For some reason, I am not able to import Panasonic RAW images (RW2) into Resolve.

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks,

You cant. Get the free Adobe DNG converter. Convert your RW2 files using that to .dng. Then you can open those in Resolve. This is how I process a timelapse series of raw files from my GH4.

So I've used the DNG converter, but now I'm looking at the image and thinking "there ought to be a LUT for this". Strangely, the Leeming LUT (which works on VLOG-L) doesn't quite look right. But the RED Low Contrast LUT (from Log3G10) looks about right. That's weird, no? What's the right LUT to use as a neutral baseline?

Following up on my own post, I note that when RW2 is converted to DNG, the question of RW2 gamma curves becomes moot because the DNG file now has its own tone mapping/color space.

WHAT IS THAT TONE MAPPING AND COLOR SPACE?!

I tried to be clever, using a special option in Adobe's DNG converter to generate a Linear DNG file. That worked, but Resolve 15b6 won't read that file. It says Media Offline. Photoshop (and other apps) will read that file (which looks very funky in Preview, but "normal" in Photoshop). What's the best way to get a known standard color space/gamma curve from a converted RW2 file that's been transcoded to DNG that Resolve can read?
