How to Solve XAVC S DaVinci Resolve Importing Issue?

From the forum of Blackmagic, we can see that many users encountered the XAVC S DaVinci Resolve importing issues. So can DaVinci Resolve support Sony XAVC S files natively?

Actually, Blackmagic claims that the latest release updates of DaVinci Resolve 18 support XAVC S. However, that doesn't mean you can edit XAVC S files in DaVinci Resolve without issue. You may fail to import XAVC S files due to the improper frame rates. Moreover, the XAVC S editing is not supported in the free version of DaVinci Resolve. Therefore, if you want to edit XAVC S videos in DaVinci Resolve, transcoding XAVC S to other formats is an easy and cost-effective way.

To convert XAVC S files effortlessly, you need a handy video converter that supports 4K video conversion, as the XAVC S files are usually shot in 4K. And WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro is such a video converter that can definitely meet your desires. Its simple interface and intuitive workflow allow users at all levels to easily get started. It enables you to convert XAVC S to MP4, MOV, and other DaVinci Resolve-supported formats for smooth editing. More than converting XAVC S video files, it can also help you solve other DaVinci Resolve unsupported file issues without effort.
