When shooting video gamma, the file stays in film gamma, and the metadata tells the
Blackmagic RAW processing to display using video gamma. Video gamma is great when you
don’t want to grade the image and want to deliver content quickly, however if you want to pull
up the black parts of the image, or pull down the white areas, all the detail is retained.
Younever clip the video and all the detail is still there if you want to access it at any time.
Blackmagic RAW in DaVinci Resolve
Settings can be adjusted for each Blackmagic RAW file, and then saved as a new sidecar file
from the RAW tab in DaVinci Resolve for creative effect or optimized viewing. This also means
you can copy your media for another DaVinci Resolve artist and they will have access to your
modified gamma settings automatically on import. 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’ dynamic range.
You can then customize these settings by adjusting the saturation, contrast and midpoint,
aswell as the highlight and shadow rolloff. Any adjustments can then be saved as a sidecar file,
sothe 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.
You can also export a single Blackmagic RAW frame from the RAW tab in DaVinci Resolve,
which contains all adjustments, metadata, full resolution and color information so it is easy to
share a single frame grab or reference file with others.
For more information on how to use Blackmagic RAW in DaVinci Resolve, see the ‘Using
DaVinci Resolve’ chapter in this manual.
Blackmagic RAW SoftwareDevelopment Kit
The Blackmagic RAW Software Development Kit is an API developed by Blackmagic Design.
You can use the Blackmagic RAW SDK to write your own applications to use the Blackmagic
RAW format. This SDK library can be used by any developer to add support for reading, editing,
and saving Blackmagic RAW files. The Blackmagic RAW SDK includes all the generation 4 and
generation 5 color science so you can achieve organic cinematic images across any app that
supports it. The Blackmagic RAW SDK supports Mac, Windows and Linux, and is available
as a free download from the developer page of the Blackmagic website at
www.blackmagicdesign.com/developer
The following diagram illustrates the components of the Blackmagic RAW API:
