Sound Library not displaying any AIF?

PostSun Jun 10, 2018 7:40 pm

I large portion of my Sound Library are .aif files but none of them are showing up when my library is added to the Sound Library feature.

I know the files work because I can drag them in manually and they show up and play back fine.

Same here. DaVinci Resolve 15 b4 is still not aif friendly

Are you sure ? Didn't took time to focus on it, I just imported a folder full of sounds gathered for years (in which there surely were lots of AIFF).
Now that I've read you, I'll check soon...

Can you please post a link or PM me a link to a file which doesn’t work? AIFF is definitely supported. It’s one of the first formats we supported in Resolve, even before Wave.

It isn't that AIF isn't supported in the program.

It's that no AIFs show up in the Sound Library.

16bit AIF(F) files are accessible within Beta 8 and the Sound Library.

Resolve doesn't currently appear to support 24bit AIF(F) files.

Thank you for the confirmation Jean Claude.

Digging further, it seems 24bit AIFF-C files are the issue.
Uncompressed audio data in the AIFF-C container is not supported.

You're right, it's AIFF-C that isn't showing up.

Unfortunately a lot of my Sound Library is AIFF-C.
