Blackmagic RAW (BRAW) Video Dataset for AI Training
Access 107,038 native Blackmagic RAW (.braw) clips captured in professional Blackmagic cinema-camera workflows. The approximately 595-hour collection preserves 12-bit camera-native material for BRAW decoding, image-signal-pipeline research, computational photography, colour processing, restoration, and video-model development.
The page is specific to the Blackmagic pipeline: BRAW compression and decode settings, embedded camera metadata, source resolution, bit depth, frame rate, timecode, and colour information can be inventoried per clip where retained. Because the source library may span cameras and productions, exact resolution and frame-rate distributions are supplied from file-level inspection rather than inferred from the codec name.
