BRAW Player not opening

PostThu Mar 28, 2024 5:11 am

Hey folks!

I seem to be having a problem with the Blackmagic Raw Player.

When I double click a BRAW file in finder, the raw player icon will pop up in the taskbar for a second, but nothing will happen. The program itself doesn't seem to open properly. Similarly, Resolve doesn't seem to recognise the files when I try to import them.

I'm using the latest version of the raw player, as well as Resolve version 18.0b Build 10. It's a 2017 Macbook Pro on Catalina version 10.15.4 with a 2.3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 and 8gb of RAM.

Any helps is greatly appreciated - thank you!

Your RAM is too small and you have no sufficient GPU. Time for a new machine, I'm afraid.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.

I thought that might be the case! I've never had any issue opening BRAW files with this system before - could something have changed?

Which camera? You are still using an old beta build and newer versions need Monterey.
