TIP
Refer to the 'choosing a CFast 2.0 card', 'choosing a fast SD card' and 'choosing a
fast SSD' sections for more information on how to avoid dropping frames.
Apply LUT in File
If you are applying a LUT to any of the outputs from your Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6K, the
selected LUT will be embedded into the Blackmagic RAW file you are recording.
This means that the LUT will be saved in the header of the file and can easily be applied to the
clip in post production without needing to handle a separate file. When the 'apply LUT in file'
switch is set to 'on' in URSA Mini Pro's record menu, this clip will open in Blackmagic RAW Player
and DaVinci Resolve with the chosen LUT already applied to it. The LUT can then be easily
toggled 'on' or 'off' but will always travel with the Blackmagic RAW file as it is written into the
clip itself.
DaVinci Resolve also has an 'Apply LUT' switch in the RAW settings palette for enabling or
disabling the 3D LUT in the Blackmagic RAW file. The 'Apply LUT' setting in DaVinci Resolve is
the same setting as in the camera. This means that when shooting you can direct the colorist to
use the LUT by setting it in the camera, but they can switch it off easily in DaVinci Resolve by
setting 'Apply LUT' to 'off'.
File Naming Convention
Clips are recorded to your CFast card, SD card or SSD in .braw file format when recording
Blackmagic RAW, or to a ProRes QuickTime movie depending on which recording format you
have chosen.
The table below shows an example of the file naming convention:
A001_08151512_C001.mov
A001_08151512_C001.mov
A001_08151512_C001.mov
A001_08151512_C001.mov
A001_08151512_C001.mov
A001_08151512_C001.mov
A001_08151512_C001.mov
A001_08151512_C001.mov
Still image files captured using the still button will follow the file naming convention for video
clips, however the filename will have an 'S001' representing the 'still number' as the last four
digits of the filename in place of the clip number. URSA Mini Pro 12K records stills as a single
Blackmagic RAW frame. URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 and URSA Mini Pro 4.6K record stills as a DNG
file to the stills folder. For more information, refer to the 'Status LCD Controls' section in
this manual.
