I am unable to see the full metadata from VaricamLT clips in Resolve. I can see the frame rate, resolution, the codec, etc in metadata box in Resolve. But not all the other details such as lens focal length, iso, etc. I open the clip Resolve from the Content then AVCLIP folder. I know the metadata should be in the CLIP folder. But Resolve doesn't seem to see it.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
 
What lens and lens mount are you using and what sort of metadata are you expecting?
in my experience the PL mount has always worked flawlessly giving me metadata from both Cooke I and Arri LDS
are you using a PL or EF mount???
 
First question that comes to mind, have you gone into the varicam menu and selected the lens type?
 
Just to weigh in, I've had a similar issue. In both premiere and davinci I couldn't see the full varicam metadata either. When I read the text of the metadata files, everything is there, aperture, ISO, etc.
 
Thank you guys for your help. The lenses are mostly Sigma Art EF ones. The camera can see the lens data for sure, including f stop, focal length etc. I know that because all that info is present in the xml file in the Clip folder within the Contents folder. I can see a ton of metadata in that file. Resolve however only displays a handful. Don't know how to display the rest. Interestingly enough, the P2 Viewer plus can show much more metadata for each clip, but not all the metadata in the "Clip" files. For now, I just open those files from the Clip folder in Notepad and read the metadata. Not very easy to read but possible.
