This is particularly interesting as we now have another option in addition to the just announced deal from ATOMOS, who offer a full license of ASSIMILATE Player Pro with their Ninja V/V+ monitors/recorders for transcoding ProRes RAW to more NLE-friendly formats. Once done, you can easily edit the exported files using your favorite NLE without having to worry about RAW support. image credit: HedgeĮditReady does this by converting camera RAW footage into the Log format native to the camera manufacturer. The latest version, which is also the first new version of EditReady since it became part of Hedge, solves the problem of quickly converting RAW footage to an editable format (according to Hedge, Sony and Canon RAW formats are “on the way”). This includes formats like ARRI RAW, Codex HDE, ProRes RAW and RED R3D, as well as Blackmagic RAW. This approach seems pretty neat and clutter-free to me! EditReady RAWĪnother tool from Hedge is called EditReady, and it has been taking care of video transcoding for an astonishing 14 years… and with the latest update it is now ready to process RAW files as well. So Elements makes sure that everything the recipient of the files in question needs in terms of provided metadata will be gathered along the way. As Hedge moves data from camera cards and other storage sources, a “review” panel will pop up to prompt the operator to insert the required data. They do this by creating a preset that they send to Hedge operators during the data transfer. So to ensure that video files always have the correct information, tailored to the specific needs of an individual workflow, this release of Hedge introduces Elements.Ĭrucially, people who receive files can now specify what elements of information they need to organize and process those files. A colorist needs information about the color space used…. An editor refers to scene/take numbers as metadata. For a camera operator, metadata means camera, reel number and lens data. According to Hedge, the term “metadata” is not consistently defined across roles and departments. It’s very important to keep track of files: Knowing what they’re for, where they came from and why they’re important is a critical part of a modern video workflow. Paul Matthijs, co-founder and CEO of Hedge Hedge ElementsĮlements is Hedge’s term for the varied and customizable metadata that users can now associate (and keep) with a file to clarify the role of that file to other creative and technical professionals later in the workflow. Today, we’re proud to announce Hedge Elements, EditReady RAW, and Canister Spanning and Preflight Checks: three major updates that we can pretty much guarantee will make your life as a video professional easier.
