Cinema DNGs from DJI X7 and X5s

[vertrider]

Dear CB Team,

enjoying Photomechanic on all my Mac's with a variety of Cameras since a couple Seasons, and am on the latest PM.

However, PM can't read CinemaDNG Files and/or folders of DJI's X5s or X7 drone cameras.

Adobe Bridge for example can do that, see Screenshots, why is it that CB can't do it?

It would be handy if PM could do that as well, CinemaDNG is still the gold standard for best quality RAW, and it is one of the greatest features of this Codec that one can anytime pick out a perfect still frame out of the footage and work that single image in Photoshop, Lightroom etc, great for clients.

The usual lightning speed of PM would be great for going trough CinemaDNG folders.

I can supply sample images if needed (same goes BTW for CinemaDNG files of the earlier Version of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K).

Cheers

It is highly likely that the DNGs don't have previews in them.  No preview, no display.  You can use the Adobe DNG Converter to put previews into those DNGs and then Photo Mechanic will show them as expected.
