Blackmagic Camera has a built-in chat workspace so members of the Blackmagic Cloud project can talk about images and quickly share creative ideas, all without leaving the app. Simply log into Blackmagic Cloud and select the project your customers are working on and start writing a message. Clients can quickly message editors, assistants, colorists or VFX artists to discuss shot selection or to receive an update on the project. Everyone on that project can see your message and respond immediately. All of this means clients can stay in touch with other project members without leaving the app and missing a critical shot.

The Blackmagic Camera media tab has all the controls needed to browse or scrub clips for quick review, search and sort, and see the upload status of your media. Customers can also link to their DCIM folder and select clips to upload to Blackmagic Cloud. Simply access their media from the Blackmagic Cameras all clips folder by selecting the Media button to see the thumbnails for each clip customers have saved. Customers can save their media to the My Files folder on their phone, send it to Blackmagic Cloud Storage via Blackmagic Cloud or manually select which clips to upload to a project library. Customers can even sync Blackmagic Camera media directly into a DaVinci Resolve project so users are ready to edit and color grade.

Media management on the Blackmagic Camera is easy, with three options depending on location and mobile data coverage. Customers can record to their phone and transfer clips to a computer. This allows customers to free up valuable phone storage space and later share their files with other users globally. Or customers can log into Blackmagic Cloud and select a DaVinci Resolve project before shooting. After each individual recording, the media will be automatically uploaded and synchronized to all members of that project. Blackmagic Camera also has a manual option where customers can record their footage to their phone and then choose which clips to upload via Blackmagic Cloud when they have a network connection.

By creating their Blackmagic ID, customers can access the Blackmagic Cloud. It’s easy and it costs nothing. Just tap Blackmagic Cloud in the media tab to go to the Blackmagic Cloud website to sign up. Once customers have created their Blackmagic ID, they can log in and set up their project library. This is where projects to be uploaded to Cloud Storage are created. With a project library set up, choose to have Blackmagic Camera sync directly to Cloud Storage from the app. Invite others using their Blackmagic ID to share your project and instantly collaborate with editors and colorists globally, working on the same project.

When shooting with Blackmagic Camera, the video customers shoot can be instantly uploaded as a proxy file, followed by the camera originals, and stored in Blackmagic Cloud Storage. These will then be automatically synchronized with all members of the project anywhere in the world. This means customers can start editing quickly using their proxies, speeding up their workflow. Media can be constantly added to the project by multiple cameras in different locations that are automatically synced to other project members via the Blackmagic Cloud. Anyone can use the proxy media and the colorist or finisher can download the original high resolution camera originals and render. It’s a fast, seamless and automatic way to collaborate.

“The Blackmagic Camera app for iPhone has been incredibly popular since its launch l ast year,” said Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design CEO. “We’re excited to give customers with Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel phones the same digital film capture controls as our professional cameras. Additionally, the Blackmagic Cloud workflow allows customers to record to Blackmagic Cloud Storage and automatically sync with DaVinci Resolve. It’s really exciting to be able to give even more customers the ability to get their footage to the newsroom or post-production studios in literally seconds.”
