Black Viewers on Resolve 16

[Marc Wielage]

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?
