Unable to render in Resolve 9

[Danny Phillips]

Hi,

I’m having exactly the same issue. Waiting for DaVinci support to get back to me but if anyone else can chime in that would be great!

It seems that R9 doesn’t like anything in the file name other than 0-9, letters and underscores. I had “/” and it got changed to”:” in the media pool, by mac os I believe… anyhow… I’m now in a world of PAIN!

Just to clarify, most characters other than “/” and “:”, should work ok.

These characters are special characters used as directory separators, and hence now allowed/handled in Resolve.

I resolved this problem. Just reinstalled all the codecs. Quicktime pro version did’nt work. Now everything’s ok, well sometimes the program shuts down, but I got used to it))))

Hi Anna,

For me the problem is the “/” (forward slash) character in my clip filenames. Resolve doesn’t recognize this character and changes it to “:”, which it also cannot recognize, I’m not why it chages it to another unusable character? As Rohit mentioned both of those characters are used in a different capacity and not allowed. I did overcome this by deselecting “Use source filename” in the render window settings and it just makes a self contained movie. Just dropped that into my timeline and good to go.

p.s. Thanks Rohit, got it going.

The most apps and systems don’t like special characters. Especially “/” is a problem. If you ever try to relink to such filenames you’ll get in big issues. In our company ist strictly forbidden to use such characters. The only allowed are “_” and “-“.

Best regards

Hi Marc,

Yeah, sometime you find out the hard way… My workflow till recently has been FCP 7 to Color, Color doesn’t really care what’s in the filename… I just got caught out.
