Questions
Hi, I was given footage in MXF files and I am trying to work with them in DaVinci Resolve - and I have never worked with MXF files before. When I import them into DaVinci Resolve the video really lags behind the audio and is super glitchy. I have a 2021 iMac with 32GB RAM, is it something to do with my devvice? I will only be using them on social media so trying to figure out the best way to edit if it won't stop lagging, if exported to a MOV can we still color correct the footage after I edit what I like? and first would there be a way to export these files into a MOV format? HELP!
"I have an issue with ALEXA Mini LF footage in DaVnci Resolve. Worked perfectly with Windows 10, not working anymore with Windows 11. DaVnci Resolve reports an import error, then you can play the clip but no sound. Does anyone have the same issue? How do you solve it? Please kindly suggest a solution if you know. Thanks in advance.”
