#Lightworks pro 12.5 review software

Mastering Works 6 uses (licensed) x264 encoding, by the way.ДЄs for your dilemma with your Panasonic GM5 AVCHD (as assumed) files though Adrian whilst searching the forum on the subject of H264 support, I came across this statement made by Rohit Gupta from Resolve Software development: Yet Resolve 12.5.5 (on my system) will not import any of the 10-bit 4:2:2 or High 4:4:4 Predictive export formats.

Incidentally, I've just been running a trial of Pegasys Mastering Works 6 and it imports those UHD 10-bit 4:2:2 GH5 clips perfectly well. So what gives ?ДЄgain, I would really appreciate if someone from the BM team could explain what makes these GH5 files so funky that they are only supported in the Studio version of Resolve, if that is indeed the case. Yet I can import several sample 10-bit UHD 25p XAVC.mxf files (ca.230Mbps, High 4:2:2 PCM) encoded with Adobe Media Encoder that I have to hand. It's the 10-bit 4:2:2 GH5 files that are the issue.

On the other hand, I can (thankfully) import 1080/30p (AVC and 1080/60p (AVC mp4 clips from my Canon HF-G30 without any issues, as also the UHD 60p.mp4 8-bit 4:2:0, PCM) clips in that set of GH5 sample clips from Neumannfilms. Whereas some archived 1080/30PF.mts (AVC 8-bit 4:2:0, AC3) clips from my old Canon HF-G10 are not imported at all - although I recall that when I first tested an early beta version of Resolve 12.5, the video stream was imported from these files. On my system (Win7 ењ†4) Resolve 12.5.5 does import the video component (AVC 8-bit 4:2:0) of these files, but not the AC3 audio, which is not supported due to Dolby licensing issues.that I do know, at least. The GM5 records AVCHD and I've just tested some native 1080/50p.mts clips that I sourced from a CameraLabs (Gordon Laing's) review:ДЄlways a good place to look for native video samples. Try transcoding it to Cineform, dnxhr, etc in another program.

I bet the H264 footage is some funky flavor and Resolve probably doesn't support the mpeg2 stuff. GM5 10 bit files are only supported in Resolve Studio 12.5.5 Searching around the web shows this to be a longstanding issue with Resolve on both Macs and PCs, so I find it baffling that the issue persists. Resolve can see the drive and the folders the media is in, but shows the folders as empty. I've tried some test footage now from 3 different sources, a GoPro-type SJ4000 running h264&32k audio, a Panasonic GM5 running h264&48k audio, and some old SD MPEG-2/48k footage. Is there intent to extend this to the free version in due course, and if not, why? At least people seriously considering the GH5 would know where they stand.ДЄdrian Sancho wrote:Thanks for your replies. My point is, why else would native support for these 10-bit 422 GH5 files be limited to the Studio version only? Perhaps the BM staff could clarify this point. I don't think Magix Vegas Pro 14 supports these files (yet) does it ? I mentioned KDenLive there, but whilst it can import and export 10-bit formats, it processes in 8-bit only. True, but if you can't import the files, you can't transcode them with the internal transcode function either and so have to resort to alternative methods - ffmpeg being one, but not everyone wants to get into that - although I expect we will see yet another wave of ffmpeg front-end video converters, or the same ones, this time promoting conversion of GH5 10-bit 4K footage into a format that Resolve will import likely ProRes since DNxHR HQX and 444 encoding are not yet implemented in ffmpeg - at least not Zeranoe's Windows builds.ДЄnd not everyone has other NLE's able to import these files that could be used to generate the transcodes, at least not without breaking the 10-bit chain.

It's nothing to boast of, but GH5 footage is not the only h.264 source material which the system can't read.

And whatever the source, you'll still need to transcode h.264 material if you intend to do any real editing in Resolve. Resolve has never been marketed as an 'edit anything' NLE. John Paines wrote:Don't think that's quite fair.
