Question

Drag & drop a folder containing DPX files as a single clip

Here is another improvement that developers need to do:

It will be good and much faster to have the possibility to drag & drop a folder that contain sequential DPX files in Premiere Pro and that Premiere Pro convert all those individual DPX as a single clip.  Much easier to import, manipulate and insert in timeline.

For the moment, the best way to have a single clip contain all DPX files is to import, find the folder containing DPX, open it, tag the first DPX file and activate Image Sequence.  A very long task for nothing...  A simple drag & drop of the folder containing DPX will be a very good, fast and reliable way to import a lot of DPX.

Resolve do this for a long time and Avid do this too by linking to the folder containing DPX files.

Thanks !

    I can't even import my DPX files - I get the error message: "The video bit depth of this file is unsupported"

    They are DPX files created from my C500 - 2K 12bit frames saved as 16bit DPX files, but Premiere will not open them and cannot create proxies.

    Try creating 12 bit DPX files.

    I created 8bit and 10bit and 12bit DPX files and Premiere Pro gives the same error message.

    Resolve plays all DPX and raw files back flawlessly.

    Bummer!
