Premiere Pro support for Blackmagic RAW is now available

Kid,

This is the link from the BlackMagic site for the BM-RAW 1.5.2 version.

Download/unzip. You get a folder with an installer. Install.

Go to Premiere ... move a clip to a sequence. In the ECP panel, go to the Master Clip tab ... and you should have the controls there. I just installed the 1.5.2 today myself. Though I do prefer the Autokroma plugin, as it has presets available in the plugin itself.

I downloaded Blackmagic RAW 1.5.  The Blackmagic RAW Player is able to play my braw files, but where is the plug-in for Premiere?  This does me no good without the plug-in, I need the files opened in Premiere so I can cut with them.

At this point, how about starting a new and specific thread?

And I can't replicate. On my Win10 system, both the BM and Autokroma plugins work. So let's try and sort this for anyone.

Neil

I'm using the BM plugin on my system, and I'm having issues with the image of the final render.  I shot some green screen footage.  I used Ultra Key to key it out, and Lumetri for color correcting.  When I export, the footage looks very bright and washed out.  I started by exporting through AME, and I tried with GPU acceleration both on and off.  They look identical.  I tried exporting directly from Premiere with the same result.  If I export a still frame, it looks correct. 

I am exporting to H.264.  The footage was originally 4K, but I'm downscalling to 1080.  I tried exporting as full resolution, and still the same.  I also just updated my graphics drivers, but that didn't fix it.

I tried exporting with Ultra Key and Lumetri effects turned off, and it still looks way brighter than was recorded and is displaying in Premiere.

Has anyone else experienced this?  Should I start a new post for it?  The only thing I can think of doing right now is pulling it into Resolve and trying to render out a format that Premiere likes better.

Evan,

I can't replicate your troubles here ... in my Win10 rig, the BM plugin works as expected, and well. Wish I had some advice for changes but I'm not sure of what to change, although typically for plugin troubles it's best to uninstall the plugin, reboot, then reinstall of course. Sometimes that does fix things.

I do like the presets available via the Autokroma BRAW Studio plugin, and so even though I've got the BM one, I've gone back to using the Autokroma plugin for now. But both are available and working on my computer.

Neil

Evan,

Which BRAW plugin are you using, BlackMagic or Autokroma? And on what computer?  Want to get data points on where problems are.

I'm on a 6 core i7 PC, and both BM and Autokroma plugins are working for my rig.

Neil

When installing plugins,  they have their Installer file typically as the Autokroma does. Or instructions for copying files/folders to specific spots.

Install with Premiere closed.

After installing relaunch Premiere.

Both Autokroma's BRAW plugin and the BlackMagic plugin installed easily for my PC.

So if you're having trouble please post in detail how you installed them.

Neil

Aldarz,

Have you installed either the BlackMagic or Autokroma BRAW plugins?

Neil

Kirill,

Which plugin are you using, BlackMagic or Autokroma? Both include an installer file in their download, did you use that to install?

The plugins of course appear only in the Effects Control panel in the Master Clip, which is the left tab of the two at the top of the ECP.

So further comments ast to what specific steps you've taken and the results is needed to help.

Neil

I don't know why, but Blackmagic plugin doesn't work on my PC. I have Windows 10 and last version of Premiere Pro.
