Rule summary
- Don't be a jerk: It's totally fine to disagree. Do so politely. Behave as an adult. Name calling, doxing etc is not okay here. Try not to be caustic. Life is hard enough. Treat everyone "as if" they're having a bad day and you'll be fine. Disagree if you like - just don't be disagreeable. Remember there's a human being on the other side of the keyboard.
- Piracy: Discussion or advocacy of piracy is strictly prohibited
- Descriptive titles are required for posts asking for help/support: To make it easier for other users to find information on the subreddit, posts asking for help and support must summarize the question in the title. Bad: 'Help!' Good: 'How do I record 4k on my BMPCC?'
- No Low-Effort Content: Posts and comments unrelated to our community, that neither create a discussion on a related topic nor contribute to an ongoing one, or made with malicious/misleading intents will be removed.
- No Selling/Soliciting: This sub is not a marketplace and is not equipped to be one. Posts selling services, licenses, hardware, etc. will be removed. Soliciting purchases will also be removed.
Works well
- A detailed question about using a specific Blackmagic camera feature, with a title like 'How do I record 4k on my BMPCC?'
- A tip or workflow for DaVinci Resolve that starts a genuine discussion among users.
- A polite and descriptive post asking for help with a hardware issue, using a clear title that summarizes the problem.
Avoid
- Do not post any listings to sell gear, software licenses, or services.
- Avoid vague titles like 'Help!' because posts asking for support must summarize the question in the title.
- Do not mention or advocate for piracy in any form.
- Avoid low effort posts that do not create or contribute to a discussion on a related topic.
- Do not be rude, caustic, or disagreeable when interacting with other users.
What r/blackmagicdesign Is For
This sub is for people using Blackmagic Design hardware and software who want info and tips on how to use it. It's not affiliated with the company. People come here to learn more about products like cameras, editing software, and related gear.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rules that matter most for a founder are 'No Selling/Soliciting' and 'No Low-Effort Content'. The 'No Selling/Soliciting' rule is straightforward and says the sub is not a marketplace. The 'No Low-Effort Content' rule means your post needs to create or contribute to a discussion on a related topic. You also need to follow 'Descriptive titles are required for posts asking for help/support' if you are asking the community anything. 'Don't be a jerk' and 'Piracy' are both enforced too.
What To Post
A good post here is a genuine question or tip about Blackmagic Design hardware or software, with a clear and descriptive title that summarizes what you are asking. If you're a founder with a tool that works alongside Blackmagic products, the only way in is to share useful knowledge or start a real discussion, not to pitch your product. Be someone who uses the gear and wants to learn alongside others.
What To Avoid
Don't post anything that reads as selling or soliciting, including services, licenses, or hardware. Don't post low effort content that doesn't create or contribute to a discussion. Never discuss or advocate piracy. Don't use vague titles like 'Help!' when asking for support. And don't be rude, caustic, or disagreeable with other members.
