BRAW Files and Blackmagic Design Film
Blackmagic Design’s logarithmically encoded Blackmagic Design Film gamma setting, which
produces flat-contrast, wide-gamut image data that preserves image detail with a wide
latitude for adjustment, is a modified version of the standard Cineon curve. However, the
modifications are designed to emphasize the strengths of the sensors used by the
Blackmagic Design cameras. Similarly to working with clips using Cineon, the ARRI
ALEXA’s Log-C gamma, or Sony’s proprietary S-Log or S-Log2 formats, you need to normalize
clips using Blackmagic Design Film by using Resolve Color Management (RCM), by making a
manual adjustment to color and contrast, or by applying a LUT, using techniques
discussed previously.
Canon RAW
Canon RAW (CRW) is produced by a variety of Canon cameras.
Master Settings
These parameters let you choose the decode quality and method that raw clips will be transformed to
use when debayered.
– Decode Quality: Lets you debayer Canon RAW files at Full, Half, or Quarter resolution to improve
performance on slower systems. Lower resolution media is lower quality but faster to work with
and process. If necessary, you can choose a lower resolution setting that provides better real time
playback on systems with limited performance while you work, and then switch to a higher quality
when rendering the final output. A “Force debayer res to highest quality” checkbox in the Render
Settings list of the Deliver page makes it easy to follow this workflow.
– Decode Using: The option you select determines whether all Canon RAW media throughout the
project is decoded using the original Camera Metadata settings (the default selection), using
Project settings in which you choose custom settings to be applied to all clips, or using the Canon
RAW default settings.
Project Settings
Canon RAW has a variety of settings that can be adjusted to alter the image quality of the debayered
result. The Color Temp and Tint parameters are only available if the White Balance drop-down menu is
set to Custom.
– White Balance: The first seven options offer White Balance presets, which automatically adjust
the Color Temp and Tint parameters. These options include Daylight, Cloudy, Shade, Tungsten,
Fluorescent, and Flash. An eighth option, Custom, makes the Color Temp and Tint parameters
user-adjustable.
– Color Space: No color spaces are selectable at the time of this writing.
– Gamma: No gamma settings are selectable at the time of this writing.
– Tint: Color balance correction for images with a green or magenta color cast, such as fluorescent
or sodium vapor bulbs. 0 is unity. The range is –150 to +150.
– Sharpness: A debayer-specific sharpness filter applied to provide the appearance of enhanced
image detail. 20 is unity. The range is 0 to 100.
– Highlights: Makes it easy to selectively retrieve blown-out highlight detail in high-dynamic-range
media by lowering this parameter and achieves a smooth blend between the retrieved highlights
and the unadjusted midtones for a naturalistic result. 0 is unity. The range is –100 (minimum)
through +100 (maximum).
