[dkalep]

ok so i figured it out yes the new blackmagic raw that either adobe or blackmagic put out did not work for me, i was able to edit fine but the exporting would not go through mabe it was bugged or missing some codecs not made the right way. so i went ahead and bought autokroma pluggin problem solved everything works fine and exports fine as well.

Oh okay. I have that program but i never got to use it. The new update came out so i was like okay let me go with the official plug in. I guess i have to go an reinstall. Thanks!!

I haven't tried it. So far, most of what i've used to get a nice high quality output has the same results. 😞

Hey kdalep, I know this isn't much help, but I just tried exporting BRAW using the h.264 settings you mentioned and it worked fine for me.  The footage came out great.  I'm on a Windows machine... are you on a Mac?

[dkalep]

windows the autokroma pluggin worked for me but the blackmagic raw that came out by blackmagic not so long ago did not work.

[michaelr89902089]

PC. Man, wondering why it isn't working for me.

[Carlos Ziade]

Try this:

if you are on a Mac, try to switch your renderer to Metal

if on Windows, try to switch to any available GPU acceleration, if greyed out, 

you are working in software only and your GPU might need either an update 

or a roll back if the issue started after an update.

using windows but it was the blackmagic raw pluggin that did not work properly for me dont know why so i bought the autokroma pluggin problem solved everything works fine and exports fine as well.

FWIW, there are several Premiere users on Facebook reporting issues with the current BRAW plugin (v1.5), including an export issue that sounds like what you described. Personally, I've had issues with loading BRAW clips into the Source Monitor that causes a hang. Not everyone is experiencing these issues (even on the same machines) so it's frustrating to troubleshoot. It's all been reported on the Blackmagic forums so hopefully they're workng on a new version of the plugin.

Great that is has been reported to them.

[michaelr89902089]

I was super excited about the new plugin Blackmagic design just released that made it possible to edit native BRAW footage in premiere.  While everything was working properly in the timeline. Once I exported to h.264 in 4k resolution, i noticed that the file has all the high lights completely blown out. Has anyone had this issue come up. The only option that works is the match sequence setting at a low bitrate without pass2 or CBR selected. Any fixes coming for this? 

[Kevin-Monahan]

Actually, it's a BlackMagic plug-in, so the most salient bug fixes are going to have to come from them, I think. That said, please let our team know about your woes. You can file a bug here: https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911233-premiere-pro

Thank you!

I was just having this issue, its weird because yesterday I did not have these problems. 
I was able to use the Apple ProRes MXF setting to get a clean export.  I used LT, but assume any of the flavors would work. Then bring it back into media encoder to make it h.264. 
I've also been experiencing other issues with this. The RAW Capabilities have not been working. Or they work sometimes. Then not other times. I ended up having to disable masterclip settings altogether to be able to edit somewhat efficiently. I will not be shooting raw again until theres an update.

Solution! I had the exact same issue and found a work around for me at least. I typically check "render at maximium depth", but when this is checked when exporting .braw clips, the export is terribly over exposed. When I uncheck this box, the issue goes away. I tried many other settings before figuring this out. Hope this helps!

FYI, I am running premeire on a mac

FYI everyone: in case you missed it, Blackmagic released an update to their BRAW plugin. Go to their support section and download v1.5.1 and then run the included uninstaller to remove the older version before installing the new one. It appears to have fixed a lot of issues, including this one.

its still not working

[R Neil Haugen]

For what it's worth to you ... I never had solid and continual success with the free plugin from BlackMagic ... so I bought the Autokroma plugin. It just works.

Still does not work 😕 Some files get exported, some don't. Absolutely no difference between the files.

[R Neil Haugen]

Which plugin are you using?

Try exporting to the Apple ProRes codec, something high quality and lossless like 4444. Mine was doing the same thing when trying to export to .mp4, probably because media encoder struggles to communicate with the blackmagic plugin when attempting to compress it. Once I went to ProRes, no issues at all. From there you can put that export back into media encoder to compress it into a more mangageable format like h.264.
