The 3D LUT can then be easily toggled 'on' or 'off' but will always travel with the Blackmagic
RAW file as it is written into the clip itself. DaVinci Resolve also has an 'Apply LUT' switch in the
RAW settings palette for enabling or disabling the 3D LUT in the Blackmagic RAW file.
The 'Apply LUT' setting in DaVinci Resolve is the same setting as in the camera. This means that
when shooting you can direct the colorist to use the LUT by setting it in the camera, but they
can switch it off easily in DaVinci Resolve by setting 'Apply LUT' to 'off'.
Entering Metadata
Metadata is information saved inside your clip, such as take numbers, camera settings and
other identifying details. This is extremely useful when sorting and processing footage in
post production. For example, take, shot and scene numbers are essential organisational tools,
while lens information can be used to automatically remove distortion or better match
VFX assets to plates.
Your Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera automatically saves some metadata to each clip, such
as camera settings, timecode, date and time. You can use your camera's slate to add many
additional details.
Slate
Swipe left or right on your camera's touchscreen from the main view to bring up the slate.
The slate is divided into 'clip' and 'project' tabs. The 'clip' tab contains information that may vary
clip by clip, while 'project' is where you enter details common between clips, such as the project
name, director, and camera and operator ID.
TIP
Metadata entered into the slate is viewable on the HDMI output when 'display
status text for' is set to 'director' on the 'monitor' tab. See the 'monitor settings' section
in this manual for more information.
'Clip' metadata
Making changes to clip metadata works differently in standby mode to playback mode. In
standby mode, when your camera is ready to record, clip metadata gets saved to the next clip
recorded, except the 'good take last clip' button applies a 'good take' tag to the most recently
recorded clip. In playback mode, when you are reviewing footage already shot, the 'good take'
button is shown and clip metadata is always attached to the current clip being viewed.
When the camera is in playback mode, 'slate for' identifies the clip the
slate applies to and shows the 'good take' button. In standby mode, the
slate is for 'next clip' and shows the 'good take last clip' button.
