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.

How you're considering me confused, I have no clue. Not whatever. I didn't say you used anything ... period. Just gave my results. That's all. So ... what the hay anyway dude?

 

Any of us conflating our own rig's performance over enough other users to make claims about the usefulness of any of these apps ... Premiere, Resolve, Avid, whatever ... is skating on thin ice. Comparing the performance with different media, or the same media, with different hardware or steps can be very useful for the data involved.

Niel.

You are very very confused but Baffy is not. Allow me to demonstrate. For starters you claimed you used the Autokroma BRAW plugin. I Used the Blackmagic Design plugin but plugins are a non issue. Baffy knew it without being told! 

The correct response from you would have been "it is 2022 and Adobe is still using 3rd party plugins for BRAW support". 

Keep in mind I stated not all systems will experience the same issues I am having. That being said I think it is important for the programmers at Adobe to see my video. Perhaps Adobe will finally support BRAW without plugins. I 'm hip! Baffy is hip and now you're hip! 

In 2022 Adobe should have full support for BRAW.  Adobe is not giving people the CC for free. We pay good money each month to have full support for new video codecs when they hit the market. We pay good money to Adobe not 3rd party plugin developers. 

Adobe had support for Quick Sync before Resolve but in the year 2022 Resolve supports more variations of H.264/265. How did that happen? Resolve is free or $300.00 one time fee. We pay Adobe good money each month. I don't want excuses anymore. I want results ASAP! Maybe my video will inspire the Adobe programmers but I highly doubt it. 

Moving forward I hope you will have a more open mind set and focus on the bigger picture. When we pay an expensive monthly fee compared to the competition we should not be using software that competes with the competition. We should be using software that is miles a head of the competition.  Keep in mind Adobe can and should end the monthly rental fee if they cannot remain cutting edge. Adobe used to be a great company 12 years ago but those days are long gone. I am glad I know how to use Resolve. Adobe has a great GUI and great support for 3rd party hardware but when an Adobe Employee tells me the Premiere Pro does not support BRAW in the year 2022 is time to move on.

Keep in mind in the year 2022 we still have filters and transitions that are not GPU accelerated. Rather than forcing the users to make a feature request to have them GPU accelerated wouldn't it be better for the Adobe employees to do their job? Premiere Pro used to get great upgrades 12 years ago. What happened? I will tell you! When you get money each month there is no need to push yourself to make good upgrades that are worth buying.  

To make matters worse I have been told Resolve has better support for the M1 chips. I like the Premiere Pro's GUI but Premiere Pro is a sinking ship. Adobe is not going to repair all the little 3" inch holes. That being said even a 3" inch hole will sink a ship if given enough time.
