Working with Blackmagic RAW Files

Blackmagic RAW clips give you maximum flexibility in post production. This lets you make
adjustments to clips, such as white balance and ISO settings, as if you were changing the
original camera settings. Working with Blackmagic RAW also retains more tonal information
within shadows and highlights, which is useful for recovering details, for example in blown out
skies and dark areas of the picture.
It's worth shooting in Blackmagic RAW if you are after the highest possible quality, or for shots
where there is an extreme variance between highlights and shadows and you may need to
push and pull those regions as much as possible in the grade.
The speed and small file size of Blackmagic RAW means you don't need to make proxy files
and playback is just like a standard video clip. This section of the manual describes the features
of Blackmagic RAW and how to use Blackmagic RAW files in your DaVinci Resolve workflow.
About Blackmagic RAW
When shooting Blackmagic RAW on Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, part of the RAW
processing is removed from the software and calculated real time in camera. This improves the
post production process with faster transfer speeds, smaller file sizes and better read speeds.
Blackmagic RAW is an intelligent format, understanding the characteristics of your camera and
sensor. In addition to the other metadata your camera files contain, DaVinci Resolve can read
your selected dynamic range so your clips will automatically display in DaVinci Resolve with
'film', 'extended video' or 'video'.
If you have selected 'film' or 'extended video' as your dynamic range in camera, you can
customize these settings by adjusting the saturation, contrast and midpoint, as well as the
highlight and shadow rolloff. Any adjustments can then be saved as a sidecar file, so the
changes can be seen by anyone else working with the files in post. You can always return to
the original camera metadata at any time.
This also means you can copy your media for another DaVinci Resolve user and they will have
access to your modified gamma settings automatically on import.
