NIKON Z6 BRAW settings in Resolve

PostTue Dec 22, 2020 12:43 am

Hi,

I am shooting with BRAW with Nikon Z6 via the BM VIDEO ASSIST RECORDER

To properly playback and color grade this BRAW footage, what are the correct settings in Resolve Project Settings (under Color Management) ?

Project Settings > Color Management
Color Science: ?
Input Color Space: ?
Timeline Color Space: ?
Output Color Space: ?

I know when I am shooting NLog, I change these to the NLog settings, but since I just got the BRAW update, not sure of the correct settings here for BRAW

Thanks in advance!

Try the following, changing the Input Device Transform to None and the Output to reflect your delivery needs.

Thank you! This seems to be working. It would be great to have an a little background / explanation on why these settings for a context.

I sent my Z6 to Nikon for the RAW upgrade, and have a BM Video Assist coming soon. If you have a frame or two, I'll try to see what settings in Resolve work best.

In the Part 1, Introduction of the Resolve 16 manual, there's a section called Data Levels, Color Management, and ACES.

That should help with understanding here.
