I can't believe that I just realized that I am unable to use Braw with Adobe Premiere.

This is a really frustrating subject, I´ve been with Adobe for quite some time, but not being able to use my BMPCC4K-BRAW-footage is really making me question that pricy subscription.

[fritzunruh]

Unfortunately I cannot, since I'm on a mac. Plus I'd really like to avoid a plugin just to import my footage.

Of course, mainly Adobe needs to get over its paranoia and simply provide support to BRAW (like it does to other camera manufacturers like Sony who throw money at them, like the Venice getting V3 codec support pretty much instantly last week).

But don't forget that RAW import is sort of always like a plug-in anyway.  Think of Adobe Bridge/Lightroom/Photoshop and how modules have always performed the import.  BRAW Studio (currently for Windows only, which is the best OS platform for serious editing anyway) actually works impressively well in their newest version, and feels essentially transparent as a user experience.  Give it a try, until Adobe gets over itself.

+1 for .braw support ASAP

Adobe, will there be an update coming for BRAW support in Premiere and AE? Please, please, please! We are an Adobe shop through-and-through but BRAW is such a game changer for us that we've been editing in DaVinci on recent projects. We don't want to leave

To keep holding us over (though Adobe needs to step up), Autokroma's BRAW Studio really does work; and I've created an hour-long video tutorial that goes in-depth showing how:

One of my conclusions is that whenever Adobe finally comes around, it probably won't function much differently than this third-party plug-in (because RAW files still require a step of configuration at the clip level anyway).

We really need the support for .braw in Premiere and AE - time to fix it!

+12 for .braw support!

Thanks,

This was a solution from Blackmagic Design - NOT Adobe. Adobe still doesn't support Blackmagic RAW format natively, and it STILL can't be dynamically linked and used in AFTER EFFECTS. The reason I stay with Adobe is AFTER EFFECTS. How is Blackmagic Design's band-aid a solution a proper answer for Adobe??

BMD RAW: Dopesheet

BMD RAW Dopesheet: Blackmagic RAW 1.5

[R Neil Haugen]

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.

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

[georgel42304061]

i am having the same problem, i have install blackmagic raw 1.5 but still when i import blackmagic files into premiere pro it says unsupported formats.

[R Neil Haugen]

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.

Pr didn't even import braw files

[R Neil Haugen]

Aldarz,

Have you installed either the BlackMagic or Autokroma BRAW plugins?

Neil

[R Neil Haugen]

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.

Premiere seems to be unreliable setting Braw settings. Many slider changes do not update in the image and it is totally frustrating situation. It is funny because using the free "brawplayer" i could instantly create a custom sidecar with the settings of my liking.
