BRAW files not importing to Resolve 17

PostWed Mar 10, 2021 3:55 pm

Hi there,

I am trying to import 3 .braw files into DaVinci 17 and every time I try it doesn't load.
Either it does nothing except change the text color of "master" to red or it will say the clip is offline with no way of accessing the file.

You are possibly seeing the error with iso handling. Try this: set the iso in raw tab to some reasonable value and export sidecar file. Then restart Resolve and see if your clip comes online.

That shouldn't happen in 17. It was only an issue for 16.2 versions, with the 16.3 update correcting the problem.

Not one he'll like.

Corrupt files.

If it's an old XEON and 12K .braw, you'll need 17.1. Just guessing.
My disaster protection: export a .drp file to a physically separated storage regularly.

What type of a system are you on? What OS are you using?

Is it just these 3 files not working? Do other BRAW files work?

Do the files open in the BRAW Player app?

@dwayne

I'm on Windows 10
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz, 2801 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)


None of the 3 Braw Files load in the Braw player either. I took the pocket cinema 6K camera out of the box, updated it, and shot the footage.

Any chance you could share one of the clips? We could try if it opens.

Do you only have the 3 BRAW clips to try? If so, try downloading one of our sample 6K clips from here:

Does that work?

As Hendrik suggested, it would be helpful if you could put one of your files on a file sharing site, and provide a link to the file here, so we can see what it does for us.
