I have recently started to use ProRes RAW quite a lot with my Panasonic S5 since I can see all of the benefits that it provides to me and my workflow. Since there's not much out there on the editing workflow with ProRes RAW, I thought i'd make a video going through the process of both shooting and editing ProRes RAW when using the Panasonic S5, or any other Lumix Full Frame Body.

I also wanted to include some ProRes RAW footage that was shot with the Panasonic S5 so you guys could see the sort of quality it gives you, since I know that RAW video with the Lumix S5 is a bit of a 'give or take' for some people. Although I have already compared the internal codecs of the Lumix S5 to the ProRes RAW footage, I still do think that despite the larger file sizes, there's definitely a massive plus to shooting RAW when it makes a difference.

ProRes RAW is very easy to edit in Final Cut Pro X, however sometimes it can be confusing whether to use an SDR or HDR workflow. Of course, most of the time it'd be wise to use SDR since scree technology is still within the realms of SDR, although more and more phones and monitors are becoming HDR compatible.

I will be making a video on HDR workflow with ProRes RAW in the future, so if you're interested in that then keep an eye out!
