Try deleting the *.sfk and *.sfvp0 files besides these problematic .braw and let VP19 rebuild the waveform preview / video proxy.

are they appear now?

Based on BRAW samples I downloaded from Blackmagic site, they are working ok.

ok, need sample to test. possible to share one of problematic BRAW?

I just tested it well and I'm sure when you import many blackmagic raw files then some of them show black, cuz I inserted one of the files that showed black separately and they work fine, so I'm sure when you insert more than 10 files or many blackmagic raw files then some of them shoes black screen

Ok - thanks for the input... since I don't have the BRAW camera - I can't test this well - meaning making one whole project recorded using BRAW and edit them.

@prince-pep Just tried a test with 10 6k braw clips from the bm site and no black screens here. Those clips are all 6144x3456 24p. Yours look like they're 2048x1152 60p. If you make one of your clips available for download, I'd be happy to dup it 9 more times and see if I get the same results as you.

its a music video am trying to edit in vegas pro 19 so the braw files are more than even 20

It seems like something is not configured right on your system. I suggest going through the process of submitting a support ticket, with your serial number included to expediate things. Once the support team has the ticket, we should be able to better diagnose why some of the files are failing to load properly.

Here are the clips I tested with from the bmd site:

https://downloads.blackmagicdesign.com/videos/products/blackmagicpocketcinemacamera/workflow/raw/rock-band/ef1bcb77-3/BMPCC6K-Rock-Band-BRAW.zip

If you cannot make your clip available, suggest you try the above ones and dup them to bring the count to 10+... if you see the same black screen issue that would suggest the problem is with your clips or setup. I seem to recall seeing a black screen issue with some different Indie Film clips that were shot vbr but the first build update to vp19 fixed that for me. The Indie Film clips were also on the bmd site somewhere.

You might also want to get mediainfo and inspect your clip metadata to see if any are vbr... you might need to rename the clip file-type to mov to display the metadata with mediainfo.

no need to rename, but you can do this way too:

You can copy and paste that text instead of screenshots to make it easier to read.

Odd that I don't see a 5776 x 3040 braw frame size mentioned in online specs for that camera... but maybe specs do not reflect newer formats provided by updates. Firmware looks like it's fairly recent but the latest update shouldn't hurt. Curious what the Vegas project frame size is set to and if fiddling with it might change anything. The bm specs indicate a frame size to 5744 x 3024 (5.7K 17:9) which seems to be the same aspect ratio listed in the metadata.

@prince-pep Have you done what VEGASDerek suggested on 1 October? The post is only a few back but what he said was:

The more input and personalized feedback you can cooperate with developers, more chance this can be solved.

So I recommend you follow what @gary-rebholz has suggested: Contact support team along with your registration information.
