Calling any video experts.....

I've got a lumix S5ii full frame hybrid camera that I use solely for photography. It is a bit of a video beast and it's way above my skill set to understand what all the options available mean.

I recorded my show using FHD/60p/420/10-L in MOV format - here is the Video File if you would like to review (warning it's 2.75 GB).

After trialling LOG colour space with the intention of grading it later in Davinci Resolve, I ended up scrapping that and using the in camera colour space named 'Natural'

When I play the file on a windows machine using VLC or WMP it plays fine. Exposure looks good, the colours are a little washed out, but nothing that a bit of saturation shouldn't be able to enhance.

If I drop the same clip onto a timeline in Davinci Resolve, the colours are absolutely blown out and the footage is unusable.

I really do not know what I am doing or why this situation is happening. I've used resolve plenty of times and had no issues.
This is really driving me nuts.

Any help is massively appreciated.

I fired up my 2011 iMac and the file was legible and I was able to work with it okay.

Must be an issue with Windows and the codec not being compatible - 3 days I've wasted on this 🤬
At least I now, I know. 🤣
