clip number not equal files number

I haven't used Resolve much - ok, pretty much not at all, other than open files in it and click stuff to play - but have a weird thing: trying to bring in 477 files (clips?) from a RED, and Resolve only see 134? I am even less familiar with RED files, but assumed it would be 1 to 1. Maybe the connect in an NLE? These are 8k files. The Alexa Mini files have similar situation: 104 out of 112 come in from the directory.

Any thoughts on this? Tried it a few different times and is recreateable.

Resolve very latest free version 15.0.1.003, Windows 10 w/ latest updates, 32GB i7, 1070 GFX card

perhaps a file AMOUNT limit in the free version?

There are a lot of possibilities (but it is NOT a limitation of the free version). Many cameras will have indexing and metadata files that are not clips, so Resolve won't add them to the media pool. Also, Raw footage is captured as in image sequence, so you might have thousands of files on the media card that are accurately read and interpreted as only a couple of clips. Without more information about the files, there isn't a whole lot that we can do to help you.

Thanks for the input, Spencer. You are probably right. The Alexa stuff is RAW, and I don't know WHAT the RED stuff is - probably raw... I don't own the cameras or know anything about them. Just hoping I don't have to review every file one by one to determine what is going on. I wonder if I moved those indexing files? I stripped it down to just R3D files all in one directory so I could see what I have verses hundreds of sub directories with one file each in them.

I'm open to any more advice or input. Maybe I should grab one series of clips and bring in and see if it is seen as ONE clip in Resolve?
