The BRAW Studio plugin for Premiere Pro from the AUTOKROMA team is available for free for full-fledged work with frames obtained from Blackmagic cameras. I advise you to test from the official website of the company for stability. Thanks to the developers of AUTOKROMA company 👏

One of the big things I've enjoyed at NAB is the aisle-way discussions. And the ones around the back of the Adobe booth with the engineers and several users sharing experiences.

 

We are all different in the way we work. I was in a discussion with an editor and three of his assistants. All hired as total noobs by the guy, all totally taught by him. And they laughed about even then, they all work very differently while editing in the same shop.

 

As for the BM BRAW plugin, I couldn't ever rely on it. It would work for a while, then wouldn't. Just fritzed. But the next day it might work ... or I might have to wait for a new plugin from them. And since I 'left' their plugin, I've three times now removed the Autokroma plugin and tested the lastest BM plugin. Well ... yea, that's not good.

 

And back to the Autokroma plugin.

 

Now ... for anyone using the BM plugin, the Autokroma site has the best support for issues with the BM plugin you'll find anywhere. Including all sorts of fixes/workarounds to keep using it. Nice people at Autokroma.

I couldn't get it working when I obtained a paid version, so I think I'll pass.

 

The BM version works for me, although I do have hit Revert to Metadata before I can apply the LUT.

At the moment they have the latest version and there are no restrictions in the application to frames. Previously, it was possible to apply only to 500 frames for familiarization. Now there are no restrictions and in the free version you can do the main front of work. Try the new version

The Autokroma BRAW plugin has always been far more reliable than the BlackMagic one, has had more options like for presets, and is actually SUPPORTED. Well, they've actually supported the free BM plugin better than BM did!

 

So ... yes, folks ... go get the Autokroma plugin. Amazing tool!

Forget about more options the latest BRAW plugin from BMD has a bug. I will have a video tutorial soon.

Here is the video I promised you. I doubt the BMD plugin is to blame. I hope the CEO and Project Manages at Adobe can accept responsibility. As of now Premiere Pro is pure crap! The idiots at Adobe keep adding new feature when Premiere Pro is unstable and full of bugs. Premiere Pro is a sinking ship and Adobe has no life preservers for us. It would be better to build a new ship than try and patch all the holes.

Well, here's a clip for y'all ... I've got two UHD BRAW clips from a BMPCC4K, stacked, one turned into PIP in the upper left corner as in Andy's vid. Timeline is UHD also, in Rec.709 color space. 25fps.

 

And the dropped frames indicator showing green all the way ... both clips have multiple controls of the Autokroma BRAW plugin, [and multiple instances of Lumetri on each clip] (edit: this sequence doesn't have the Lumetri, I copied the one without. The other sequence has them and plays back the same).

 

There's resizing going on for the PIP pic also, of course. My Ryzen 3960X CPU was averaging about 17%, my 2080Ti GPU about 27%. (edit: playback on the sequence with multiple Lumetri was about 22%/31%)

 

I don't see the imminent demise of PrPro ... it's got the widest usage ever at the moment. There are some issues that every one of us would want changed of course. I'm no different. I'd love a complete rebuild of the color system and the color workspace, I've posted that with the developers.

 

It's also been very clear on the forums here and elsewhere I've not been thrilled (ahem) with the rollout of the new underlying color system in Pr2022.

 

And I'll be talking with the developers at NAB in a couple weeks also.

 

Premiere doesn't have the full color tools of Resolve, and geez ... much as I'd like to have all that, Resolve started as GRADING app! Now they've cadged on a couple edit pages, some of the Fairlight audio DAW, a (sort of usable) version of Fusion as the graphics/fx page ... and that aglomeration of tools has its own issues. If you follow the BM forums as I do, it's notable the number of stability/bug issues has risen with the changes making Resolve into an Adobe "clone" as some put it.
