Cinema RAW Development: What should the cinema raw files look like after export?

[coyotegyrl]

Hello Canon folks!

I'm just switching over to shooting RAW, and am fumbling my way through the Cinema RAW Development software. 

I am shooting on the C500mkii and have some test clips to play with. I've made a few changes in the development settings, and then sent a clip to the Export Queue. But the result is a folder with 300+ .dpx and .wav files in it.

I don't know what the result should look like but it is not ingestible into Final Cut this way. What am I missing or doing wrong?

I have a lot of questions about what my settings should be for color space, gamma, file format should be for the exports as well. 

I want to use the full resolution the camera can produce (5952x3140) because this will show in a visitor's center on a large screen.

Thank you for any insight you can provide.

I'm editing in Final Cut on a Mac Pro w/ an 8GB graphics card

Ok so first problem solved. You have to copy the clips from the card to a hard drive space. (duh!)

But I'll go back to some other questions: 

What should my choices be for color space, gamma, and file format (knowing this will show in a theater and we want the highest quality possible. the manual doesn't define any of these choices)? Thanks!

Hello coyotegyrl,

I'm glad to hear that you were able to get the main thing resolved. In terms of the picture settings, this will mostly rely on your external items (viewing methods). Some will require post-production processing. They were designed to make the most of the imaging sensor characteristics in order to obtain impressive levels of dynamic range. I have included a link to the manual which describes the options HERE for more reference. It starts on page 133.
