Blackmagic RAW Properties

This panel provides full control over how Blackmagic RAW (BRAW) footage is processed, allowing for precise adjustments to color science, gamma, resolution, and image processing parameters.

Color Settings

  • Color Science Choose the color science version used to interpret and process the BRAW file.

  • Color Primaries Select the set of color primaries to define the chromaticity of the source.

  • Color Gamma Adjust the gamma curve applied to the image during processing.
