  • Can’t see 720p footage in Library

    Posted by Bryan Fowler on April 26, 2013 at 4:41 pm

    Hi.

    I have a mixed resolution project coming from FCPX.

    Upon importing the XML into Resolve, the 8 clips that are 720p can’t be found. I point resolve to where they are but no luck. I tried to manually import them into the media pool, but I can’t even see them in the Library. It just doesn’t show those clips.

    I’ve tried making a new different 720p project in resolve, and it still doesn’t see them in the library.
    Does this sound familiar?

    Davinci Lite 9.1.3
    OSX 10.8.3
    Footage is from C300, imported through FCPX. FCPX sees it fine. Quicktime sees it fine.

    Resolve supports so many formats now, it would be rare for the issue to simply be a codec incompatibility. So what occurs to me (which is what the issue is most of the time, now) is: do your 720P clips have a .mov suffix?

    I agree. It’s strange.

    I’m looking at two file’s Get Info windows. One is visible, the other not.

    1: Visible in the Resolve Library
    Filename: 2012-12-02 11_15_42 (id).mov
    Dimensions: 1920×1080
    Codecs: MPEG-2 Video, Linear PCM, Timecode
    Color profile: HD (1-1-1)
    Duration: 00:10
    Audio Channels: 2
    Encoding software: Mac OS X 10.8.2 (12C0)

    2: NOT Visible in the Resolve Library
    Filename: 2012-12-02 11_14_09 (id).mov
    Dimensions: 1280×720
    Codecs: MPEG-2 Video, Linear PCM, Timecode
    Color profile: HD (1-1-1)
    Duration: 00:42
    Audio Channels: 2
    Encoding software: Mac OS X 10.8.2 (12C0)

    Transcode in Compressor or MPEG if you dont have it to something like ProRes HQ – see if that works.

    Concur — try re-encoding the 1280×720 mpeg2 to something else — Resolve might be balking at a non-standard resolution for that codec – expecting it to be 1080.

    Stranger things have happened. ProRes 1440×1080 used to be misdiagnosed as DVCPro50 by Kona cards.
