Fireworks RAW images -- Lightroom can't-read these images only. Ideas/help?

[JoeBelfiore]

I have a mystery, maybe you folks can help solve.
- flew my Mavic Pro a lot yesterday.. took a ton of daytime photos
- then flew it at night -- made no changes to settings at all -- and took photos of the fireworks, looking down.
- (probably irrelevant) at some point the drone lost contact with the phone app ... I no longer had height or distance reading... or live camera view .. so I flew it back home manually.

When I got the card out of the drone and put all the RAW files on my PC...
- the daylight pics are fine
- the fireworks VIDEO is fine
- but the fireworks RAW IMAGES give an error when Lightroom tries opening them. It says "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo". Lightroom shows only a massively blown up version of the preview image.

Any ideas? Why would SOME of the image files be just-fine, and (other than darkness and explosions) the others be unreadable. Any suggestions on how to recover? One sample attached and here's more: Drone 4th - bad files

thx

Huh?
The files you Uploaded looked Pretty Clear to me - ...
Yes they are raw files- … But Sharp - I Didn't see Pixelation etc.

Example of what I opened...


Whats your Question ?

It May be a Driver of LightRoom that doesa not recognise the Latest RAW Files-

They don't open in full res for me on Lightroom Classic or Lightroom (modern) -- I get an error or totally black image. The more-basic Windows Photo app "opens" them but while it shows something, it's displaying *only the low-res thumbnail preview*, not the full RAW image. I can't tell from what you posted whether you're also seeing only the preview image. (can you tell what the resolution is?) Were you able to open the full-size 3992x2992 image? If so ... in what app?

You can also tell by making some random change to the image then "save as copy" and see what resolution the new version is. If it's really small (960x720) -- that's the preview and not the full image.

Somehow these photos have been converted to tiff files but weren't rasterized first so its a bunch of nothing. Do you still have them on your SD card? Id reimport them straight from the SD card to lightroom.
