Premiere is a freakin dinosaur compared to Davinci. If you are doing anything without a ton of VFX Davinci is the way to go especially with a lot of the control you get in color. Premiere feels like windows vista when it Wa at its worst.
You could always combine the power of both. I typically render out proxy files in davinci resolve, link those in Premiere, do my edit, then round trip back to Resolve for grading. It's a few extra steps, but makes the whole process very smooth in terms of how it runs.
I've gone that route lots over the years but the round trip doesn't always go smoothly particularly with speed ramping and compositing. Unless its a high end project, I generally prefer to pre-grade the raw into full size Prores422 and finalize the grade in Premiere.
Davinci offloads the demosaicing of the RAW sensor data to the GPU premiere only offloads other functions. Davinci has really efficient vectorization of the algorithms. CPU sucks for image processing vs GPU that has lots of simple hardware math engines that can work in parallel.
I’ve been messing around with transcoding and I realize that transcoding it to ProRes will fill up your hard drive faster than CRM files. Also, talking head or not, you keep all the metadata unlike ProRes. Let me know though, if you find it differently at your end.
I prefer to just work from the CRM but I can only really do that in DaVinci Resolve. If I need premiere I have to transcode. I do find ProresLT is enough though for most projects and does take up less space.
I did a video about how I expose. I need to do one specifically on low-light, but ultimately making sure you get enough exposure is critical as well as understanding how much the shadows have to come down for grading. Check out my How to expose C200 ruclips.net/video/zaoMxh6VfMY/видео.html And How to avoid noise ruclips.net/video/WyrvAkC2y4Q/видео.html
The images at the beginning of the video have some stunning colors. Would love to see an upload about your grading process-both previously in Premiere and now in Resolve, if you can manage it. ☺️ Great work.
Whats your transcoding process? Whenever I transcode the raw files to prores I end up with bigger files than the originals.. I appreciate any thoughts/feedback. Thanks!
Depends on what I’m doing with the project if it’s just for the web prores LT or proxy are fine. HQ is not that much smaller than raw-light so I only use that if I know I need highest quality but am not going back to the raw files.
Hi Brother, I own a c200 but really disappointed when setting the iso to 800. The noise level is very high even on raw footage. So I always prefer to shoot with 200 iso. Which gives fantastic quality. Could you please advise how the internal settings are and how often you do black balance .. Am I missing some internal settings? Please help.
I just did a video on this. Short answer is that you are likely under exposing Look for the video called: How to get Perfect Exposure on the C200 | C-Log, C-Log2, C-Log3
I switched to Resolve lately after using premiere for years. I was shocked how worst premiere is in terms of playback. Just make sure your footage and timeline resolution match. By default it is set to 1080p
Really liking your content! I just ordered my C300 Miii and I’m curious what type of Mac you’re running. I have the 2013 trash can 8-core Dual 700 GPU. Have a great one!
hello, please be aware that there c200 has troubles working with 1TB cfast2.0 cards as the one you’ve promoted in your thumbnail. don’t get me wrong, angelbird is a great company, and i only use their cards. the problem is the c200 firmware. i wouldn’t use cards with more space then 256GB, because the c200 sometimes fails reading 1TB cards. angelbird got in touch with canon to fix the issue, but i’m not aware about a firmware update yet, regarding this problem.
I can confirm this. The card sometimes has issues being recognized after power cycling. It just needs to be popped out and put back for it to work again but it is a pain. Thanks for your suggetions.
@@BenSchubert know you know. not the card, but the cam's firmware is the problem. popping in and out worked for me for a certain time until it got worse. it was the moment i was on a shoot for a customer, where it all of the sudden didn't worked at all anymore. think about replacing them maybe.
Nice footage. I've been thinking the same thing regarding resolve - be interested to see how your 30 days go. One other workflow you can consider is using the proxies, I haven't used them on the C200 yet but I used to do that a few years ago with the Blackmagic Production Camera 4k raw. It works but the XML roundtrip can be frustrating when you're trying to wrap things up at the 11th hour for a client and something won't match up.

Great videos! i work with a canon c200 but i cant figure out the best export settings in premiere! Do you have any recommendations?

for handheld footage on c200 the stabilizer in Resolve (free) is insanely good.
yah, I love it. Compared to premiere its so much better and its GPU based so processes so much faster!
Great to know. Thanks for sharing.

How do you deal with the c200 in low light? How do you expose? ISO shall still give me the lowest noise level, right?!

Thanks. I’ve done proxies. It’s my typical workflow with Raw formats. It’s nice to know there is an option where I can just edit the footage natively.
