Entire Clips Exporting Black in Media Encoder but not Premiere when using BRAW

Hi bug team,

Sporadically, my BRAW clips (6k@48fps) shot on BMPCC6kPro are exporting as completely black amongst other clips of the exact same type, frame rate, etc when I send the media to AME to export. This issue does not happen when I export directly from Premiere.

When I re-export these clips, it is usually the SAME clips that remain black every time I export, and agian, this issue only affects AME and does not affect Premiere, but of course slows down my workflow considerably.

AME Version 24.4.1

PPro 24.4.1

In the preview window of AME the clips will display black, but it will still take the same amount of time to render.

If I had to guess (although I cannot confirm this) it seems that editing the RAW aspect of the footage (altering the ISO in the BRAW window) makes it MORE LIKELY that the clips will export black, although some of them come out just fine. Any help is appreciated.

Adobe doesn't provide support for BRAW. You get it from either the BM or Autokroma plugins.

I never had good experiences with the BM freebie. The Autokroma folks make a plugin with more options, that has simply, always worked. They provide a free option also without so many useful extra options (like presets) and for most, it works fine.

They also provide the best support for BM's freebie plugin, far more than BM does. Go to Autokroma's site, their BRAW information has quite a few articles on working with the BM plugin and things that can go wrong.

Tried it when it first came out, major reliability issues. I have it, but is there no solve coming from Adobe?
