# 1.3.6 (64)

🎉 Released:

  • Thursday 7th December 2023

🐞 Bug Fix:

  • Fixed a potential crash that we've been trying to solve for ages. On SOME systems (specifically systems with Mac2 family GPUs), Apple's Metal Framework would generate a Metal Texture that the Metal Performance Shader in the Mac couldn't actually work with, causing a crash deep within Apple's code. It was very hard to reproduce, as it only happened on certain systems - and none of ours. HUGE thank you to Apple Developer Technical Support, the Final Cut Pro Team, AdrianEddy and Warren Moore for all their constant and on-going help, assistance, guidance, patience and support!

  • Fixed a potential crash when pressing the Remove Selected button in the Workflow Extension.

# 1.3.4 (62)

🎉 Released:

  • Tuesday 14th November 2023

🐞 Bug Fix:

  • In the previous BRAW Toolbox v1.3.3 (59) release, we made some major under-the-hood changes to improve playback performance (such as only using one shared instance of the BRAW SDK Factory). Unfortunately however, those changes resulted in the BRAW SDK not releasing used threads correctly, and as the thread count grew, eventually the BRAW Toolbox Renderer would stop working correctly in Final Cut Pro. This would only really happen on older machines, and Libraries with hundreds of BRAW clips. We've now reverted back to how we were doing things in v1.3.2 (57) and earlier, with some additional checks and protections. We will continue to research and explore ways we can improve playback performance, so that the export times of timelines with BRAW clips in Final Cut Pro get closer to what you see in DaVinci Resolve.

# 1.3.3 (59)

🎉 Released:

  • Saturday 7th October 2023

🎉 Released:

  • Tuesday 11th July 2023

🔨 Improvements:

  • Added support for Panasonic Lumix GH6 Blackmagic RAW clips.
  • Updated from Blackmagic RAW SDK v3.2 to v3.3.

# 1.2.2 (54)

🎉 Released:

  • Thursday 22nd June 2023

🐞 Bug Fix:

  • We've added a bunch of additional checks to the FxPlug4 Renderer, to ensure that all objects received from the Blackmagic RAW SDK are valid and correct to avoid any potential crashes due to referencing null pointers. Thanks for reporting Dominik Radecki! Big thanks to the Blackmagic RAW team and Final Cut Pro team for all their help and support!

# 1.2.1 (53)

🎉 Released:

  • Thursday 22nd June 2023

🐞 Bug Fix:

  • The Workflow Extension now gracefully aborts (instead of crashing), and shows an error message if a BRAW clip is corrupt, and the metadata can't be read. Thanks for reporting Dominik Radecki!

# 1.2.0 (52)

🎉 Released:

  • Thursday 15th June 2023

🔨 Improvements:

  • Added support for Fujifilm X-S20 Blackmagic RAW clips.
  • Updated from Blackmagic RAW SDK v3.1 to v3.2.

# 1.1.4 (51)

🎉 Released:

  • Tuesday 13th June 2023

🐞 Bug Fixes:

  • Thanks to the help and support of the awesome Final Cut Pro team, we finally have a workaround to the Synchronised Clips bug. Previously, Synchronised Clips could cause random glitches during playback, and produce unexpected results in some, but not all, cases. As a result, in BRAW Toolbox v1.1.1 we made Create Multicam Clips the default option as a workaround to this issue. We now know this was actually due to the fact that we're applying the BRAW Toolbox effect to a Custom Solids Generator. Whilst Final Cut Pro worked correctly when scrubbing and skimming a clip, during playback, because the Custom generator normally doesn't change its output (i.e. it's always a static colour), Final Cut Pro was using a cached frame, rather than rendering a new frame, which caused the glitches. Essentially, it's very unusual for an Effect to change the output of a Generator, so we were getting unpredictable results. We now workaround this issue by simply applying keyframes to the Custom Solid, so that Final Cut Pro always renders the frames - simple, but effective. To fix Synchronized Clips created in earlier versions of BRAW Toolbox, we've added a Repair Synchronized Clips (prior to v1.1.3) Toolbox, which will add keyframes to all your Generators within the BRAW Toolbox Clip. HUGE thank you to Tangier Clarke for supplying a reproducible library to help us solve this annoying bug. We'll leave Create Multicam Clips on by default, however you will no longer get a warning message when you toggle this preference.

# 1.1.3 (50)

🎉 Released:

  • Monday 5th June 2023

🔨 Improvements:

  • We've redesigned our re-linking toolbox, and renamed it "Relink BRAW Clips within an LIBRARY / EVENT / PROJECT". You can now relink libraries, events and projects! Thanks for your on-going help and support Tangier Clarke!
  • We've improved the error messaging in Final Cut Pro when a BRAW Toolbox clip is offline.

# 1.1.2 (49)

🎉 Released:

  • 25th May 2023

🔨 Improvements:

  • Added support for Panasonic LUMIX S5II and S5IIX Blackmagic RAW clips.
  • Updated from Blackmagic RAW SDK v3.0 to v3.1.

# 1.1.1 (48)

🎉 Released:

  • 9th May 2023

🔨 Improvements:

  • Create Multicam Clips is now enabled by default. When disabling this setting, you're now also presented with some warning information. This is due to a bug in Final Cut Pro 10.6.5 that sometimes incorrectly plays the wrong frames in Synchronised Clips. We now recommend always using Multicam Clips, unless you're planning to create new Multicam Clips by either manually creating them in Final Cut Pro, or using a third-party tool such as Sync-N-Link.

🐞 Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug introduced in v1.1.0 where error messages are incorrectly flipped vertically.

# 1.1.0 (47)

🎉 Released:

  • 18th April 2023

🔨 Improvements:

  • Added support for Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K OLPF.
  • Added support for automatically rotating vertical video clips.
  • Added metadata descriptions for Offspeed and Rotation.
  • Updated from Blackmagic RAW SDK v2.8 to v3.0.

# 1.0.8 (46)

🎉 Released:

  • 10th April 2023

🐞 Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug in the main installation application where the Install LUTs button could fail in certain circumstances. Thanks for reporting Tangier Clarke!
  • We now use a different method to detect the users home directory, to workaround a rare case where the home directory is different than what macOS reports due to a previous macOS installation. Thanks for reporting Kevin Lyons!

# 1.0.7 (45)

🎉 Released:

  • 9th April 2023

🐞 Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug where the Show Parameters button wouldn't do anything if a BRAW clip's security-scope bookmark could not be resolved. This could happen if you were using the "Grant Sandbox Access" to access a BRAW clip. Thanks for reporting Tangier Clarke!

# 1.0.6 (44)

🎉 Released:

  • 2nd March 2023

🐞 Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a maths rounding bug, where clips could occasionally show two duplicate frames. Thanks for reporting Leigh Emmerson!

  • Fixed a sandboxing issue where the BRAW Toolbox Workflow Extension and FxPlug4 Renderer didn't have read access to spanned BRAW clips. Thanks for reporting Big Emus!
  • The BRAW Toolbox Wrapper application no longer requests Owner Rank for BRAW files. Thanks for reporting Uli Plank!

# 1.0.4 (38)

🎉 Released:

  • 22nd February 2023

# 1.0.3 (37)

🎉 Released:

  • 15th February 2023

🔨 Improvements:

  • We now show Packages (such as a Final Cut Pro Library) as ordinary folders in the Import BRAW Files and Choose Audio Folder open panels. This allows you to more easily keep your BRAW files and audio files within a Final Cut Pro Library, for easy media management. Thanks for suggesting thermidorthelobster!

# 1.0.2 (36)

🎉 Released:

  • 10th February 2023

  • We now default to using Dual Mono Audio instead of Stereo. Thanks Marks07-stack!
  • Add setting to Change Import Event Name in the Workflow Extension. Thanks George Elias!
  • If you press play and change clips in the Workflow Extension, we now continue playing. Thanks Daniel Horvath!
  • You can now use the J and L keyboard shortcuts to control the playback speed in the Workflow Extension. Thanks Indigo Film School!
  • We have simplified the FCPXML that BRAW Toolbox generates to speed up Final Cut Pro importing BRAW clips.
  • We now use a Bilinear Scale filter instead of a Lanczos Scale filter for processing thumbnails, to speed up Final Cut Pro's thumbnail creation.
  • Added a Reveal in Finder menu item to the Global Settings button in the Final Cut Pro Inspector.
  • If you go inside a BRAW Toolbox Synchronised Clip, you'll now see the Generator is labelled "This is just a Custom Solid Generator that contains the BRAW Toolbox effect. Do not cut or trim. You can access the RAW attributes via the BRAW Toolbox effect on this clip." - to help avoid any confusion.

🐞 Bug Fixes:

  • We've re-engineered how we render BRAW frames, so that we don't use up hundreds or thousands of threads. Thanks to Blackmagic & Apple for all their help solving this!
  • We now attempt to render each BRAW frame five times before giving up. This will hopefully reduce the chances of seeing any red error frames.
  • Fixed a bug which prevented the Reset Checked Items from doing anything. Thanks Iain Anderson!
  • The Custom Gamma Selection Checkboxes now enabled/disable correctly when changing the Gamma mode. Thanks Iain Anderson!
  • Fixed a bug which caused the Workflow Extension to freeze, when importing Panasonic S1H clips that don't have timecode. Thanks for reporting Jamie Nyhan!

🎉 Released:

  • 14th January 2023

📝 Note:

  • The Motion Templates and Metadata View has been updated in this release. You now also need to install the LUTs when you first run the application (used for HDR).
  • We no longer store the Metadata View in the /Library/Application Support/ProApps/Metadata Definitions/ folder - it's now stored in the user library. You should manually delete the BRAW Toolbox.plist file in this folder if you've used earlier beta builds.

🔨 Improvements:

  • We've re-designed the Metal pipeline, to HOPEFULLY improve performance on older 2013 Mac Pro's with Dual AMD FirePro D500. These changes MIGHT also improve performance on other systems. Thanks for reporting @tangierc!
  • Thanks to the amazing Marc Bach & Jamie Lejeune, we've redesigned how BRAW Toolbox handles HDR content, so it better matches DaVinci Resolve.
  • There are now Color Space settings in the Settings button (the gear icon) within the Workflow Extension. This controls the Player in the Workflow Extension, and also the settings of the Synchronised Clips or Multicam Clips that are imported into Final Cut Pro.
  • If you select the DaVinci Wide Gamut Color Space/Gamut and DaVinci Intermediate Gamma, there's now also an option within the Settings button to enable a special LUT which gets applied within Final Cut Pro (the effect of the LUT isn't visible in the Workflow Extension) to better match DaVinci Resolve.

# 1.0.0 (19) - Public Beta 6

🎉 Released:

  • 7th January 2023

📝 Note:

  • There are no changes to the Motion Template or Metadata View in this beta.

🔨 Improvements:

  • Added a Settings button (the gear icon), with the ability to Create Multicam Clips instead of Synchronised Clips. Thanks for suggesting @TheDaveChap!
  • Convert PROJECT to Resolve Friendly FCPXML has been improved so that Audio Attributes and Rate Conform settings come across more accurately between Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve. Thanks for reporting @markspen!
  • If the Color Space is set to Rec.2020, and the Gamma is set to Rec.2100 ST2084 (PQ) in the Workflow Extension, we'll use the Rec. 2020 PQ setting for this clip in Final Cut Pro. Thanks for suggesting @JW144754!
  • If the Color Space is set to Rec.2020, and the Gamma is set to Rec.2100 Hybrid Log Gamma in the Workflow Extension, we'll use the Rec. 2020 HLG setting for this clip in Final Cut Pro. Thanks for suggesting @JW144754!
  • If the Color Space is set to Rec.2020, and the Gamma is set to something other than PQ or HLG in the Workflow Extension, we'll use the Rec. 2020 setting for this clip in Final Cut Pro. Thanks for suggesting @JW144754!

🐞 Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug where clicking the Gamma checkbox, and then Apply Checked To All would fail.

# 1.0.0 (18) - Public Beta 5

🎉 Released:

  • 6th January 2023

📝 Note:

  • There are no changes to the Motion Template or Metadata View in this beta.

🐞 Bug Fixes:

  • Sliders in the Workflow Extension are now all continuous, and update the Viewer instantly.
  • Added Tooltips to the Workflow Extension.

# 1.0.0 (16) - Public Beta 3

🎉 Released:

  • 5th January 2023

📝 Note:

  • There are no changes to the Motion Template or Metadata View in this beta.

🐞 Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a weird bug which caused the Preparing BRAW Files to never close on Intel Mac's (but worked fine on Apple Silicon Mac's). Thanks for reporting George Elias!
  • Increased the Workflow Extension height by a tiny amount so it looks better on Intel Mac's.

# 1.0.0 (15) - Public Beta 2

🎉 Released:

  • 5th January 2023

⚠️ Important:

  • Due to major changes, this beta is not compatible with the previous beta, so you should re-create any test Final Cut Pro libraries.
  • If you have installed and used the previous beta, you will need to install the new Motion Template and Metadata View, prior to launching Final Cut Pro.

🔨 Improvements:

  • The BRAW Toolbox Motion Template has been completely redesigned to be a lot faster and easier to use. We have removed all the override controls. It now only shows the parameters that you can control (i.e. if your camera doesn't allow manipulating the ISO, we no longer show this parameter).
  • We added a Global Settings button to the Motion Template in the Final Cut Pro Inspector, so that you can force a Decode Quality across all clips. This is useful if you have clips with different Decode Quality settings, but you want to export at the highest quality.
  • We now populate the Ingest Date (aka "Date Imported" in Final Cut Pro) metadata field. Thanks for suggesting @tangierc!
  • The Workflow Extension has been redesigned. The checkboxes no longer act as "overrides", but instead allow you to select which parameters you want to copy, paste, etc.
  • The buttons at the bottom of the Workflow Extension Inspector (Copy, Paste, etc.) now all work.
  • All the parameters in the Workflow Extension should now flow into Final Cut Pro.
  • All the parameters in the Final Cut Pro Inspector should now work and update correctly. Thanks for reporting @markspen!
  • We now display an error message if you press Show Parameters with no BRAW file loaded.
  • We no longer hide the Workflow Extension player slider when playing, and now update its value during playback. Thanks for suggesting @JW144754!
  • The Viewer in the Workflow Extension is now resizable. Thanks for suggesting @JW144754!
  • The main application now only asks for permissions to your Movies folder and Application Support folder once.
  • All the individual open/save dialog boxes now remember their own last opened path.
  • The Convert PROJECT to Resolve Friendly FCPXML Toolbox now works.
  • We've added a loading screen when BRAW Toolbox is Preparing BRAW Files. Thanks for suggesting @tangierc!

💪 Changes:

  • We now write log files to /Users/YOUR-USER-NAME/Library/Group Containers/A5HDJTY9X5.com.latenitefilms.BRAWToolbox/Library/Application Support/ folder, for easier debugging.
  • BRAW Toolbox will now run on macOS Big Sur and above.

🐞 Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed various memory leaks.
  • Fixed a bug which prevented the correct Decode Quality from being used. Thanks for reporting @JW144754!
  • Fixed a bug in the ISO parameter.
  • Error messages in Final Cut Pro now show the correct icon.
  • Added some missing Metadata Definition labels.

# 1.0.0 (14) - Public Beta 1

🎉 Released:

  • 23rd December 2022

This is the first public beta of BRAW Toolbox. Woohoo!

This build is very much a work-in-progress, and doesn’t contain all our latest code (due to delays and complexity of getting things approved by Apple’s App Review). However, now that the first beta is out, we hope to be able to push out new builds much more quickly in the New Year, as we work towards a public release.

The main area we’d like to test at this point is making sure that all machines can successfully import and playback BRAW files. Currently we’ve been primarily testing on MacBook Pro’s (16-inch, 2021, M1 Max, 64GB RAM) running macOS Monterey and Final Cut Pro 10.6.5. We're particularly interested to see how things work on MacPro's with multiple GPUs.

The Workflow Extension is currently very incomplete. All of the parameters from Color Science Version onwards currently don’t come across to Final Cut Pro. The buttons at the bottom of the parameters also don’t currently do anything. The Toolbox currently doesn’t do anything.

Happy testing!
