<figure><img src="/files/PMiojAQUtKhxNXQequSf" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The CinemaDNG RAW Properties Panel provides full control over how **CinemaDNG** files are decoded, processed, and color-managed for both playback and export.

***

**Decode & Color Settings**

* **Decode Quality**\
  Adjusts the playback and render quality of CinemaDNG RAW footage. Higher settings yield better image fidelity at the cost of performance.
* **Log Processing**\
  Sets the **Log Color Space** used when decoding the CinemaDNG RAW file.
* **Destination Color Level**\
  Choose how the output color range is handled or converted:

  * **Full Range (Label)** – Default; tags output as Full Range

  * **Full Range (Convert)** – Converts from Video Range to Full Range

  * **Video Range (Label)** – Tags output as Video Range

  * **Video Range (Convert)** – Converts from Full Range to Video Range

  > These options are especially helpful when using LUTs that change the effective range of the image.
* **Resolution**\
  Set the output resolution of the decoded image and optionally crop **width** and **height** independently.
