What is the .braw file?
BRAW file is a Blackmagic RAW Data. Blackmagic RAW is a new video codec that combines the quality and benefits of RAW with the ease of use. If you want to open a .braw file on your computer, you just need to have the appropriate program installed. If the .braw association isn't set correctly, you may receive error message. So far only Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve can open .braw fils. So you can't import BRAW files into Final Cut Pro X, Premiere Pro CC, Vegas Pro 18, Avid Media Composer directly. In addition, we can't watch the captured BRAW video with a regular video player.
How to convert BRAW to native supported codec for Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Vegas Pro, Media Composer, etc?
Because BRAW video format is very special, and it is a new video format, the video converter on the market can not import this format, let alone convert it into other video formats or codecs. We found out through Google that we need to convert .braw into the code we want in two steps. Convert BRAW to H.264 MP4 with DaVinci Resolve, then convert the converted videos to other video codecs via third-party software. Now I'll share all the details with you.
Convert BRAW to MP4 with DaVinci Resolve
1. Download and install the latest DaVinci Resolve at https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve. It is available on macOS, Windows, and Linux. (Here, I’m using DaVinci Resolve 17)
Note: The “Studio” version is paid software. Download the free program, which is by the plain name of “DaVinci Resolve”. Both versions come with a Blackmagic RAW Player on which you can play the BRAW files natively.
2. Run DaVinci Resolve. Over the top-left menu, click “File” > “Import” > “Media¡” (or press “Ctrl + I“) to import the BRAW file into the media pool.
3. At the bottom of the screen, click on the far right “Deliver” tab that looks like a rocket ship.
4. The “Render Settings” section will show up on the upper-left of the workspace. You can follow the provided options (Filename, Location, Format, Codec, Encoder, Resolution, Frame rate, Quality, etc.) to render BRAW as MP4, lower the resolution, change quality, any way you like. When you are ready, click “Add to Render Queue” at the bottom right.
5. Now, your file will be available over the upper-right “Render Queue” section. Click “Render All” below to export the BRAW file as H.264 MP4.

By trying handbreak, you will find that this software is not suitable for novice users, and there are only 3 (MP4, MKV, WebM) output formats, which can not meet the needs of many users.If you want to edit high quality material in professional video editing software, I suggest you give up this software.
