How To Fix DaVinci Resolve NOT Importing Image Sequences - Version 17 & 18

In DaVinci Resolve 17 (plus 18 Beta), I've found an annoying bug which means I was unable to import image sequences. Here's how to change the settings so this doesn't happen.

You are a hero, I was trying to import a movie sequence (more than 60.000 tiff files) and Davinci was not responding. This fixed!!!

I love when this type of creators make straight to the point videos to problem-solving situations. Because clearly I don't want to spend 10 minutes solving it instead of actually working haha. (Obviously when it's possible, I know some issues need time to be solved)

I don't usually post thank-you comments, but this video deserves it. Thanks so much for this tip, it's a genuine life saver!

Quick and straight to the point. You are amazing. Thank you!

Thanks! I just did an install and followed another video where it was automatically converted for him but not me. Your video actually had the answer. I guess the other guy already had this setting on and it was working for him, but a brand new install has it turned off by default. Thanks again for the help!

Thank you very much for this video. It had me scratching my head at first as to how to get an image sequence into DaVinci Resolve. Doesn't work straight out of the box like other software. Great video, straight to the point, and fixed the problem. Thank you once again.

This didn't work for me. Here's what worked : on the Media page, go to your HD icon at top left, navigate to the folder that contains your individual files – double-click to open this folder and … Bam … the files appear as a sequence, just like that ! Then drag this clip down into the Media Pool, switch to the Edit page and you're good to go.
