4K and Higher Resolutions: Workflow Overview
The following illustrates the typical workflow for 5.9K/4K recording with this camera.
 Shoot in 5.9K/4K mode (A 62).
 You can record 5.9K/4K RAW or 4K YCbCr 4:2:2 data on a CFexpress card in the camera, or record
4K data using an external recorder connected to the camera’s SDI OUT or HDMI OUT terminal
(A 143).
• Clips other than 5.9K/4K RAW need no further processing and can be color graded directly (step ).
 While recording 5.9K/4K RAW clips, you can simultaneously record 2K proxy clips on an SD card.
• The file names of 2K proxy clips (XF-AVC) and 5.9K/4K RAW clips are linked and identical for the most part
(A 59).
 After recording, develop the 5.9K/4K RAW clips using the Cinema RAW Development software
(A 152) to generate full-quality data.
• You can also generate proxy data.
 You can use the 2K proxy clips recorded on the SD card or proxy files generated by Cinema RAW
Development on NLE software to edit the video offline and create an EDL.
 Perform color grading based on the full-quality data.
