Issues Sharing Blackmagic Footage

PostWed Dec 08, 2021 8:00 pm

I am trying to share Blackmagic footage with my group for a student project. I don't have DaVinci Resolve... not sure if that's what the issue is. However, when I try to send even just one video file it takes hours and I am wondering if there is a faster, more efficient way to share the files?

Record in ProRes or convert. BRAW has very efficient compression, but it's still large.
If you want to only see BRAW, there's a player which comes with the free version of Resolve.
My disaster protection: export a .drp file to a physically separated storage regularly.

If your footage is in BRAW or Prores and size is the limiting factor for sharing, and if post processing is inconsequential, then I suggest downloading the free version of DaVinci Resolve and encoding the BRAW file to something like H.264 file with a low bit rate. Those files will be small enough to share via Dropbox or Google drive. You can upload it to YouTube as well and share it there.
