Blackmagic Forum

I tried searching the forum first for this, however it really didn't return any results.

Does anyone know if BMD is working on GPU decoding of BRAW in Adobe Premiere CC? That would REALLY accelerate my post output process. Right now, entire projects are simply waiting on the CPU to decode the BRAW footage at approximately 70%-80% CPU usage.

System:
Win10
i7-6800K
32 GB RAM
Nvidia GTX-1080

Hi Todd,

The Blackmagic Raw plugin for Premiere Pro made by Blackmagic Design might use the GPU yes. BUT Premiere Pro decoders are not made to work fully with GPU natively, so the BRAW frame has to go back to CPU anyway so the speedup is not that great compared to what it could be theoretically. For your setup our BRAW Studio plugin also has CPU-GPU (CUDA nVidia) decoding. And for After Effects there is a full GPU CUDA nVidia decoding available in the Layer Settings
