P: ProRes RAW will not play correctly on a Windows computer with an AMD GPU.

When I try to import Prores Raw files I get the dreaded "ProRes RAW video could not be decoded" message. The files are imported and audio can be played but I get a black screen.

I am running the latest version of Premeire Pro, with the latest AMD GPU drivers.

My system is a desktop running:

Windows 10 Pro  Version 10.0.19045
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
AMD RX 6800 XT
64GB RAM

The wierd thing is my laptop running windows 11 with an Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU (with much lower specs) is able to import it fine, so I'm guessing there is an issue with AMD.

Need help to sovle this URGENTLY! This is a huge project for  avrey important client.

Hello

I had a frustrating problem and I found a solution, so I wanted to share it with the community.

I'm running a Razer Blade 14 laptop with an AMD 6800U CPU and an RTX 3070ti dGPU running Win11. All software (windows, Premiere, Apple Prores, Nvidia Drivers, etc) is the latest version.  When I imported Prores RAW into Premiere it was blank, although I could hear the audio. Premiere gave me an error message:

'Prores RAW video could not be decoded.' Man I hate that message.
Long story short, I saw a reference in one of the threads on here about disabling the integrated GPU. I tried that and, Voila! Prores played fine in Premiere Pro. Thats the problem, integrated AMD GPU's don't play nice with dedicated Nvidia one with Prores RAW.
I hope that someone finds this and it spares them the nasty day that I had pulling my hair out to find a solution.

Hi there!

As the title says, and has been an issue for others for quite some time, my ProRes Raw footage will not decode in Premiere Pro. I have installed the ProRes RAW for Windows from apple. Regular ProRes footage is working just fine. It is the RAW that will only show a blue screen...

Here my technical specs:
- Windows 10

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X

- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 OC PULSE

- RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x16GB

- ProRes RAW for Windows V1.3 (latest)

- Premiere Pro V23.4 (latest)

- Mercury playback OpenLC
- Recorded on Ninja V+ from Sony Fs5

I know that it is not an issue on the Nvidia GPU's that can use the CUDA playback. Somewhere it got suggested to try installing the Nvidia Driver. I desperately tried, but that obviously does not work with my setup. 

I truly hope anyone has the solution for me. I don't want to be needing to buy a new Nvidia GPU...

Thanks in advance

Hi @Lagunaman505 
Have you found any kind of solution to this? I am having the same problem with my card. I read a lot about how AMD is not compatible with the ProRes RAW. Please let me know

Hello, I am seeking help with importing Prores Raw in a windows environment.

PC Specs: AMD 5950x CPU

Radeon 6900 XT GPU

128 GB Ram

Using Windows 10 & 11

Using Adobe Premier Pro CC v22 (latest verison).

Apple Decoder  1.3 installed.

Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL) Choses in Premier Pro.

When I drag a the file into Premier , it does not decode and only audio plays. I have the latest Windows 11 updates and I event went back to Windows 10 and still doesnt decode.

I did my research before hand and I built this pricey pc hoping to be able to edit in Windows but maybe not haha. Any help would be appreciated.
I am getting the raw file from a Ninja V.

i see help page.

it said  Premiere Pro 15.4

     support AMD （opencl） decode prores raw

i use AMD Vega64 drivers is 21.7.1

intell Apple ProRes RAW for Windows 1.3

but it can't decode prores raw from my ninja v

why? who can tell me?

So I switched from Nvidia to AMD GPU recently, 6900XT and having 5900X AMD CPU as well. I've been trying to get ProRes RAW working on Premiere Pro and have no luck. I'm using Nikon Z6 with Ninja V recorder and all my RAW files are now unplayable. Windows 10.

As I've been in contact with Adobe about this issue and they have spent hours via remote support, they have given me very mixed answers and there has been no help so far. The last one they told is uninstalling some Windows update. So I reinstalled my Windows, uninstalled everything from scratch - nothing. Files are black, only the sound. All the settings and software needed is installed. So it can't be a Windows update.

As I've runned out any thoughts maybe any of you had similar issues and suggest trying something out?Google finds almost nothing in this matter and it looks like the ProRes on Windows is dead at the moment.

Thanks!
