Yes. But the proxies are made in the camera with the same profile as the RAW. So, the metadata of the RAW and proxy clips should contain that profile. The question is what settings in Resolve have to be chosen so they match in the editor. Getting a solution to the problem is why I posted, after showing what the issue is.
Meanwhile, when one makes "optimized" media within Resolve from the RAW clips, editing with those "proxy" clips results in exactly the same looks for the RAW and the proxies. So, that works very well.
The problem is that creating proxy media from 12bit RAW clips within Resolve takes a very, very long time. It is not practical, and having proxies from the camera ready to go must be the solution if only someone understood how to make them match.
And, no, directly editing the 12bit RAW files without proxies or "optimized" media is impossible.
