I know this is asking a lot of the development team at BM, but what would be very helpful for me, is to have the following:
1.)A .BRAW viewer app that works for windows. And runs on a middle of the road quality laptop.
2.)Have the Media management capabilities also in that .BRAW viewer. e.g. be able to mark In and Out points in a clip, and trim the file saving only the trimmed portion.
I am able to do this successfully for .BRAW files in the full DR studio, it works fine but the workflow is a bit convoluted. And requires the full DR app to accomplish. The workflow requires me to create a media bin, drag the files into the bin, create a timeline, mark in and out points and drag in the cut clips into the timeline, then execute the MEdia Management trimming function on that timeline to export the shortened clip.
However, I travel to remote locations shooting nature videos, sometimes at very crude accommodations and with very limited and very minimal laptop support when on location. I really don't want to attempt to try to deal with running full DR studio app on my laptop. (hardware, video cards, and screen resolution issues.) I have no need to edit, or color grade while in the field. I save that for later. However it would be great to have a previewing tool that also had the trim functions and worked on a middle of the road laptop. Without the need to create a timeline. Simply preview the file, mark in and out points, add some handles, designate the save to destination, and bang. Done. Then once I validate that the trimmed file is fine, do a backup and I delete the larger original file.
For my type of filming, a single take may run 2 minutes in length only to have 10 seconds of good action. The rest will be discarded. I'd like to be able to preview and cut the file in the field with a simple to use too on a simple to use machine. Such would save lots of valuable storage space.
