Sony A7 SIII - XAVC S-I - Only got audio in DR 17

PostFri Dec 11, 2020 3:19 pm

Hey Guys

i'm using Davinci 17 in the free version and i try to import those format :
XAVC - 4K 25FPS - 4 2 2 10 Bit
XAVC - 4K 25FPS - 4 2 2 10bit

but it doesn't work in this version, i only got the audio and not the video.

Other format works like the XAVC HS with 4 2 0 10bit or XAVC S but with 8bit codec.

So, to make it easy, is it only because i don't have the studio version ?

Working on MPB 16 - radeon pro 5300 - i7

thank you.

I would expect that to work in the Studio version. I can test if you care to share a clip.

Yes, it's because you are using the free version, on Windows. It will work in the Studio version.

He's on a Mac, though, Dwaine.

Don't bother me with the details! :)

OK, I would expect it to work on the Mac, with the caveats that Mathieu has brought up:

So I guess if we could get a link to a sample file that's not working, that would be good.

Just because you have a dongle, doesn't mean that you have the Studio version of Resolve installed. It's a separate version. Using a dongle with the free version does not make it Studio.

When you launch Resolve, does it say Studio on the splash screen? If not, you've got the free version installed. Download and install the Studio version.
