Sony FX3 is an incredible camera when it comes to image quality. Obviously we have a brand new sensor and zooming in at 100% is the most beautifully crisp images. I even showed him. I stopped in my tracks editing these photos and I was like, ‘Jim, you gotta come look at this.’ It’s a lot because I require a lot.

My attempts so far: Importing the XAVC HS file directly into DaVinci Resolve 17.

Result: It shows import failed at last. Then I changed the formats and try one more time, although, when dropping the clip onto the timeline, only the audio appears. Again, the audio and video appear on the time line, but the audio is shorter than the video and skips and jumps.
