BlackMagic .RAW Essential Graphics problem

[WayneParkerEdit]

I started working with BlackMagic .raw in Premiere Pro and I found some problems with it combined with essential graphics we made.

So the first problem is that the BlackMagic .raw footage doesn't pick up the alpha layer from the essential graphic (see image 1). The black solid needs to be more transparent. I tried using exposure effect to fix it with a workaround but I wasn't very happy with the result.
The second problem is that it adds a letter (the letter 'N' for some reason) to another essential graphic we build. It's a countdown expression. When I use footage with another codec the 'N' isn't visable.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? I know exporting the footage to another codec works, but that workaround isn't ideal.

Here are some technical specs what I use:
Premiere Pro Version 23.6.0 (build 65)
Blackmagic .Raw version: 3.3
I edit on a Mac: Ventura 13.5.1

Very bizarre, to say the least!

My only comment ... I gave up on the freebie BM plugin a couple years ago. Always having one issue or another. And have used the Autokroma plugin since, without any problems at all. It isn't free, but it doesn't cost much either, and it's got more options. Like presets.

Plus, the Autokroma folks give the best support for BRAW on this forum and their site ... no matter whether you're using their plugin or the BM one.

Thank you for your reply! I have tried the Autokroma free plugin and the problem still persists. I think the best workaround is to export the edit into another codec. Not the best solution, but I think it's the only solution I have right now.
