    Hi Adam,

     

    Please see the System Requirements for ProRes RAW support:

     

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-beta/discuss-prores-raw-support/td-p/11013854

     

    An NVIDIA card is required on Windows.

    So there is no way of running this with a radeon graphics card? If not, will this be something that will change or will it only be available to be use with NVIDIA?

    I do not have a 14.2 available in my CC Desktop App beta builds ... the newest is 14.1.0.106.

    Everyone's mileage always varies ...

      All,

      We have identified the issue and are working on a solution to get a Premiere Pro 14.2.0.x beta build posted to Creative Cloud which will support ProRes RAW decodes. The current Premiere Pro Beta build that is downloading from Creative Cloud is a 14.1 series and it will not support ProRes RAW.

       

      We apologize for the inconvenience to all our Premiere Pro Beta users.

        Well, I followed the above instructions. And downloaded the BETA decoder to test it out. No luck on my end. I even updated my Premiere Pro CC to 14.0.1. And restarted my computer. Thoughts? My rig: i7-8700 | Nvidia 1080TI | 32 RAM | NVME Main Drive. Recording to an Atomos Inferno. Tested both ProResRAW and ProResRAW HQ.

        14.0.1 is a little old; could you confirm the PPro version, from the About box?

          Having the same issue here, blown out exposure and oversaturated colors, especially reds, despite everything looking correct on the scopes when recorded (Nikon Z6 via Ninja V, ProRes RAW). Thanks for working this issue.

            Hello-

             

            I have the latest 14.2.0 (build 5) and I am also getting this "Unknown compression type" error. I have downloaded and installed the Apple driver ProRes RAW Decoder , rebooted my computer and have all of the system requirements met. Am I missing something? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
