The import process isn't multi-threaded in Premiere Pro one thread is pegged, but the rest are idle. But it takes a long, long, long time maybe an hour for a 3-minute clip. I don't know exactly how slow, because I don't have enough time to sit there and watch it. And it is slow, despite the fact that I am importing them from a 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SSD, on a 6-core/12-thread 4.0GHz beast of a CPU. So instead I select all 1,464 DNG files from the first clip, and import them. Why? I don't know this is absolutely an image sequence, but this doesn't work. Except that I can't select it, as it is disabled. So I navigate to the first directory, click the first DNG file, and select the Image Sequence checkbox at the bottom of the dialog, as I do for importing time-lapse images from my camera. But I can only do one directory at a time! Which sucks, because I wanted to start this process at bed time, and have it be done when I woke up. I have to import each subdirectory individually. Another pain I can't simply point Premiere Pro to the SlimRaw output directory, and tell it to import all files it finds underneath.

Next up, importing the SlimRaw DNGs into Premiere Pro. And the resulting DNG files are Premiere Pro compatible. It processed the footage at 33.0 frames/second, and saved 6% of the storage space. Damon Cooper said he was going to talk to the Premiere Pro product manager about getting this supported directly it would be wonderful to get this fixed.ĭamon Cooper also mentioned that SlimRaw can be used to fix this problem. I'm not sure who to be more pissed at DJI, for writing to a format that the #1 editing software can't import, or Adobe, for creating the DNG standard, but not fully supporting it in their editing software.

The resulting DNG files could not be imported into Premiere Pro.
Slimraw x5r driver#
My guess is that the driver upgrade turned my USB 3.0 port into a USB 2.0 port. According to the time stamps, I imported 30,493 DNG frames (totaling 230GB) in 2 hours and 6 minutes, or about 4 frames/second. So now I can import all of the footage, but incredibly slowly. I solved that problem by upgrading my USB driver from the Gigabyte web site. What a pain.įirst, I couldn't even get the DNG files off the SSD it would dismount after a few hundred frames. Edit: I have solved the problems that I whine about below: 1) USB problems, 2) Premiere Pro import problems.Īt this point, calling it a "workflow" is ridiculous, as there is simply no flow at all.
