This is what pops up when I START the program. When I click Continue on the error box nothing happens. If I attempt to START the program again after clicking continue, the Errorbox pops up again...
The footage in one folder, in form of DNGs... Am I doing something wrong?

For the sake of those who might stumble upon this thread in search of cure for the broken up footage due to dropped frames:

Keith very kindly adjusted his program and it worked miraculously. It took literally 2 TWO SECONDS to process around 40 minutes of RAW footage, after which my RAW DNGs open in Resolve as one healthy sequence (which was initially broken up into many many clips due to dropped frames), fully in sync with audio!!!

Keith is a straight up genius and not only because of his awesome avatar.

Putting this little baby in my 'important software' archive, hopefully I never have to use it, but knowing it's there... yeah, feels good man.

Thanks Keith!

Bro hug.

Hi,

I'm getting a error like" File ..._00007.dng allready exists". Any ideas?

//edit: figured out that Jethro doesn't like exFat formatted drives too much

works fine when I moved files to NTFS drive...

humm, I never tested it like that. I assume people would always move the files to a system drive first. Maybe dot net has an issue with ex-fat.
anyway, I would always work off of a copy of the files, not the source footage directly on the cards.

thanks
