There’s something to love about the Ursa mini 4.6K’s pure flexibility! The ability to come up with a look, take that look make it into a LUT and then apply that LUT into my camera then shoot monitoring it is truly amazing and makes the color correction and grading process take a third of the time. Shooting RAW also made it so much easier to “choose as I go” and determine whether I’d like a cleaner shadow look, or a more atmospheric look. Using the RAW capabilities in Resolve, I could choose between both and decide with relatively no issue.
However…
There’s been a bit of an uproar about the removal of Cinema DNG (raw) and replacing it with Blackmagic RAW, but there was also a big “uproar” about BMD’s low light of the Ursa mini; and as we all know, that’s moreso how the tool is used than the tool itself.
