Activity Forums DaVinci Resolve Resolve behaving unstable

  • Resolve behaving unstable

    Posted by Mika Joon on November 13, 2010 at 11:08 pm

    here’s my situation, I started working on R3D feature 90 minutes long 1000 cuts or so

    I updated mac to OSX 10.6.5 on friday and installed Nvidia update from website

    I also typed debug in preferences due to clips not showing in media pool, and left it typed, I notice that If I remove this after conform I get black frames when restarting program, so code stays

    I was able to do split screen to offline and everything appears ok

    my problem is that I get a lot of unexpected quits by just

    – scrolling through timeline
    -trying to save the project
    -trying to export stills
    -swapping conform timelines, etc

    I also get spinning wheel when saving and exiting that lasts for 10 minutes or more

    needless to mention that when Resolve quits, it looses all work done, very frustrating, this is adding so much wasted time to my project

    is this related to the performance drop due to debug code in preferences?, new OSX upgrade, Nvidia driver??

    my system

    new 2010 12 core 2.93ghz with 24 gigs of Ram, Raid of 500mbs read

    Nvidia GTx 285 slot 1
    Nvidia GT120 slot 2
    Decklink Extreme HD slot 3
    esata card slot 4

    Resolve 7.0.2

    anyway of releasing update soon to solve some of the problems already mentioned in this forum, not to have to wait for MAJOR release which might still be sometime away

    thanks

    Hi Jacob

    Rohit was great support to help me solve my problem, you can not have a project more than 30 min long as 1 project. My solution was to divide the project into 6 reels as separate projects not just EDLs within 1 project
    If the timeline is too large Resolve will run out of memory and take a long time to save or just quit.
    So now I’m working from 6 x 15 minutes projects named reel 1, reel 2 , etc

    Good luck

    Which is what you should do for film work anyway.
    At least I am used to that workflow for the print out.
    Film Reels are not longer than than too.
    Keeps a tidy timeline too.

    How would i take the color data from a project i’ve already worked on a merge it over to the other projects?

    Already half through my color session?

    Hi Jake

    This probably way too late but I see that grabbed stills remain in the project even if you delete the edl timeline you created them in.

    So this is something that may work for you (NB this isn’t something that I’ve done – it’s a theory)

    Do a ‘grab all stills’ then delete the edl timeline. Save the project, then create versions of the new project with separate 15 min EDLs in each and copy your grades back onto the relevant clip. Not automatic by any means but better than restarting the whole thing.

    Mike
