Where Does Blackmagic Camera Save Clips?
Blackmagic Camera holds takes in its All Clips folder first, then saves to Files, Gallery, or Blackmagic Cloud.
Last updated
Blackmagic Camera records into its own All Clips media tab. Review, scrub, sort, and delete from there. Nothing leaves the phone until you direct it. That staging step is why new users think recording failed when the Gallery looks empty.
Destinations are your call: Files on device, Gallery or DCIM link, external USB disk, or Blackmagic Cloud project libraries with proxy first workflows into DaVinci Resolve. Set the save target in Settings before long shoots so cards do not fill mid take.
Where Blackmagic Camera stores this, by platform
In app All Clips (save to Files or Photos)
Record to internal storage or USB attached disks. Sync proxies then originals to Blackmagic Cloud when signed into a project library. Clip naming follows Blackmagic or iOS convention per settings.

Pixel and Galaxy support is widest; some foldables are excluded. Link the DCIM folder for Gallery visibility. Cloud upload to DaVinci projects works the same as iOS.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get Blackmagic Camera clips into DaVinci Resolve?
Upload to a Blackmagic Cloud project library from the media tab, then open that cloud project in Resolve. Proxies arrive first for fast cutting, with camera originals following for finishing.
Can Blackmagic Camera record to an external SSD?
Yes on supported phones over USB-C. Pick external storage in Settings media options before recording. The ProDock adds HDMI, audio, genlock, and USB power for rigged shoots.
