Yeah, the Phantoms I've worked with needed to be black balanced after every take.   The Windows app for de-whatevering the files used to be...quirky.  Hopefully it's better now!

Way back when, we use to get ProRes4444 as well.

Also as a heads up when dealing with Phantom footage, if you see horizontal striping or weird lines through any clips. Strong chance the camera wasn't black balanced before shooting. We actually had to hire a paint artist to remove that stuff by hand on green screen footage. Production paid for that mistake big time. :)

I did a Phantom shoot today. I usually get the DIT to transcode the clips to ProRes 444 and give me the cine files as backup.

Phantom provided free software to convert them although it was Windows only last time I looked.

I have a Phantom shoot coming up and I am wondering about workflow. How do you work with Phantom footage inside AE? I know I can bring cine raw into Premiere natively but, I can't send that sequence into AE. Any tips?
