RAW video

From the start of film editing there has always been destructive editing. An image is only ever destructive had it be altered in any way such as splicing film reels. Any alteration of digital footage can be classed as destructive editing.
RAW films specific to filming on Red cameras uses rmd files in the same way that photoshop use xmp files. rmd and xmp files take the main information such as white balance, colour levels and exposure. The computer then uses this information to adapt the file in a live environment without actually effecting the properties of the file. Thus leaving us with the master file completely undamaged until satisfied with the result.
This will help me in a filming situation with saving hardrive space, the RAW file will hold all the colour grading information from the camera allowing me to alter and experiment without effecting the original image. Making it full reversible.
