What container file did you create? And also have you tried viewing the video from a media player just to make sure the conversion was successful?

@BuckHicks  I've converted the webm file into DNxHD,.mov and .mp4. Interesting they all have the same file size!?  I'm using FFMPEG in case that matters. I can open the files in VLC but no other media player.

What OS are you using? Are you using the paid or free version of DaVinci Resolve?

# Importing DNxHD into DaVinci Resolve

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-07-19)

I converted a .webm file into DNxHD. Unfortunately I'm unable to import it into DaVinci Resolve.

Steps: Import > File > Directory where files are stored.

I'm able to see other, importable files, such as .jpgs but I don't see the DNxHD files.

I'm unable to determine what steps are missing.

If you are using the free version then it could be that you don't have the necessary codecs to import those files.  I was unable to import *.mp4 so I used the following command to convert them to *.mov and that worked fine:
$ ffmpeg -i 2015_0101_000056_008.MP4 -c:v dnxhd -vf "scale=1280:720,fps=60000/1001,format=yuv422p" -b:v 110M -c:a pcm_s16le footage08.mov
