Adjust ProRes RAW camera settings in Final Cut Pro for Mac
Apple ProRes RAW brings to RAW video the same great performance, quality, and ease of use that Apple ProRes has brought to conventional video, in a format ideal for HDR content creation. ProRes RAW captures raw sensor data from compatible cameras. This wealth of data allows you to flexibly adjust camera settings in Final Cut Pro without losing quality.
With the standard RAW conversion built into Final Cut Pro for Mac, you can view and adjust the ISO setting, exposure offset, and color temperature of ProRes RAW media using controls in the inspector.
You can also install a software plug-in from a camera manufacturer to view and adjust ProRes RAW camera settings optimized specifically for that manufacturer’s camera sensors.
Import ProRes RAW media into Final Cut Pro.
Important: When you import the media, make sure to deselect the “Create optimized media” and “Create proxy media” options, because any transcoding work done during import will be discarded if you adjust the RAW settings in the next steps.
Download the appropriate plug-in from the camera manufacturer’s website, and install it.
Import ProRes RAW media compatible with the plug-in.
Important: When you import the media, make sure to deselect the “Create optimized media” and “Create proxy media” options, because any transcoding work done during import will be discarded if you adjust the RAW settings in the next steps.
