Hi,

I had some questions regarding the Camera app and its recording capabilities.

1) If we'd like to sync our media to the cloud in real time, can we upload directly to the cloud without recording locally to our devices? Can we record straight to the cloud without requiring local storage?

2) Can we have multiple users upload their shots to a shared cloud storage account? Does each user require their own Project Library or can they all be a part of the same library and upload to one single cloud account?

3) Is there a list of storage rates anywhere? I'm trying to determine how much space we would need for our cloud storage plan based on how large the camera app files are.


Thanks!

1) you have to record locally but you can upload to Blackmagic Cloud in real time while recording, using Live Sync.
2) you can have multiple camera operators uploading to the same project within the same project library. Manage those users on Blackmagic Cloud.
3) The storage and project library options are detailed on Blackmagic Cloud. Try a single project library to which you can have multiple projects, and the smallest storage space to test your storage needs.

Don't forget, with DaVinci Resolve connected to the same project library in Blackmagic Cloud, and that shared project loaded, the recorded clips can automatically be synced to bins in the media pool, while you are recording.

Thank you, Peter.

For question #3 - I was referring to the size of the files created by the camera app.
For example, the Pyxis storage rates (based on 30 frames per second) are:

4096 x 2160 (4K 16:9)
Blackmagic RAW 3:1 - 144 MB/s
Blackmagic RAW 5:1 - 87 MB/s
Blackmagic RAW 8:1 - 55 MB/s
Blackmagic RAW 12:1 - 37 MB/s
Blackmagic RAW Q0 - 108 to 216 MB/s
Blackmagic RAW Q1 - 73 to 173 MB/s
Blackmagic RAW Q3 - 49 to 124 MB/s
Blackmagic RAW Q5 - 30 to 73 MB/s

Is there a similar list to this for the camera app?

We do not have that list at the moment.
