I went on a couple vacations and want to edit some footage I took in DaVinci Resolve 19. My camera is Canon EOS C400. When I try importing, DaVinci Resolve says it's an unknown format or incompatible. The files are .mp4. Should I convert C400 videos to DaVinci Resolve supported format first?
The C400 has you covered with up to 6K60 Cinema RAW and HQ, ST, and LT Cinema RAW Light 12-bit modes. We can record XF-AVC, XF-AVC S, XF-HEVC S videos with Canon EOS C400, XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S, both featuring an easier naming system and folder structure and metadata preservation, all within the established MP4 format. As for XF-AVC, it is a file format developed by Canon specifically for 4K DCI or 4K UHD footage. The file name extension is .MXF.
The latest versions of DaVinci Resolve like 19 and 18 have added support for MXF and MP4 files. However, in actual practices, there are still many problems annoy users who intend to import Canon Eos C400 recordings to DaVinci Resolve for editing. As different video files adopt different codec parameters, it may result in your EOS C400 footage can’t work properly in the DaVinci Resolve program.
