  • fcpx davinci resolve path problem?

    Posted by Theo Peeters on January 21, 2013 at 6:45 pm

    I have fcp X 10.0.5 and da vinci resolve 9 lite.
    I export from fcp a fcpXML to the desktop and I try to import the XML in resolve, but
    I got the message :46 clips were not found Do you want to select another folder to search ?

    If I say yes and try to find the xml on my desktop, I do not find it, nor on another place.

    I was given an answer that : Its usually a database/default path fault.

    Is it possible to solve the problem or do I have to forget about using davinci?

    [theo peeters] “If I say yes and try to find the xml on my desktop, I do not find it, nor on another place.”

    Its looking for the media, not the XML. You should be able to navigate to your media folder within the Resolve browser. Where did FCPX put it?

    run fcp x and select a clip in the Events and Show in Finder.

    Thats where the clips are. Unless you have multiple events.

    Also depends if you transcoded and imported into fcpx events folder or just linked to the media and didnt transcode. In which case you need to point to the folder ORIG .movs are in as the ones n the Events folder will just be symbolic links ( alias’s)

    Yes, thanks a lot, by showing it in finder, I found it and could bring it into davinci.
    But there I now got the message that the GPU memory is full, try reducing the timeline resolution or the number of correctors.
    What should I do, what is the GPU memory? (reducing the timeline resolution didn’t change anything)

    Pretty sure ATI are not supported you need a CUDA card. Nvidia.

    Thanks Simon
    Could you say what exactly I have to buy and any idea about the price?
    (if I understand it well, I have to replace my current video card by the one you said?)

    The ATI Radeon HD5770 card is supported by Resolve on Mac platforms. Your problem is probably related to the 1GB of VRAM that is on the card. For HD resolution work, 2GB would be better. If you are working with higher than HD resolution files, that will definitely be a problem with the 1GB of VRAM.

    See the Resolve Mac Config guide on the BMD web site for supported cards on Mac.
