We are very thankful for John Brawley’s first ProRes Files of the Black Magic Pocket Camera.
We have decided to use Final Cut X for grading because we want to know how to get some useful pictures in a short time without using a color grading software like DaVinci.

Our goal was to make a quick and uncomplicated color grading video without an additional grading software. Therefore we used Final Cut X and we were pleasantly surprised about the results.

Lenses used:
SLR Magic 35mm F1,4
Olympus 14-35mm F2,0
Olympus 7-14mm

Those images from the BMPCC look sweet

I think a lot of people are going to buy the Pocket thinking that they're going to shoot CinemaDNG RAW and grade in DaVinci - and end up shooting ProRes and cutting/grading in Final Cut - a much easier (and nevertheless very high quality) workflow.

Blackmagic is going to sell these things as fast as they can crank them out. Or maybe faster
