Using After Effects takes ages to load in the DNGs and to render out to a video file compared to … it seems like maybe PP just assumes TIFFs are sRGB and doesn’t look at TIFF metadata … Anyway, I’ll see.
I have the best solution advice for all this that you’ve ever heard. You are dealing with all kinds of big digital picture things it seems. Well, I recommend you:
- turn all the picture things into 240p resolution
- save them all as jpg with quality slider moved down to “3”
and finally, erase every other frame and set the frame rate to 12 frames per second.
All these steps will make the file thingies much easier to wrangle, will save you 8% hard drive space, etc., yay! 😃
Big j/k of course. Your work/efforts here are over my head in a number of ways (I’ve never had/come across a DNG file in my life). Thanks for sharing your trials and tribulations, 'tis interesting and informative! May these bumps all smooth out…without you having to do the steps I suggested above 😃
