    After working a couple weeks with the BlackMagic BRAW plugin, I've gone back to the Autokroma plugin. For now at least. Both work pretty good.

      I have been using Autokroma's BRAW plugin for a couple months, and it worked ok. Saw this, uninstalled the Autokroma plugin and installed the BM official one.

       

      Very similar, a couple options that didn't actually work in the Autokroma one do in the official BlackMagic one.

       

      The only pain is I've needed to recreate the projects as after uninstalling the Autokroma and installing the BM plugin, even rebooting  ... the program will not display the media and gives a warning message.

       

      Importing into a new project file works to get past that.

       

      And free is a very good price.

        Article: BlackmagicRaw Plugin and BRAW Studio - What's the difference ?

        "Today Blackmagic Design released their own plugin for Premiere Pro and Media Encoder to decode BRAW. In this article we will talk about the differences between BRAW Studio and BMD’s plugin."

          It's not funny. On September 14, BlackmagicDesign published a .braw format. September 21, they posted the SDK. On November 14, they posted updates and made braw player.

          • Scratch Play Pro since September 16 support .braw
          • On October 19, Lightworks began supporting codec.
          • Even for Nuke there is a plugin for reading files.

          It has been 76 days since the SDK open access release.

          What did Adobe do? Nothing!

          And you know, work in a davinchi is not so bad. Especially if you don’t like constant roundtrips.

          Hi there, AndreySNK!

          This is a really common request and we understand the importance of supporting BRAW footage! I'm not sure about the inner workings of the engineering team and I don't know exactly what they're working on at the moment, but I know that they check this page below to see what users want/need! You can see from the link that BRAW support is at the top of the list, which leads me to believe that they'll get to it as soon as they can.
