unfortunately I don't run Windows, even not in Bootcamp and I don't have plans to change it.

What am I missing?

Conversion to Cineform Raw gives you much smaller files, but which retain all or nearly all the original RAW data. So these become your originals, and are much easier to handle and edit in any number of NLEs, whatever your sequence of editing and color correction may be.

The alternative is remaining in Resolve and probably not getting full playback capabilities and accepting its NLE limitations, or creating multiple versions, proxies to edit outside Resovle with the need to retain and conform originals for the grade. For long projects with high shooting ratios, this becomes quite a management task, and with huge storage requirements.

@markr041 I cannot properly run Resolve light on my current computer and will first have to invest in a new one... for me this seems to be a way to postpone this investment a bit.... Does anyone have experience with the minimum PC configuration needed? For example a specific (windows) standard laptop Resolve properly works on? So far I have not been very successful in getting it to work.....

@Nieuw - check out the current resolve config guide for windows here: http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/detail?sid=3948&pid=4446&leg=false&os=win

@GMC - thanks! :)

whoever is interested in the kickstarter should check out raw2gpcf from the magiclantern forums. its free and has the same basic functionality. To convert raw video to cineform raw.

BMPCC RAW low-light video: Shopping in Grand Central Terminal

Shot using RAWdng, graded and rendered in DaVinci Resolve Lite. 108030p, 180 degree shutter.

Panasonic 20mm f1.7 lens (non-IS, as is evident in a few shots).

Grand Central Terminal is very dark. Worse, it has many small areas of bright light - sun-lit windows (during the day) and small, bright backlit signs. Almost any view will have bright parts and very dark parts. It is a real challenge for dynamic range. The last scene in the video is the biggest challenge - a dark room with large bright white lit signs in the background.

The Vimeo version, from where you can download the 35Mbps .mov file (h264), with uncompressed audio:

The Youtube version:

I uploaded a 235Mbps video to Youtube (as it has no GB limit), so the original here is of higher quality. Select 1080p.

@OzNimbus Epic man... soooo true this should go viral in my opinion.

Have jumped right into full production mode with 2 bmpcc, canon xf100 and a gopro on an exciting doco im filming.

Some very challenging situations with full daylight outside and just a small oil lamp inside dark interiors. Am amazed at the dynamic range of the bmpcc.

A collection of some clips from the first day and a half of filming. Lots more to come.

@nosh Lot of beautiful shots here. So much nice detail...colors great too. Was this in Raw or Prores...also curious what lens you used? Doc looks interesting. Where is this?

Great stuff - rock on.

Thanks @matt_gh2. This was shot in south of India and all prores. The RAW update only came out after I had already shot the footage. Have used the panasonic 12-35mm 2.8 for most of the shots and a voigtlander 25mm .95 for a few select shots.

Found a great monitor in 5.6" for the BMPCC which works well, it is on the deals here as "New, metal case, 5.6" monitor, 1280x800 resolution".

It's 227,- € new on Ebay here in Germany with very fast delivery and full accessories, but you should check the offers here first.

The Seetec 5.6" in plastic is lighter and a bit cheaper, but it doesn't work, it only accepts input signals in 50 or 60 Hz (progressive or interlaced), but not 23.98 to 30 Hz. So, it works fine with a GH2 or even a Red Scarlet, but not with the BMPCC.
