Question

Raw Burst CR3 files not opening in lightroom

Hello!

I am learning how to manage digital files and I have transferred some unseperated raw burst files from my SD card onto my SSD (and then erased them from the sd yikes). I now have these files which I am unable to preview on File Explorer nor Lightroom nor the SD card. They are massive files from 100-500mb each which I suspect might partially be why they wont open. I have tried downloading Canon's Digital Photo Proffessional app and using the raw burst tool but it doesnt allow me to - the website give conflicting information (below image). Upon research, I have rest Lightroom's presets, disabled GPU? nothing has changed so idk. I have almost accepted defeat but PLEASE bounce any ideas around, I would really appreciate it 🙂

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post a request.  If not, maybe someone who knows better can do this for our group. It would be great if Adobe and, specifically, Lightroom Classic (LrC) could support viewing / editing (and even extracting) individual RAW CR3 images from the CR3 "burst" files created during per-continous / pre-capture shooting.

There's already a couple duplicate threads in the Ideas section, so let's all dogpile on one

As the screen capture you posted already clearly states: You can not open Canon Camera RAW burst files directly in LR.

You need to separate single files of it into single RAW files and import these.

If you are having issues getting a hold of the Canon Software, you might be better off asking with Canon or a Canon community.

The problem is that I am unable to seperate the original raw roll into single raw files. Ive tried exporting them in many different apps to select one frame but nothing is working
