Blackmagic Design has released Camera 9.8, a public beta update that introduces Apple ProRes RAW recording to the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. This move significantly expands the capabilities of the widely used entry-level cinema camera and directly connects with the ProRes RAW support recently introduced in DaVinci Resolve 20.2.

While these formats remain powerful, the new addition of ProRes RAW provides filmmakers with greater flexibility and higher efficiency in postproduction, particularly for color grading and effects workflows. The integration means users can now capture in ProRes RAW and immediately take advantage of native playback and editing inside DaVinci Resolve 20.2, which was updated earlier this week with full ProRes RAW support.

With Camera 9.8, this camera now steps into workflows previously reserved for more advanced systems. Blackmagic emphasizes that this is not just another codec option but a significant expansion of creative freedom. As Grant Petty, CEO of Blackmagic Design, highlighted in the announcement, customers who previously recorded in ProRes 422 can now record ProRes RAW, unlocking higher image fidelity...
