Depending on the camera software that shot the BRAW files, you may need to upgrade to 15.3.1 as many of those point upgrades were for BRAW developments specific to cameras like the Ursa Mini Pro G2 and the PCC4k

James Resolve 15 is so last year.

The easiest way to have a third full screen display is via a Decklink card. That way you can get a correct signal to a monitor for grading, either via SDI or HDMI, depending on the features of the Decklink card.
Blackmagic make these cards and they are the only ones that work properly with Resolve. It’s one way they can make some money out of free or otherwise cheap software.

Given you can customize your keyboard commands and menus might have changed over the two years since David’s reply, you can search for any command in Keyboard Customization. You’ll find that in the top left ‘Davinci Resolve’ Tab drop down menu. The manual is under the ‘Help’ tab

I’m sure the RED patent is behind the dropping of cDNG in BM cameras. Maybe with BRAW they have either worked around the patent or are paying RED a license

[Ronny Courtens]”I honestly don’t see anyone right now who feel that their boat is taking water or that their business is at risk just because of the software they are using.”
You are quite right. I felt exactly that way the day before FCP Legend was EOL’d. I’m simply saying that it can happen again. Meanwhile as Oliver has said why not have Resolve as well as your favourite. That way the change over process is gradual. It’s what I’m seeing happening in my market place which is not big facilities with their inertia.

Excellent summation Oliver. Thanks for that so those of us that are too far away to consider attending can read the tea leaves from afar.

[Ronny Courtens]”This is not a one-solution-fits-all market anymore. Today, people tend to use multiple tools at the same time or multiple NLEs within the same company. And this seems to work out well for everyone.”
It never has been a one solutions market. There never has been a real all in one tool before so there is good reason why most facilities and power users need more than one software approach. In the past all NLEs have had serious weak spots in audio finishing, VFX, grading & collaboration etc. Resolve is the first fully integrated software to combine world class tools for all those things in a single package. We all know the edit functions and general performance were playing catchup. And this seems to be being addressed to the point where it is now harder to say Resolve is inferior or just different.
It’s not finished because the task is massive but the pace of development is amazing. I’m not sure why you might assume development at Blackmagic will slow down soon and updates get less in the future. I think it won’t for the simple reason that their dev team is not going to be transferred to other products like Apple does and unlike Adobe they have a hardware division that needs software tools like Resolve to be up to date with their products.
I’ve said it before that Resolve has not had the advantage that Adobe had with the EOL of FCP Legend. But another stumble by Apple or Adobe and the foot will be in the door for Blackmagic. History has shown that when Avid and then Apple stumbled an alternative had an advantage, even when it was not fully developed. Resolve is so much better prepared than either FCP Legend or Adobe to take advantage of such stumbles. The increasingly slow pace of FCPX & Apple hardware dev looks like an opportunity to me. Adobe’s needing to update their performance looks like a smaller stumble but both may create the perfect opportunity for Blackmagic to overcome the inertia of editors to jump ship. And jumping ship make perfect sense when your boat is taking on water and may sink your business.

Resolve should just handle the sample rate change. The project default is 48khz but it can play a standard sample rate like 44.1khz and do a conversion on the fly.
However with the scant info you have provided I can only guess that the real problem is in fact the frame rate of the video the audio is attached to. To help you further can you supply the details on the video or audio clip, codec, frame rates of the clip and frame rates and sample rates of the project. The version of Resolve might also be important in case it is an old version before Fairlight was introduced with it’s excellent sample rate conversion

Best audio is the industry standard 24 bit 48khz wav or broadcast wav. Recorders and software systems that can record timecode, create broadcast wavs.
