  Black Viewers on Resolve 16

  Posted by Yoav Dagan on May 13, 2019 at 10:06 am

  Hi, I have this weird issue on 16, cant see visual on viewers just audio:

  Media tab viewer – sound only
  Cut tab viewer – sound only
  Edit tab viewers (both) – sound only
  Fusion viewers (Both) – Works perfect
  Color tab – sound only
  Fairlight – Works perfect
  Deliver – – sound only

  Tried many different settings for Cuda and viewers in prefs but to no avail…

  (All works perfectly on V15 as usual)

  Any ideas?

  OSX V 10.13.6

  Which hardware (CPU, GPU, RAM, I/O speed)? What source material? What timeline resolution?

  Are you using the Studio version or the regular version? The Studio version supports a larger number of H.264/H.265 codecs.

  Thanks Marc,

  [Marc Wielage] “Which hardware (CPU, GPU, RAM, I/O speed)? What source material? What timeline resolution? “

  It’s a mac pro 5,1 , OSX version 10.13.6 8 core (2×2.4GHz Quad-Core) with 40 GB Ram, GTX1060 6GB running on Web Driver, GT120 for screens, SSDs, BM Decklink 8K Pro card

  Source material is 4K 25p and converted to 1080p 25 Pro-res proxy, timeline is 1080p25

  Using Studio with a dongle … – Davinci 15 works perfectly well..

  I tried many different formats and codecs but non plays video in the viewers, only Audio..

  I am not sure where is the glitch (* Fusion and Fairlight are external modules so I think that they don’t use the same playback engine- just a link therefore I can see the picture)

  ** When I am at the media tab and playing back preview from clips on the drives, I can hear the audio, if I flick between the (Left buttom corner of the viewer drop down menu) between Source to Audio Track and back to Source I can see the picture for a brief second – Like a frame and than black again..

  Any idea?
