  • Fusion 9: new DNx formats: do they really work???

    Posted by Michael Mccune on September 2, 2017 at 4:54 am

    Very glad to see Fusion now recognizing DNx formats. At least we can hope so.

    Have had difficulty getting DNx to load consistently, mostly not at all, yielding the console error message, “Cannot load file …”

    Admin user and Admin permissions set for all drives and folders.

    FYI, these are DNx 220 10-bit 1080 exported from Resolve from ProRes original UHD files.

    Usually seems to load if starting from Resolve 14 Studio with a DNx file on the timeline and exporting to Fusion via Fusion Connect.

    But no go loading directly into Fusion, via drag-and-drop, Loader or import.

    FWIW, the purpose of choosing DNx and not a frame sequence format is smaller file size, as some of these “clips” are very long.

    Any clues??? “Beta Blues???”

    Thanks, Mike

    ANSWER: the good news is that Fusion 9 does seem to open the DNx formats successfully; that is, without the error message, “Failed to load …”

    The problem seems to have been a conflict between Fusion 8 and Fusion 9.

    Found an unexpected “Fusion 8” tag on the opening splash screen; perhaps the old icon was still opening version 8.

    Uninstalled Fusion 8 and–so far–the DNx variants load as expected, with no error messages.

    Thanks, Mike
