Importing AVI Files in to Davinci Resolve?

In fact, there is hardly anything DaVinci Resolve doesn't support. However, it doesn't mean that you can import every piece of video into this world famous color corrector and amazing editor. When it comes to importing AVI files to DaVinci Resolve, you may find that this editing program fails to recognize or sometimes may crash, which is really a great pain. If you're having trouble editing AVI files in DaVinci Resolve 12, 11, 10, etc., read on for details.



Part 1. Problems for Importing AVI Davinci Resolve

Q 1: Hello I recently installed Resolve 12 and I have some AVI files i need to import. opening the drives in the media browser i can see the folder but not the files in it. are there any plugins i can use to add codecs to resolve?

Q 2: Hello, I'm trying to add gameplay that was encoded into a .avi format and I was wondering why it can't be seen by it? Is it because of the file size (8 gbs)? Also, how do I add audio files into it? Trying to add .mp3 files

Part 2. Reason for AVI files won't work in DaVinci Resolve

It's actually a very simple reason: AVI is a container format which can contain uncompressed video and audio codecs. It's obsolete and unsupported by most programs developed in the past five to ten years. In the professional realm (which Resolve sits in) it has been largely supplanted by MOV, and in some cases MXF files. For example, if your AVI file contains H.264, you will encounter problems when editing your videos in Davinci Resovle.
