BRAW settings not showing up at all (not even grayed out)

Hello,

Thanks @R Neil Haugen for quoting me !

Note that you can always contact us from our Autokroma website if you need quick support (we don't check this forum every day, only from time to time). 

About your issue, it is weird indeed. It could come from different things :

- a bad installation (please try to re-install latest version online !)

- maybe you merged then unmerged your braw item ? 

- maybe you started with the black magic plugin then switched to BRAW Studio ? 

What does happen if you re-import the BRAW file ? 

Best,

Nicolas from Autokroma 

I will reach out to him, as it appears this topic is not covered. Thanks again.

They have extensive documentation that covers nearly everything, and past that, you can ask them and they offer pretty quick responses.

@Nicolas from Autokroma does post on here every so often also.

I did a Google search for the Autokroma site, it's here in case anyone is interested. I don't see this issue listed, though. But thatnks for the recommendation.

Did you go check out the Autokroma page for information  as I suggested? Doesn't sound like it. And as Adobe does not actually support BRAW, the Autokroma site is where you go.

Because, as I noted, the Autokroma site has the best support and documentation for BRAW workflows using the BM or Autokroma freebie plugins anywhere.

No reason you need to buy the Autokroma plugin to use their help materials. And I will also note, their plugin cost is far less than any "college" book cost I know of these days! Your students spend a ton more on books than many plugins cost.

As it is, on your student's system, Premiere is not recognizing the plugin, which can have several causes. Check the Autokroma site as they will have an answer for you at no cost.

BTW ... I understand doing things on a low budget for student purposes. But if you really want them to learn about working with a professional application in video post, you should also include discussions of plugins. Your students need to know how working folks actually, like, work.

For instance, I work for/with/teach pro colorists. Nearly all of them based in Resolve or Baselight, which have extensive effects for all sorts of things, right?

But nearly every colorist I know has at least one full suite of effects ... such as typically the full Boris suite, and quite likely both full Boris and the Maxon/Red Giant ones also.

In "straight" video editing, many editors do vast amounts of their daily working processes aided by plugins/effects acquired through aescripts.com, and if your students don't know of that site, and the wide array of low to medium cost but amazing tools there, they should.

It's how work gets done. All sorts of things that speed the workflow, from text creation, project organization, archiving projects, creating image transitions/wipes, sound mods, just anything and more than you can think of.

As I show in the attached image, it isn't even present in the Source tab. We can't force our students to have to buy an extra plugin, as well.

Do you mean the BRAW plugin isn't showing on the student's computer, or on another computer viewing the project?

I work a lot with BRAW, and although BM does provide a freebie plugin, "you get what you paid for" ... I had constant problems with it. One of the things I found out is the best support for using the BM freebie in Premiere is actually available on the Autokroma website!

They have several papers and tutorials on using the BM freebie.

Autokroma also has their own free offering, and the paid one which I have chosen, which has a lot of definitely useful additional options.

So which ever one you want to use, go to the Autokroma page to get it working.
