P: Blackmagic Raw Scrolling Red Bars

[alexanderm60751726]

Hey,

I just bought a new MacBook Pro (Apple M3 Max, 64GB, Sonoma) and I've been have been having issues trying to open an old Premiere project. I imported most of the files from my old mac with Time Machine, but I had to reinstall Premiere and the blackmagic plugin because my files weren't linking to the timeline. Now that the plugin is installed I'm still getting these scrolling red bars when I try to play the clips. Rendering doesn't help, any ideas?

I have an issue with my BLACK MAGIC footage. I have with succes made a multiCam cut with mixed BLACK MAGIC footage and sony footage. It is cut in to a documentary. But when is booted the projekt up after some month, it does not connect correctley.

The BLACK MAGIC footage is looking good on the disk, but in premiere the BLACK MAGIC footage is showed as big black and red stribes verticaly.. 

If i try to make it offline and then re-connect media it is the same: Big black and red stribes verticaly.

The onley way i can get it to work it is if i delete it from the projecet and re-import it. BUT then i need to totallty re-cut all my Multi-cam timeline???

Does anyone have a solution or did anyone experience this???

Hi @mikkels23541917 - Can you provide your computer specs? What version of the BRAW plugin do you have installed?  What camera is your footage from?  Can you provide a screenshot of your clip from media properties?

[mikkels23541917]

Black magic raw player 4.2

Footage from:  Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K

Computer: MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) ,  Apple M1 Max, Ram 64 GB

What version of Premiere Pro are you using?

Can you try to clear your media cache? If you hold down "SHIFT" you get the option to clear your media cache.  Have you tried Blackmagic Raw player 4.1?

Would you be able to send me one of these files?  You can use dropbox, wetransfer, etc..  you can email me a link at jamiec@adobe.com

I will... But the file on the disk is fine... It is just the connection to Premiere that is some wht broken.. AND again if i re-import the file its fine....

[mikkels23541917]

Yes i tried the RAW 4.1!!! no difference

Did you originally import the footage from a different version of Premiere Pro.  If so it could be a media cache issue.  Have you tried resetting your media cache?  What version of Premiere Pro are you in?  Does this happen in the beta version of Premiere Pro 24.6?

Hello,

The Blackmagic RAW Plugin is known to have issues like this ... What you can do is to try to switch to the FREE version of our Autokroma third party plugin "BRAW Studio" ! It has the same free features the "Blackmagic RAW" plugin has but without the annoying issues like this and MORE features !

Just download it, then during installation it will ask you to remove the existing Blackmagic RAW plugin, answer yes because both are not compatible ! After that, you will need to convert your existing project to BRAW Studio : https://www.autokroma.com/blog/How-to-convert-your-project-to-BRAW-Studio

If you want more info about differences between the "Blackmagic RAW" plugin and our "BRAW Studio" plugin : check this article.

If you want more info about differences between the FREE and Premium version of "BRAW Studio", check this article.

Feel free to contact us if you have any issues and we will help you !

Best,

Nicolas from Autokroma

Hi @alexanderm60751726 and @mikkels23541917 - What versions of Premiere Pro did you update from?  That seems to be the common bug here.
