.dng filesTechnical Specifications
BRAW Studio is comprised of three installed plugins, adding a new .braw format to be imported to Adobe CC (Premiere Pro, Media Encoder and After Effects). In Premiere Pro, you can access the Blackmagic RAW params in our brand new BRAW Studio Source Settings Panel. This Panel also provides useful utility and workflow features, for example correcting NTSC timecodes and importing your footages metadata (Panel UI is available in Window top menu -> Extensions). On After Effects you will be able to use the BRAW Studio Layer Settings effect.
Requirements
- One license is for the same user on up to two computers not used at the same time
- MacOS Intel and Apple Silicon : 10.14 (Mojave) to 11 (Big Sur)
- Microsoft Windows : version 7 / 8.1 / 10
- Adobe CC 2017 to 2021 included
- CPU : at least SSE4.1 instructions set. Most CPUs before 2008 are not compatible (e.g. AMD Phenom II. AMD Phenom II X6 is not compatible !). Compatibility with Intel starts with Core 2 Penryn architecture in 2008.This is a limitation of the BRAW API
Known bugs
- You can't use properly the PrPro Project Manager with .braw files but you can use PlumePack instead
- If you need to use
Replace Clipfeature in Premiere Pro to change one of your source by another, there could be conflicts afterward with the Source Settings (the ISO List could be wrong and the sidecar file will stay to its old path). However, after usingReplace Clip, you can save your project, close and restart Premiere Pro and everything will be fine. - Do not save/apply preset on the Source Settings, please read our article about alternative methods
- Adobe timecode bug : Media Start timecode for NTSC footage of 29.97fps is wrong (23.97fps footages also for old Premiere Pro versions before 14.3). This also means you can't export Final Cut Pro XML and import the timeline into DaVinci Resolve properly. Please follow our article to solve this issue
- Please note all thoses bugs are from Adobe and you will also experience them using Blackmagic's PrPro plugin
Please use the 500 Frames Trial before buying
How to install : unzip and use the included installer !

- Color Science Version 5 available for all .BRAW. Note : in this new Gen5, the curve is fixed so ISO and Exposure have the same effect, see CaptainHook message here https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=123096#p675106.

- Note 2 : for all recent .BRAW (URSA 12K, BMPCC 6K Pro, recent firmware), Camera Metadata default values are Color Science at V5 and "Use Gamut Compression" enabled. We recommend turning off the latter, unless you really need it.

- New Color Spaces (Gamuts) : Alexa Wide Gamut, DaVinci Wide Gamut
- New Gammas : Log C, DaVinci Intermediate
- Bug fix : incorrect resolution for 2.8K footage (for example it was 2868x1512 instead of 2864x1512), see https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=110719. Don't forget to change your sequences with this new correct resolution !
- Note 1 : URSA 12K frames are huge, in PrPro we recommend using Playback and Paused Resolution at 1/4, in AEfx please use our Layer Settings with GPU acceleration (Metal / CUDA / OpenCL) enabled in the Settings
- Note 2 : for all recent .BRAW (URSA 12K, BMPCC 6K Pro, recent firmware), Camera Metadata default values are Color Science at V5 and "Use Gamut Compression" enabled. We recommend turning off the latter, unless you really need it.
* .sidecar and .braw2 (from Dual Card recording) files will be copied when using AEfx "Collect Files" and PrPro "Collect and Copy" from the Project Manager, on PrPro only for filepath with Latin-1 characters. If you have an issue please contact us ! https://www.autokroma.com/contact

- Color Science Version 5 available for all .BRAW. Note : in this new Gen5, the curve is fixed so ISO and Exposure have the same effect, see CaptainHook message here https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=123096#p675106. Now we have a new Param for Color Science in BRAW Settings because before there was only Version 4

WARNING : this Param is in BETA ! Do not use if not really needed, until BRAW 2.1 is out and BRAW Studio updated. Disable this if automatically enabled.

- You can now control Source Settings of your .BRAW clips directly in your BRAW Studio Panel with a dedicated interface : no need to switch onto the Master tab anymore
- The Source Settings currently showed are updated when you select a .BRAW Project Item (in the Project Panel) or a .BRAW Clip (on a timeline)
- Multiple Selection Mode when you select multiple braw : you can batch apply Global Presets to all selected .BRAW, Save or Load sidecar and use the "Reset" buttons
- "Next" and "Prev" buttons can be used to move from BRAW to BRAW throughout the timeline (next .BRAW will be the one closest in time to currently selected .BRAW)
- You'll get a warning if you select a .BRAW clip with a Proxy attached and enabled
* New Feature, Auto Correct Tool for "PrPro 2020 Relocating Shift Issue" in our Panel :
- This issue is happening when files needs to be relocated and others files than .BRAW can be concerned, more info here https://www.autokroma.com/blog/Premiere-Pro-Timeline-Shift-First-Frame-After-Moving-Project-Relinking
- We now have a new way to auto-correct your .prproj (Premiere Pro project file) directly, by relocating the files inside (any extension)
- This new tool is in the "Shift Issues" tab of the BRAW Studio Panel, you will find there instructions to use it
* Presets and Copy/Paste : when pasting Source Settings (or loading Premiere Pro presets), if "As Ashot" was selected in the initial clip, it will be applied to the pasted clip, even if the White Balance values are not the same
* When switching to Camera Metadata or BRAW Default, the disabled values in the Effect Controls Panel in this mode are no more updated. You can still see what values are inside Camera Metadata / BRAW Default by clicking on the "Reset" buttons
* Global Presets can be transferred more easily from one computer to another by copy pasting BRAW Studio Global Preset files
