Using DaVinci Resolve
Shooting with your Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera is only part of the process of creating
film and television content, and just as important is the process of media backup and
management as well as editing, color correction and encoding final master files. Your
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera includes a version of DaVinci Resolve for Mac and Windows
so you have a complete solution for shooting and post production!
NOTE We recommend using the latest version of DaVinci Resolve for accurate color
treatment of clips shot using Pocket Cinema Camera. Version 17 or later will provide
accurate color for all Blackmagic cameras and the latest Blackmagic RAW features.
After connecting your CFast, SD card or SSD to your computer, you can use DaVinci Resolve’s
‘clone’ tool, in the ‘media’ page, to create running backups as you shoot. This is recommended
as any type of media is susceptible to becoming damaged or developing a fault so creating
backups means your shots will be immune to loss. Once you have used DaVinci Resolve to
backup your media, you can then add your clips to the DaVinci media pool, then edit, color
correct, and finish your production without ever having to leave DaVinci Resolve.
DaVinci Resolve is the same tool used on most major blockbuster movies, so it’s much more
than a simple NLE software tool, as it has extremely advanced technology built in for high end
digital film. You get the advantage of this technology when you use DaVinci Resolve to edit and
color correct your work.
Included here is information on how to get started using DaVinci Resolve with your camera files.
Of course, DaVinci Resolve is extremely advanced and includes a lot more features than you
immediately see when first looking at its user interface. To learn more about how to use
DaVinci Resolve, please check for the DaVinci Resolve instruction manual on the Blackmagic
website, where you can also find many training courses and tutorial videos.
Project Manager
Before you import your clips and start editing, you will need to set up your project using the
project manager.
The project manager is the first screen you will see when launching DaVinci Resolve, but you
can open the manager at any time by clicking on the ‘home’ icon at the bottom right of the user
interface. This is helpful when you want to open previous projects and create new ones.
