Thanks for all the feedback. It’s pretty clear that we’ve got to look into the workflow using this format more closely, there are enough reports about gaps at this point to reopen this item. I’ll post more info about next steps shortly. In the meantime, a couple of questions are easy to answer:

- The plugin is designed for Premiere Pro. It currently doesn’t provide support for After Effects.
- It does work with AME, so if you want to use it for batch processing, that’s very doable
- If you’ve started a project with Autokroma, there’s no easy way to transfer it to be running with the new plugin.

    Yes, I am having loads of crashes. Just trying to get through this current project before I return to more familiar work flow- this just isn't reliable yet.

    I'm having a crash every 15 mins, running a high spec imac (2019) 64GB ram, latest updates. Can't see a pattern of cause. I'm also getting some strange behaviour like a braw clip picking up audio from a completely different file and also master files affected by colour changes according to where I position playhead. I'm fairly new to working with raw files, maybe I'm the bug!

    This is not a solution.

    Antoine, any word on when you think Autokroma's BRAW Studio for AFTER EFFECTS might be ready? ETA?

  • Dave commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I installed the plug in yet it still does not recognized braw files.

  • Antoine (Autokroma.com) commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Hi,
    The plugins are not compatible between them and it's a BMD plugin bug. You can't open old projects created with BRAW Studio.
    It seems out of our hands, but we will study this nonetheless and keep you up to date

    same here! installed it to try it out and now all the braw footage is black and red bars.

  • Thomas commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I have the Autokroma plugin and after installing BRAW 1.5 I'm finding I can no longer see my footage in Premiere but am instead getting red and black bars. I'm assuming having the two just isn't compatible? So which one do I use (Antoine, you've been great, and already have my money which was very worth it, so would love your input on this). I should note that once deleting braw 1.5 again it seems to go back to normal.

    Antoine, is it possible to make Autokroma BRAW Studio give us the functionality to copy paste BRAW settings when pasting attributes to another clip?

  • HumblePixel commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    As a subscriber I still expect Adobe developers to provide BRAW native support that is GPU accelerated - at some point! This is not a resolved issue, it is another plug in along the lines of Autokrama that Adobe are thankful for and leaping on to claim 'progress'.

    Patrick, wow! You do exist!

    Seriously, Thank you for responding. You don't know how much it means to just hear a voice that shows you actually care.

    Seriously, Thank you.

    We need this for AFTER EFFECTS.

    Please. Whatever your current relationship is with Blackmagic Design in the development of this plugin, or whether you develop it natively, please make it possible to export and dynamically link to After Effects.

    That's all I want. I think that's all any of us want.

    Again, I sincerely thank you for responding.

    Good to hear from you and thanks for acknowledging the lack of communication- it’s annoying. Please be more responsive in future.

    2 questions:

    1. What are the plans for after effects? (this is a critical matter for our business).

    2. Is this a short-term fix while you develop your own, native, solution or are you satisfied that this plugin meets customer needs?

    And finally just to explain why ‘native’ is important to me- I’d like adobe to take ownership of this functionality. We pay for a lot of money for the CC subscription over the years and I strongly believe that this responsibility sits with adobe- maybe you disagree. I want to know that Braw is properly tested, integrated across all of your CC apps and fully supported.

    Thanks very much. Ric

    A couple of quick comments around some of the questions that have come up so far:

    - point well taken on the radio silence that's been going on for a while
    - For the limited testing that I've done myself, performance seems just fine. But by all means, check it out and let us know if you're running into any issues
    - AME workflows are covered for all I know, will confirm with engineering asap, stay tuned

    Ahaha! How embarrassing that Blackmagic beat you to fixing your own software, Adobe!

    Thank you Blackmagic! (Looks like people saying it's slow?? If so just use proxies with it.)

  • Nick Lavigne commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This isn't native support it's a plug in that doesn't even use the gpu, the main advantage of BRaw. We wanted full written by Adobe support. The insane thing is that you just announced you will be doing this for Prores Raw, which is far less used than Braw, what gives?

  • cody commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Wow, there are a lot of complainers here. I believe Adobe and Blackmagic worked together to make this. And here it is. And YET, no one seems happy.

    There is now official support for BRaw in Premiere Pro. And it seems to run fine for me. Also, it will no doubt get better.

    But by all means keep complaining if you'd like. OR buy Autokroma's plugin (which worked pretty well too and has some nice extra features before the official support). Or tell us how much more you like Resolve. Just keep complaining.
