Hi Folks,
I've just picked up the X5R and am looking for some tutorial on workflow and grading the DNG files. I shot the Steam Locomotive 'The Flying Scotsman' crossing the Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland last sunday and then immediatley uploaded the footage to my FB page using the microSD H.264 proxy footage. I did this just for speed as it was a bit of a local news item which fortunately gave my business a bit of exposure. I'm looking for some online tutorials or advice on handling the files. I've been experimenting with Davinci Resolve and reckon thats the way forward. What do you all use!?
Here's the video....
Thanks in advance
Peter

Very smooth flying and pans. Nice work. Sorry I haven't upgraded from the X5 yet but my best advice is that you can use Lightroom, or Photoshop with Camera Raw for color grading. DNG files auto open in Camera Raw when you use Photoshop. Open all files you wish to grade, color correct a single file then select all and sync. In Lightroom you would then export. In Photoshop just click done and treat the files as you would normally. for editing.

Well done, I was just going to say I hope he pulls back to get some more perspective at 1:13, and just like you read my mind, You did it, so cool.

I love it- donnie
