I have spent the past week trying to figure this out to no avail.
I'm working on a project and most of the footage was shot on blackmagic cinema (6K) cameras. Most of the .braw footage imports into DaVinci Resolve with no issues, but there are a few critical clips that will not import. There's no error message - nothing to indicate what the problem is.
I've done the latest update of the free version of DaVinci (17.1.1 build ), I can view the footage in the blackmagic player. I called tech support yesterday and they took me through some troubleshooting - no error messages when I play the footage, no artifacts, no issues whatsoever with the footage itself.
They got me to send a link to one of the clips to see if they could figure out the issue. Apparently at their end, the file extension showed up as .BRA, so I went to change the extension in my files, but at my end, the file extension was as it should be (.braw). I went through the motions of "changing" the extension, and of course, that did nothing.
I was told to just post here to see if someone could help. This is absolutely critical footage for my project and I need to solve this asap as I have an impending deadline. I'm really hoping someone can help me figure out what the hell is going on.
Thanks,
