Import 4K H.265 form Canon EOS C70 to DaVinci Resolve 17

“I know that DaVinci Resolve 17 is h.265 compatible, but apparently not with Canon EOS C70 version. It won’t import. Any work arounds?”

“I decided to give a trial a shot of DaVinci Resolve 17, I have never used it before (coming from Premiere Pro). But it won’t import any of my h265 files that were recorded from my 4K H.265 footage. These are the raw files from the Canon EOS C70 , have not been transcoded or touched. When I try to import them it says “unsuported format or damaged file”. I can import h264 recorded footage from the same camera without issue. Any ideas?”

More and more cameras shoot videos at 4K, for example, we can record 4096 x 2160p at 119.88/120 fps with Canon EOS C70. The file size is very big. The bitrate of such ultra-high definition 4K video is also larger than that of 480P/720P/1080P recordings. H.265 is much more efficient than H.264 when it comes to compressing videos for saving space and reducing the pressure of bandwidth while data transferring. Thus, most of the 4K videos are compressed in H.265 codec.

Even those users who work with DaVinci Resolve 17 are reporting various problems, such as getting codec unavailable while importing EOS C70 videos and choppy or lagging 4K video playback after importing. To edit EOS C70 4K H.265 videos in DaVinci Resolve 17 without encountering those issues, we need to transcode Canon EOS C70 videos to avoid codec incompatibility issue and compress 4K or create proxy for smooth and fast editing.
