Up until now, using compatible cameras’ footage to upload required third-party gear. According to Adobe, the C2C integration is now directly integrated into the cameras and needs neither extra hardware nor hard discs. Users of the RED V-Raptor and V-Raptor XL may immediately upload 8K RAW data from the camera to the cloud (this requires access to high-bandwidth WiFi or ethernet networks, of course). The method would enable “automatic delivery of [Video] files directly to production offices… for quick editing,” according to a blog post by Adobe.
Additionally, “proxy” processes are possible with RAW video and audio data that can be synchronized, color adjusted, and transcoded in the cloud. In English, this means that you could transmit little, simple video files all over the globe and instantly connect them to considerably higher-quality RAW footage for the final product. Adobe provides an example of this (above) by simultaneously sending an 8K RAW file, a proxy, an audio file, and a color correction “LUT” file.
