.
