| - | The postproduction workflow with the BMPCC depends a lot on the settings with which you shot your material. Unless you shoot in the Video-Mode, you need to do some adjustments image to make it look visually pleasing. This can be done either before you start editing by creating color graded copies of your original clips (proxies), during editing (by applying color correction in the editing program), or after editing in a color grading step. | + | The postproduction workflow with the BMPCC depends a lot on the settings with which you shot your material.

| The Material that comes out with "FILM" setting from the BMPCC needs to be Postprocessed, since it lacks contrast, gamma and saturation. There are several ways to do so, the easiest to apply a ready made LookUp Table (LUT). This can be done either in a color grading software like Blackmagics Davinci Resolve or in your favourite editing software directly. Applying a LUT can be compared to what selecting a preset with "normal" video cameras was. | The Material that comes out with "FILM" setting from the BMPCC needs to be Postprocessed, since it lacks contrast, gamma and saturation.

| - | Recording RAW images in general means that the image of the sensor is read out without any camera-internal manipulation. Each of the Images is stored as a single (lossless compressed) DNG Image file which contains the image data plus the Camera Settings you used during shooting - but only as meta data. So if you set a White Balance while shooting in Raw-Mode, this is not directly applied in-camera but will be in the process of "developing" the digital negative. The advantage of raw files is a 12-Bit Color depth compared to Prores, the disadvantage is a huge volumes of data being recorded. This means that you need a very fast SD-Card and the according setup to transfer, store and backup this data. | + | Recording RAW images in general means that the image of the sensor is read out without any camera-internal manipulation.
