“With the addition of ProRes RAW formats across our capture, playback, and professional editing software products, we are continuing our commitment to software updates for existing products,” said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design. “Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K customers have always been able to record in compressed ProRes 422 formats, but now they will be able to record ProRes RAW and natively playback the files in DaVinci Resolve. We are extremely excited to be delivering yet another free update for our customers.”
