In this tutorial, we will introduce the best method in case DaVinci Resolve won't import ARRI ALEXA 35 MXF format. You'll be able to edit your MXF footage smoothly in DaVinci Resolve.
"PLEASE HELP! I have some ARRI ALEXA 35 4K videos I'd like to use in DaVinci Resolve. Seems that it's still unsupported? Am I missing something or is this still unsupported? Wondering if anyone can help."
The new Alexa 35 Extreme takes all of the excellent features from the original 35 but pushes it even further thanks to a massive hardware upgrade. The ARRI ALEXA 35 is a masterclass in focused innovation. It doesn't chase the highest resolution for its own sake but instead relentlessly pursues the most beautiful and flexible image possible. For filmmakers who have fully embraced the large-format "look" and wider field of view of the Mini LF or similar cameras, returning to a Super 35 sensor might feel like a step back, even if the image quality surpasses it in other areas. It's a creative choice. In-camera down-sampling and anamorphic de-squeezing enable the ALEXA 35 to offer a robust array of 19 ARRIRAW and Apple ProRes recording formats with different resolutions
