Just received a bunch of greenscreen supplied as Canon Raw .CRM Anyone got any tips on getting this into Flame? ---

Convert them in Resolve to something Flame can read, like proRes with some standard colorspace like Alexa LogC. Or [drastik mediareactor](https://www.drastic.tv/productsmenu-56/mediareactorlist/mediareactor-for-autodesk) for Flame can help. But I’d choose first option ---

Thanks Val - thought that would be the case but was hoping for easier solution - got about 100 clips so better get started ☹ ---

I’d say it will take 5 minutes for Resolve project setup + some time for rendering (on a beefy system should be faster then real time). And, if you fine with UHD file resolution free version will do the job. ---

> [@mike](#): > > premiere If it could decode this files to something known to Flame colourspace wise - you good to go. Never use Premiere for such type of a job. And, maybe, it would be better to use Media Encoder to get batch encoding ---

Yes I meant batch out thru via Media Encoder. It will do it but colour space Export options are only: Rec 709, Rec 2100 HLG and Rec 2100 PQ. I tested Rec 709 and still appears as log when imported into Flame as unknown? ---

Need to see it in person and do some test, sorry. Is there a chance you could share one file? ---

Media Encoder is a prosumer product in my humble opinion. Great for deliverables but I wouldn’t approach it with a 2 meter (6 foot) stick for transcoding original material. Remember the render quality options on Adobe products: good, better, best… 😃 Resolve would be your best option… ---

haha I hear you Sinan but working remotely with no access to Resolve Studio (6K clips). tested ME with 16bit proRes max render quality output and seems to be all good ---

I managed it recently Mike, using Affinity pro…workflow discussed here…although I needed them to come in linear so had to go this route > [@Cr2 to flame](https://forum.logik.tv/t/cr2-to-flame/4623): > > hi all best way to get cr2 into flame with the full dynamic range ? photoshop is not happening . I set the photoshop “colour settings” to aces CG linear, then in the raw import menu when bringing in the cr2, set it to aces CGlinear, 16 bit…and it still throws away data, and clips. Having done some online reading up, seems adobe are all about what you see on screen in rgb, and so they seem to be converting it always anyway back to their rgb screen profile. maybe resolve can do it ? or nuke ? a… ---

Thanks Paul. I’m comping in ACEs cg but I ended up using Canons Cinema Raw Development app to transcode to proRes 4444 keeping shooting settings. Apart from loads of processing time it’s working a treat ---
