The newest version of Resolve supports Nikon Z9 raw files. This is a brand new kind of raw, most probably developed by a company called intoPIX. The details are not completely clear on that. Make sure to read our article about this new raw of the Nikon Z9: Will the Nikon Z9 Present a Revolutionary 8K RAW Video Format? That’s supposed to be a whole new raw format, as we assumed that the Nikon Z9 will be capable of shooting BRAW as well, and moreover ProRes RAW (internally! – as promised by Nikon). That’s a lot of RAW! Anyway, here’re the release notes below:
