Blackmagic Video Assist

In the eventuality that you own a Blackmagic digital camera, then chances are that you want to take advantage of the latest improvements and new features added regularly. Blackmagic Video Assist is an application designed to simplify the way you upgrade the firmware for your DSLR camera.

While it may seem like a waste of time at first, you should bear in mind all updates issued are self-contained and therefore, you no longer need to search for and download the correct versions before you install the latest updates. To avoid potential issues and mostly errors, it is recommended that you uninstall the previous versions of the app you had.

Key Features:

• Automated firmware update process


• Recommendations for firmware versions


• User-friendly GUI for easy navigation


• USB connection to your computer


• Automatic camera reboot after update

Another noteworthy advantage of using a dedicated tool to upgrade the camera's firmware stems from the fact that the app can read the current version installed and it provides recommendations as to what firmware you should download. Consequentially, you do not need to worry about installing the wrong files.

Similarly to other apps in this category, you need to connect the digital camera to your computer via a USB cable. Afterwards, you just need to follow the instructions displayed in the GUI. It is worth mentioning that the camera reboots once the update is complete and that the screen can flick for a few minutes. You should not get alarmed, as this is a normal behavior.
