Yet it has imported into DaVinci Resolve and I am able to use it. I am just confused at why I get this warning every time that the file format is not supported? - Anderson, Dan"
"I edit on a Mac in DaVinci Resolve 18, and have recently been working with Panasonic HC-X20 footage. The problem is, when I open my project in my other computer, DaVinci Resolve asks me to relink the footage, and asks for the specific clips. But in the Finder, I cannot see the individual clips... only the "Private" folder that the HC-X20 generates. - Preglej, Dalibor"
