BRAW Workflow in Resolve 16 Studio

Hi,
I have my first BRAW Timelline UHD Film CQ Q0 Window ready to export as my Master Copy.
What Codec preserves best the Quality of the RAW Clips ?

DNxHR 444 12 bit would work well, found under MXF OP1a.

Cineform RGB 16 bit would be good as well, found under QuickTime.

The highest quality export formats available in Resolve will exceed the inherent quality of braw -- you'll gain nothing but increased file size by using them. Even the observable difference between Prores Lt and an uncompressed format will be vanishingly small. The display medium may not even allow for such distinctions to survive. Youtube and vimeo certainly won't.

Where do you intend to show the material? If it's not a big cinema, I wouldn't worry.

Thanks for your answers.
The idea is to save a Master Copy with the best quality one can get from the BRAW Clips.
I suspect the best quality would be if I could export it with a BRAW Codec ?
Am I wrong ?

Regards
Juergen

Exporting BRAW just isn't an option, and likely won't be any time soon.

If what you really want is your original media, but trimmed to reflect only the footage used in the edited program, you can trim braw via Media Management, and output braw. The result is a digital copy of the original, but trimmed.

But these braw clips won't contain any project-specific alterations or color correction you may have performed. That information would be contained in the project file.

"Master copy" does not explain what your purpose is. The usual "master copy" is exactly what you have now: the original camera files, or backups of the original camera files.

I disagree. A Master usually refers to a high quality version of the finished edit, from which various deliverables may be derived.

I think the aforementioned DNx and Cineform options are best.

The OP declines to reveal what he intends the master for, so this contributor surmised that he actually means something other than finished/graded "master copy" of the final program.

But we're all left to speculate, since he won't actually come out and say what he wants or intends to do.

He's got a timeline ready to export as a Master copy. I think that says pretty clear what he intends.

Exact that is what I mean.
