"I'm having trouble importing some 4K footage into Resolve. I need to proxy out the footage in order to round trip the edit. Can't do that if I have 100 videos for each take. The DNG files are also looking like they are corrupted in preview finder window, but if I open them in photoshop they seem fine. Anyone encounter any of this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated!"I believe a lot of Panasonic DMC-GH4R users have met the same problem above. Before giving the solution, let’s find out the reason to the problem. The reason why the 4K footage files are looking like being corrupted in preview window is that common personal computer doesn’t have the ability to process the 4K video editing work, even if you can import 4K footage into Davinci Resolve on MacBook Pro. The quality of 4K videos is ultra high definition, so it requires very powerful computer hardware. The method to edit Panasonic DMC-GH4R 4K videos in DaVinci Resolve smoothly is installing an video converter to compress 4K files to 2K files.
Now, I’ll introduce a top-rated video converter for Panasonic DMC-GH4R - Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac. This program is not a professional video transcoder can help you convert 4K videos to 2K, but also an video editor can do lots of editing work. With these features, complicated 4K editing work in DaVinci Resolve will be easier and more efficient. If you are a Windows user, please turn to HD Video Converter.
