How would I export a RAW image sequence?

[Karel Bata]

I've got some stuff shot on a RED One and want to convert that to a RAW image sequence (there's a prog I'm using that will only work with single RAW images).

How do I do that? Been driving me nuts this!

I'm on a Mac, and have FCP and CS5.

Cheers! :emote_hippie:

Does that program read r3D's?

In case: I am curious which program it is.

Are you asking how do you export a SINGLE raw image from the video image? If so, i'm not aware of any way you can do this with R3d. Only what RCX will allow you to transcode to....Tiff, JPG, etc......

 

[Gunleik Groven]

You can export single-frame r3d's from RCX.

I am just curious where he wants to import a sequence of them...

I'm guessing he's doing something with Photoshop or Lightroom or something similar.

To answer the original question: Not possible. You can export single-frame R3Ds, yes, but those aren't readable by any photographic apps. I'm assuming by "Export RAW" you mean "Export to DNG/CR2/NEF/Etc" and there's no way to do that.

It's for some tests to try to create moving HDR images for which we need to process a RAW sequence. I'm aware the resultant RAW images will be HUGE.

No easy way then of de-compressing the R3D to RAW then..?

There are many different flavors of RAW for stills cameras. R3D IS a flavor of RAW, but only readable by the appropriate software. You get all the latitude in a 16 bit TIFF, though, which can be exported from RCX and is read by most HDR software.
Don't expect too much, though, IMHO all current HDR software is working well only for stills. You'll see strange fluctuations in motion, if Sanjin is not proving to the contrary (check the HDRx thread under Recon).

(check the HDRx™ thread under Recon).

Bloody hell!
