Resolve can't import H.264 and H.265

PostSat Feb 13, 2021 5:12 pm

Hello
I currently use the free version of DaVinci Resolve 16 on Windows 10 and I can't import H.264 and H.265 files if their color subsampling isn't YUV 4:2:0 (only audio is imported).
I also can't import lossless H.264 video but I can import lossless H.265 video

Is it because I'm using the free version that I can't import H.264/H.265 videos with better subsampling?
Why am I able to import lossless H.265 videos but I can't import lossless H.264 videos?

Thank you

It’s a license condition. You need the Studio version for some 264/265 codecs
