It used to work for me too, but now it’s not. I could right click on the clip in the timeline and select source settings. I discovered that was recently grayed out and I had to right click on the file in the project timeline. Now that is grayed out too. I can’t figure out why.

Yes! F key does the trick on CC 2014. For years I’ve been doing a workaround. Finally decided to check on this forum and voilà!

I inherited a Mac Pro 12-Core with a ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics card. Does anyone know if the Quadro 4000 will significantly outperform this? With CS6 I primarily use Premiere Pro and After Effects. Thanks!

Very cool Peter! I like the idea of shooting ProRes and having the RAW option for projects that require it.

Great information. Thank you! The BMCC manual makes the workflow seem easy:

Step 1. Shoot with Blackmagic Cinema Camera and record to CinemaDNG RAW files.
Step 2. Take the SSD out of the camera and dock it to your computer via an SSD dock with a fast Thunderbolt, USB 3.0 or eSATA connection.
Step 3. Bring the media into Resolve 9.
Step 4. Apply a basic grade in Resolve 9 and render out to Apple ProRes, DNxHD or other formats.
Step 5. Edit the files in popular NLE software such as Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer or Adobe Premiere Pro.
Step 6. When finished editing, export an XML or AAF file.
Step 7. Import the XML or AAF file into Resolve 9 and conform with the original CinemaDNG images for maximum creative control.
Step 8. Grade the edited timeline in Resolve 9 to complete the project.

Unfortunately, Step 7 seems the most complicated for a Resolve newbie. There are 130 pages about conforming in the Resolve manual.

As far as Raw Therapee, it doesn’t look like there’s a version for Mac OSX 10.8 yet.

All I do is web video, and it seems like maybe the 5D MKIII might be a much easier beast to deal with. With that said, I’ll watch for the release of the BMCC and see how people are handling it.

Thanks again.

I’ve searched for the copy solution to, but to no avail. It used to be ctrl+i and ctrl+o, then you could copy the selection in FCP. Maybe we need to do a feature request.

Great, thank you. So, I’m trying to understand the “13 Stop Dynamic Range” that’s on their website https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagiccinemacamera/. I love the final color graded shot they show.

Say I chose to shoot in ProRes instead of RAW for ease of workflow. If ProRes is the baked file that holds about 1 stop less DR than RAW, will I be able to come close to that final color graded image? Will I basically have a 12 stop dynamic range shooting to ProRes?

Okay, this was weird. I had both the video and audio tracks selected, but my only option was “unlink” even though they were never linked. I selected “unlink” anyway, then selected them both again and now have the “link” menu option available. I created the shortcut “Command + L” so it operates like FCP now. Still would be nice if you could link multiple clips at the same time, but that’s how it was with FCP too. I’m sure there’s a reason…

Thanks a ton for your response. I’ll read up on the manual and test it out in my next situation and report back.

Thanks! I’m going to give the Behringer a try. Price is right at $65.
