I know we have no control over other applications, especially closed source commercial apps but isn't there some sort of a standard that is supposed to be followed when working with DNG files? Seems like nobody is following these standards, not even Adobe and they invented DNG.In v16 (look in next paragraph for v17) it only works when you export "Individual clips" in Deliver page, so if you have more than just a single clip with alpha to be exported, then you gotta first combine these clips into a solid block, such as compound clip (select the clips for export, right click, choose New Compound Clip). just to apply a setting that is already set in the DNG file. That would also keep us from having to dig through menus, settings, adjust nodes, etc. What would be great is if the different software developers would use the metadata saved in DNG files so that whatever grade or image manipulation you made in one app will display properly on another app. Open the same file in Resolve and you're back to square one. Play with the settings in ACR and next time you open that DNG file in ACR you'll see that those settings were saved. Open a DNG file exported from MLV App in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and except for the aspect ratio setting we've been discussing, it looks like an un-manipulated file. We can do all sorts of image manipulating in MLV App which is great when exporting any other file format but if you export to DNG these settings don't show up in other applications. Now for the part that isn't making sense to me when working with DNG files.
These DNG files will have the focus pixels removed, converted Dual ISO and whatever else you want to do in MLV App saved in the output file. In any case, there's the option to export in uncompressed, lossless or lossy (fast pass) DNG format. It might slow down importing the files but it would be a nice feature. Message to the MLV App developers: I believe there is a way to automatically check if an MLV is Dual ISO.
Converting Dual ISO in MLV App and MLVFS is done before exporting to DNG. Why? You need to convert the MLV files to another format and Resolve works fine with DNG files.
