  • New BRAW Studio Desktop App (Player & Color Grader) :
    • Player : BRAW Studio now includes a Windows / macOS native desktop application which can play your .BRAW Files but also modify the BRAW Settings just like with the Source Settings and Layer Settings !
    • Update Sidecar : after changing BRAW Settings in the BRAW Studio App, export them to the sidecar : so this new color grade should automatically be loaded whatever the app you choose to import your BRAW file then (Camera Metadata workflow)
    • Lossless Trimming tool : import your BRAW file, set In / Out time points and export a new smaller BRAW file with the exact same quality and metadata than the original ! Only unused video frames and unused audio samples are properly removed
    • Include Custom LUT in .Sidecar : you can choose to use a custom .cube LUT and attach it to your BRAW file through the .sidecar file. The LUT will be processed with the BRAW SDK and gives you the best quality !
    • Metadata Viewer : a special Metadata Tab with all your BRAW Metadata !
    • Windows : it replaces the Blackmagic RAW Player from BMD as default BRAW App Opener and also generates itself the BRAW Thumbnails in Explorer, so the Blackmagic RAW Player is not needed anymore

  • New White Balance Picker Tool :
    • You can now automatically click inside your .BRAW File at a given frame to select what "White" (also works with Grey) should be, like Eyedroppers in others apps. The White Balance Tool will set Color Temperature and Tint so that the selected pixel is the closest possible to White / Grey
    • Available from the BRAW Studio Panel and the Source Settings in Premiere Pro , the Layer Settings in After Effects and the new Desktop App

  • New Premiere Pro Metadata Organizer Tool inside the BRAW Studio Panel : Import your .BRAW files and automatically class them in different sub "Bins" in Premiere Pro depending on their metadata : Reel / Scene / Take / Good Take
  • Premiere Pro BRAW Studio Panel Improvements :
    • When selecting a MultiCam Sequence Clip in Timeline which contains only one BRAW file (for Audio Sync), the .BRAW file is directly selected
    • New "Ctrl+Z" or "Ctrl+Shift+Z" shortcuts when the panel is selected : they will do the same action than clicking on "Undo" or "Redo" buttons
    • New "Ctrl+C" or "Ctrl+V" shortcuts when the panel is selected : they will do the same action than clicking on "Copy" or "Paste" buttons
    • Note about the new shortcuts : when the panel is selected they will not affect other Premiere Pro actions
    • If you maintain the "Shift" key of your keyboard while dragging a slider, it slightly drag the slider so you can set more precise values
    • Increased a bit sizes of "Thumb" sliders size so they are easier to drag

  • Windows :
    • You can run our Install and Uninstaller .exe in command line like this : 'start "Autokroma" /wait /b "InstallerOrUninstaller.exe" /S', for our uninstaller you can pass an argument to specify which product to uninstall like this : '-Uninstall_BRAW_Studio' and/or '-Uninstall_BMD'. Do not forget to run your Terminal as Administrator, otherwise you will need user interaction to confirm the Administrator rights prompt. This also works using Microsoft SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) to automate deployment
    • When launching our Installer in recent versions there was a "Do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device ?" yellow popup, now correctly replaced with the good Verified publisher blue popup

  • Fixed :
    • When using the "Add LUT To Sidecar" button in the panel with some kind of LUTs, it could involve immediate crash until the sidecar was removed

2.7.2 - 19 May 2022

  • PrPro Panel :
    • New Buttons "Select All in Project" and "Select All in Sequence" to select all .BRAW Clips respectively in the project or only inside the current sequence. This will help you do numerous batch tasks, such as updating / loading all sidecars files, generating all the Merged Clips info once (saved popup bug) and not later, initializing all the .BRAW clips Source Settings info in case you have lots of .BRAW and you want to avoid BRAW Studio Panel to initialize them later on etc.. Another practical use of this is to batch change Source Settings, for example now you are able to make exports with two different .BRAW color grade with only a few clicks, by storing the first color grade inside Custom A and the second Color Grade inside Custom B
    • Prev And Next buttons are not disabled anymore when no clip is selected. They now select the first or last clip in the timeline in that case

    • Fixed : when saving Sidecar in Multiple Selection mode, there was only one sidecar updated, now all of them are properly updated
    • Fixed : Project Conversion from BMD plugin to BRAW Studio (in the PrPro Panel Toolbox) could be blocked and was never finishing if the Source Settings effect was absent

      • Support for Dual Card Recording, it will produce a separate .braw2 file with half of the frames. If this file is missing the imported main .braw file will only report half the framerate you recorded
      • 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
      • New Param in BRAW Settings : "Use Gamut Compression" checkbox will protect your extreme highlights, in the PrPro Panel it is next to the Color Space (Gamut) choice. 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.

      • 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

    • New feature : BRAW Studio Presets ! You can now save and load up to 10 different Settings Presets from any Source Settings !
    • [Windows] You can now test our CPU-CUDA implementation, not fully optimized yet, by enabling the option in the Settings popup. Send us your feedback !
    • New "BRAW Studio Desktop" standalone popup next to the plugins (in MediaCore/Autokroma BRAW Studio/) so you can access Settings & License more easily ! Shortcut will be created on your Desktop & Programs Menu (Windows) or your Applications (Mac)
    • BRAW API 1.5 update : now that Blackmagic has a new plugin, BRAW Studio will take priority over it by default : you can disable this in the Settings popup. You'll need to restart Adobe software to take that change into account
    • "Decode Using : Clip" is now called "Decode Using : Custom" : the term "Clip" was taken from Resolve, but has multiple meaning in Premiere Pro, which can be confusing. BRAW Studio Source Settings applies for all instances of the Source Clip on all timelines of the current project. "Clip" is also used to refer to instances of Source Clips in timelines; they can have different properties and effect without affecting the Source Clip imported.
    • Sidecar :
      • LUT (Embedded or from Sidecar) is working now with Load / Update Sidecar buttons : it will store the state of the LUT (Disabled / Embedded / Sidecar) but not the data.
      • Fixed Load Sidecar issue : if Gamma was "Blackmagic Design Custom", Gamma Controls were not loaded correctly
    • BRAW_Studio.prm (.bundle on Mac) has been renamed to BRAW_Studio_Importer.prm (.bundle on Mac) to not mix it up with our new BRAW_Studio.exe (.app on Mac)
