Safety overview
Status: Safe
This is legitimate media software used to open and review Blackmagic RAW video files. Access to files you choose to open is normal for a video player, and keeping it installed is appropriate if you work with .braw footage. Removing it will mainly affect your ability to preview Blackmagic RAW clips directly outside other editing software.
Recommendation: Keep Blackmagic RAW Player if you use Blackmagic RAW footage or want a quick dedicated viewer for .braw clips. If you no longer work with that format and prefer to manage playback only through other editing tools, you can remove it without affecting unrelated apps.
