Chronos 1.4 RAW conversion tool - pyraw2dng
BlackthorneMedia:
Yes, forgot that you ahve to make it executable.
That and please make sure you are running the command from the directory where the script is.
E.G. cd (change directory) so you run the command from the folder where the script and files are.

I've gone down the RAW rabbit hole and the results are so good it makes it painful to use the standard compression now. Thanks to everyone that gave instructions on what worked for them, helped me tremendously.
Just curious if the current workflow is the same for everyone or if there have been optimized processes since a few months ago.
Currently have a 128gig USB formatted to EXT3 to save everything over 4gigs then using pyraw2dng to convert into DNG and then After Effects makes the video creation super easy. Firmware is updated to most recent version.
I guess I'm wondering if there is a faster way to get RAW vids out of the chronos 1.4. Is ethernet the only other option? Has anyone tried ethernet transfer? Wondering if Ethernet cable somehow rigged into a portable hard-drive would be possible. With live subjects it's gonna be hard to wait 30mins between each shoot while the video saves.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
Thanks

Can someone that really understands the RAW process, condense the knowledge into a single post with steps so us non technical noobs can try it out? I would very much appreciate it

Hi all,
I really want to try out the raw footage on the Chronos but I am struggling to edit the footage. I am a Mac user, can anyone explain how I can create the dng's on a Mac or will I have to use a PC to transcode them?
thanks
Milo

The 0.3.1-beta-9 version of the camera software can save directly to dng format, no need to transcode. Are you using a monochrome or color camera? DNG's saved directly from a monochrome cameras currently have compatibility issues with some software. We're working on a fix for this.
If you have to convert a raw file that has already been saved, you can just follow the directions for linux, as they should work on a Mac too. https://github.com/krontech/chronos-utils/blob/master/python_raw2dng/README.md
