The HD timeline speeds editing, and I still have the full 6K frame if I need to push into any shot. Even though I shot in 6K, I used a 1920 x 1080 timeline set to center crop to edit the footage.
#Blackmagic install
I had to install the latest version DaVinci Resolve 18 to edit the Blackmagic RAW files. I know where everything was, what the camera could do, and the added peace of mind knowing that it would do it all well.

With the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2 it was as if I was wearing a favorite comfortable shoe. I personally prefer minor improvements to cameras rather than major overhauls. The rest of the shoot went well with Greg doing every moving shot asked of him. This might be more convenient for some, but it appears to add a lot to the charging time. One small nitpick-the batteries are charged by a USB cable connection rather than using AC. I got about an hour of shooting time with one battery. With several shots, he would handhold the camera and move slowly left or right knowing that the camera gyro feature in DaVinci Resolve would smooth everything out. Greg, who is my human stabilizer, had his shots further refined by the camera’s gyro stabilized shots which we would see in post. Instead of using the tripod for most shots, I had the actor walk into or out of the handheld shots. Removing the grip and switching back to the internal battery, I wanted to really test the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2’s stabilization capabilities. The LCD touch screen is the largest power draw, so having two batteries in the grip is helpful. If you intend to switch back and forth with the grip and no grip, make sure you leave enough time to make the conversion. On a tripod, you are just happy having a longer shoot with an extra battery. However, the grip does add a bit of weight if you intend to handhold the shot.
#Blackmagic pro
The Blackmagic Pocket Camera Battery Pro Grip held two batteries which greatly extended the shooting time – roughly an extra hour per battery. As mentioned earlier, if you have several different shooters the multiple eyepiece rubber cups will make everyone happy. The optional viewfinder is worth every penny-especially when shooting outdoors. When using the eyepiece, a sensor automatically shuts off the LCD screen saving battery drain. I installed the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera Pro EVF with the largest rubber eyepiece because seeing the LCD touchscreen would be difficult outdoors. The first exterior shoot would be the longest in the scorching and humid Pennsylvania August weather. Bonde” a six-minute short about an aging secret agent not quite ready to throw in the towel. Using two different Canon EF mount lenses (16mm – 35mm f/2.8 and 24mm – 70mm f/2.8), I set out to shoot “Goodbye, Mr.

As a big advocate of 6K RAW shooting, I set the camera to 6144 x 2560, 5:1, at 24 fps. Having the perfect film project lined up for the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2, I wanted to make sure I had indoor, outdoor, and shots that needed to be stabilized. The gyro senses the data and stabilizes the footage in post.
#Blackmagic software
The software utilizes this data and AI to greatly smooth out your shots. Using the latest software update, the built-in gyro sensor allows moving images to be stabilized when shooting in Blackmagic RAW.
