Another tip that might help you guys: Sometimes you can't import the video because the filename has a special character in it, like emojis or any other weird ones. Try renaming it to something more simple and it may work.

You just saved me thank you so much! Ah i could not figure out why just thank you again

This instantly helped me. There is a special genre of tutorial video on KZbin that solves your problem in 2 minutes when so many people would make a 10 minute video. Thanks a million!

This method works! Was really frustrated since morning. Also, if you end up getting a video without audio (like me), you change the setting to the desired audio format using the setting icon near the format selection drop down.

Thank you! love love. Everything works! Istg every piece of software needs to be unnecessarily complicated and it feels like you're always the only one with these kinds of problems and there is never anything you can do. Meanwhile you get insulted in forums when you ask there for help.

Thank you MG. When I got Davinci the other day, in starting to learn it, I was astonished that it wouldn't recognize mp3 and .avi. Wow! I have a converter already so I did what had to be done, but jeez!

I have hour long videos and I couldn't import them. Thanks to you I can finally do my work because I couldn't find a good quality converter and you showed me that VLC has this feature, which I didn't know of before.

[@MolinGuides]

Great to hear!

[@fuzzypanda1684]

Hmm, I keep getting a message that says "The output file already exists. If recording continues, the file will be overridden and its content will be lost." I've tried saving it to a different folder, confirming the overwrite, but nothing works. However, I tried converting the file format through a conversion site and it worked perfectly! If I hadn't watched this I never would have tried that, so thank you! Your exact method didn't work, but you gave me the knowledge to find another way.

[@levijonathansix]

I have the same thing.

I got Davinci resolve 18 but it looks completely different than the program you have, i cannot change any settings at all....

Is there a fix to TikTok videos getting muted when you try to edit them on Davinci ?

Also, i’ve uninstalled vlx player and it still shows on every old or new file i try to bring from my usb.

[@soultakerspirit3121]

I actually did that but when I import the new file I don't get sound. My video does have sound though cause I tested it in VLC Player after I converted. If you know the reason could you please help me>

[@BrenBrenlollol]

at the 1:00 mark in the video click the tool icon and go to audio codec and check the "keep original audio track" that's what worked for me

[@sigxotv]

file wont convert, it just puts the file on my location of choice and its empty. nothing happens after hitting start in VLC

[@tinaw.6178]

Can you please do one for why I can't get videos from my iphone 11 into davinci resolve? I could google it but I'd rather learn from you. You make it easy to learn

Unfortunately, Im not having any iOS devices to make a video like that, although I would've made it.

now i can import it and it shows the thumbnail for a second in davinci and after that instead of the thumbnail the file turns red media offline....hmm any ideas?

[@AMR421RA]

If you're just lookig to import the audio from a video the solution that worked for me was converting the video as an mp3 (using VLC), and I was able to import it into Davinci Reslove.

[@AMR421RA]

update. It doesn't work. However I converted the video file to a different format (not sure which one) then to mp3 and it worked. omg this was such a pain in the ass to deal with. I hope someone finds a better way.

[@CarlMarkus]

it worked but now there's no audio unless I use VLC media player! HELP

[@landonchan7155]

I can import it to davinci however I cannot hear any audio from it.

[@definitely_not_cameron]

this worked :)

[@MolinGuides]

great!

[@smd_ai]

The video file will be converted and indeed imported, but no sound! Neither when playing, nor in DaVinci.

[@Clouder77]

so this worked for me but not 100%. I was able to import the video clip but now only the video and no audio carry over. How do I get the audio with it?

[@biztrion_playz7046]

BTW, just confirming, does your application crash when you import mp4 as well (before changing codec)

[@Clouder77]

@@biztrion_playz7046 yes

Another tip that might help you guys: Sometimes you can't import the video because the filename OR PATH e.g., previous folder or subfolder, where imported media is saved, has a *special character in it, like emojis or any other weird ones*. Try renaming it to something more simple and it may work.

I cannot get files to read in the library. I’ve tried converting and it does nothing. Vlc player has not helped me. This is going on two days i cannot find any help. I’d appreciate help from anyone willing to help me. I was ready to learn davinchi, i’ve not been able to load a file. I’m almost done with this idea, i’ve lost most of the interest i’ve had, hopefully someone helps me before i totally give up on DR. Cheers

This decreases the size of the file drastically. Does this not reduce the quality of the video?

it definitely reduces the quality of the information in the file
