Resolve Hangs on XML import
I’m running resolve on a Mac (v8.2 full license), which is connected to an Avid Isis for media storage. When I bring in an XML file from FCP7. It hangs and eventually crashes. Iy has been fine with media on the local raid, but the ISIS is causing it grief. The media on the ISIS is very large, being a reality show.
Any thoughts to fix this?

How many clips and whats the total duration of all the events you are importing into the media pool?
Can you detail your system and how you have it connected to ISIS?

The edit is about 50 events. No clip is longer than 2 minutes in the edit. Some source clips are 45min long. Media is IMX Quicktimes from FCP7 in HD & SD.
The Isis is connected via dual gigabit ethernet. The ISIS drive is 4.5TB capacity and fairly full.
System is a MacPro 3.1 running 10.6.8, 9GB ram.
Any other info I can provide?
EDIT: I media managed the project on to a local drive (rather than the ISIS) and the conform was almost instant. So I have a work around, just a very arduous one.

Sounds like u will need to move the clips to the local disk.
Capture and send logs to davincihelp@blackmagic-design.com and we will see if there is anything else we can do.

Have you tried breaking it up into smaller segments? That doesn’t sound like a lot of events, but I’ve seen resolve take its time connecting to large media clips.

1. Try to media manage offline. Open new project in fcp and save xml without reconnecting offline media. Load resolve – add isis path to prefs. Reload resolve. Import xml, point to isis when asked for media.
2. If didnt help. Try to browse manually isis storage and load more than 50 clips to media pool from isis. Make default timeline and try to play and put some grades. If ok, make one shot xml from fcp and try to load it. If ok make 10 shot xml and load it. If ok than probably there are some broken footage which causes crash if not – I dont know.

The storage we work off of for editorial is dual ethernet also, and grading speed is pretty good, but the volumes have so many directories with so many files that if I try and load an XML it will take forever… Try manually loading the material into the media pool then loading your xml.
From what I’ve seen, DaVinci does;t like to chew through huge edit volumes… it likes tight small little volumes that are super organized for the project at hand… not to imply your edit volume is disorganized, it is just organized for a different purpose.
