BLACK MAGIC RAW FOOTAGE CRASHES PREMIERE PRO

Several ideas to try here is order ...

First thing, dump your cache/cache database files with Premiere closed, or launch Premiere, and instead of opening a project, go directly to the Preferences/Cache menu, and use the option to delete all cache files. Then relaunch Premiere. That ... might ... work.

Second, go to the Autokroma site ... their BRAW section support actually has the best information about how to solve the many problems that continually happen to some users with BM's plugin. Read that, and try their suggestions.

Third ... create a new project, import the BRAW media into that new project, and start over. Sigh.

Fourth ... go to aescripts or Autokroma, acquire that plugin and delete the BM one from your machine. Costs some dough, but ... works. And gets great support.

First, you need either the BlackMagic BRAW extension/plugin or the Autokroma BRAW Studio plugin to be able to work with BRAW media in Premiere. Do you have a plugin?

The BlackMagic plugin is free, and some find it useful. Go to the page below, then there's an area with three columns ... scroll down the left Downloads column until you see the BlackMagic RAW updated listed.

Personally, their plugin always had issues for me, so I ended up paying for the Autokroma BRAW plugin for Premiere and MediaEncoder (yea, two licenses ... ). But it works, it allows presets, and ... it just plain works. Their support is also awesome. I got mine through the aescripts site as that way the licensing/downloads are managed along with several other things I've acquired there.
