Put a DNG into Resolve, enjoy a node based workflow, use this plugin, and export the frame at the same res :)

Oh cool, for some reason I did not expect resolve to support DNGs!

At the risk of sounding rude but I truly do not mean to be, what part of digital negative eluded you from making the connection to being usable in Resolve? Don't worry, I've had some very plain-as-the-nose-on-my-face obvious things that eventually hit me like a ton of bricks for realizing how obvious it was after having it pointed out to me.

I've shot Canon RAW time lapse for quite some time, and always wanted to bring the RAW sequences directly into Resolve but they always looked at me like I had 3 heads when I'd talk to them directly about it. Eventually, they just suggest converting to DNGs and then go have fun. (I'm wondering if there was a tiff between Canon and BMD for licensing???) Also, before Blackmagic's RAW format, their cinema cameras recorded in DNG sequences.

You do sound a bit rude. It’s certainly not a given. I know probably more than most here about DNGs and other image processing. Check my profile/websites.

I have a camera that shoots cinemaDNG, but I would not necessarily expect resolve to support a single dng frame. Plenty of dumb things out there, and no need to be snarky when someone learns something.

Indeed! A lot of the software is divided at most by 'industry verbiage' than it is genuine interop...

Love your website/blog... Phase deserve pinning every now and then ;)

Thank you! Phase gear is much more affordable these days with the x1d/x2d and GFX series eating their lunch a bit :)

Plus you still get Capture One for free still with them...

It's the fact they're all dog slow that levels the playing field, at least for me! I have a 907X and it's a love hate relationship... Down to the log files being encrypted.

Indeed! I have been really tempted by a 907x… Sad to hear they are so locked down. The IQ series has plain text logs at least! And the IQ4 is linux…gpl… ;)

I definitely bin walked those files! Spent a decade as a DIT and flew around with everything from the p45 to the iq150 over the years!

Not usable in hard workflow.
