      Ok, it's been awhile ... and the only control still for the media is the 'exposure' control, which doesn't help adequately most of the time.

       

      Any improvements for this coming soon?

        Hello Brajesh, 

         

        Thanks! I have downloaded the latest beta of Premiere (14.3.2) and the files still don't process. I have an AMD gfx card with 8 GB of ram and plenty of power to work this. Any thoughts on whats going on?

        Any update on when AMD gfx cards will be supported? Is there any possibility of getting a less vague answer? Like within the next couple months, within the next year, within the next two years!?? Would be nice to know if I should get a Nvidia card solely dedicated for PRR footage. Please advise. Thank you so much.

          My NVidia Tesla card arrived a few weeks ago. Now that Panasonic released ProRes RAW last night, guess I'm going to install it alongside my AMD Vega Frontier Edition and see how it goes!

            Hey there everybody ... I just wanted to let you guys know. 

            I have been using the Premiere BETA for a good while and all was working well with ProRes RAW

            Then I updated to Premiere 14.2 and again all was well.

            BUT   BUT   BUT  ... It then stopped working.

            I checked my NVidia drivers and the update to Adobe and still nothing.

            After a bit of thinking, I found that the APPLE Decoder update screwed up the link. 

            I went back to the last version of the APPLE Decoder and ProRes RAW works again on my machine.

            Just something to think about if you run into this problem.

            My Machine: i7-8700K | 32GB RAM | M.2 OS & Program Drive | Nvidia 1080TI.

              Unfortunately the latest update seems to have broken Prores RAW support on my system. I was using the beta build just fine for weeks and with the latest updates, both the beta and non-beta versions of Premiere give this error: 

               

              This is using the latest Nvidia Studio drivers, latest Apple Prores RAW decoder for windows (the non-beta version released today, May 19th), and latest versions of both Premiere Pro and the Premiere Pro beta.

              Any update on RAW to Log Conversion options in Source Settings? Looking for something similar to what Final Cut has already set up.

                Thanks so much! Any word on AMD card support? I have an AMD Vega Frontier Edition Professional Card. It works great with GPU rendering acceleration, I just need ProRes RAW.
