ProRes RAW Example Footage Download

I just uploaded 5 clips to wetranfsfer in two batches - see links below. I don't know if the links will be deleted by the moderator but you should get an email notification which will have the links as well.

The first three files were shot indoors using a 5500K approx video light. I used auto white balance for the first two shots and the third I set to 3000K tungsten so it is really blue. Correcting them to 5500K demonstrates the power of shooting raw.

Files 4 and 5 were shot outdoors and I exposed so as to go as close to clipping as possible on the clouds without going over the top and actually clipping. They might look clipped when you import them into FCP but you can use the ProRes Raw adjustment dialog to bring them back and they are fine - no clipping. They really demonstrate the power of raw again in recovering highlights that might look clipped as well as the ability of the Nikon sensor to capture highlight detail.

Good luck

I'm just this very minute testing an old manual focus lens on my Nikon Z9 with a very simple setup - an X-Rite Color Checker Passport on a table with various codecs including ProRes Raw. You are welcome to a couple of short clips to see how they import into FCP if you like. The WB, ISO and exposure settings can all be adjusted in FCP. Let me know if you want them.

I put them on WeTransfer here

You should see the link in the email notification if it's not available on the forum.

Ok no worries. It'll be tomorrow as it's past my bedtime now. I'll post to WeTransfer and let you know when they're up.

"Wow Clint! What a kind person you are, an angel."

HaHa - I'm no angel Loca Alicia - believe me. The last person to call me an angel was my mother and her judgement might have been a bit distorted. Like the others here including yourself, it's a pleasure to help people especially when they appreciate the help so it's a big de nada from me. You are welcome to download the clips - no problem at all.

Glad it was useful. It is quite amazing when you change the white balance from the tungsten setting to match the daylight setting. The RGB parade scopes are almost identical. I must do another test under the same conditions for ProRes 422 and HEVC to see what happens. I expect the matching will not be as good.

I'm afraid I've deleted the original files and I haven't time to redo right now. If anyone subscribed to the thread has saved the files, they are welcome to upload them for further downloading.

It's a simple thing to do anyway and the conclusions are very straightforward: shooting ProRes Raw gives great latitude for modifying white balance in post.

Let me know if you want them.

Wow Clint! What a kind person you are, an angel.

Yes! I don't have a camera that can shoot in RAW format. I would like to verify your valuable data.

Thank you for sharing this Clint.

No problem Tom. I'm happy to share example footage.
