    long time lurker first post lol help! Client footage is a screen recording, and the free Resolve vesrion gives me clips wont import at all:

    Media Import

    Media Import
Unable to decode the selected clip.

C0042.MP4  -  H.265 / HEVC, 4:2:2, 10-bit
This format is not supported for decoding on this
system. The clip will appear offline.

    i need to start editnig today. whats teh fastest reliable fix??

    i'm comfortable with simple command line tools if that's what it takes. i just need a reliable fix that won't cost me hours or quality. any reliable workflow tips are very welcome, thank u. im about to throw this thing out the window lol

    What does a media info tool show for the codec, bit depth and chroma subsampling? ?

    ahh classic the free version of Resolve on Windows has limited H.264/H.265 support for certain profiles, especially 10-bit 4:2:2 😤 Resolve on Linux doesnt support H.264/AAC in the free version at all. Check what ur version supports before assuming the files are broken. fingers crossed 🤞

    yeahhh MKV containers arent supported in Resolve... remux to MP4 without re-encoding using FFmpeg: ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c copy output.mp4. its lossless and takes seconds. worked for me anyway 🤷

    for a reliable editing workflow, transcode to an intermediate codec: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v dnxhd -profile:v dnxhr_hq -pix_fmt yuv422p -c:a pcm_s16le output.mov, larger files, but editors handle them perfectly. worked for me anyway 🤷

    transcoding everything to DNxHR eats disk space fast... for short projects, a remux or buying Studio may be more practical.
