Found the problem –

F65 MXF clips had been transferred to PC from an HFS external drive using Boot Camp drivers, and somehow, this altered the read-write functions of the files and led to the crashes.

I re-transferred the files to PC using Paragon HFS, and the files worked fine.

Can get real-time playback with 4K files + CC and NR nodes… with 2 GTX 690s – very happy now!!

project resolution is 4K – but I also tried with a project resolution at 1920×1080

on the windows machine:
GPU is GTX690 – 4096 MB (2048 MB per GPU) GDDR5
GUI is Quadro 4000

when I tried to play it in the Mac Pro, it didn’t even have a GPU installed, and it played without crashing

That’s an interesting workaround, I’ll test it out.

Thanks for the tip John!

Here’s some of the things I tried to do, always giving me the same problematic result:

– Renaming the timeline in the conform window. Re-export XML.

– Save entire project as another name, in hopes that a re-build would help.

– Consolidating media on one video track

– Creating New timeline, copy/pasting content of original timeline, re-export XML.

– Re-render all media without “unique filenames” – reconnecting to media in FCP7 was problematic, could not find sufficient or correct content on most media fies with original filenames.

For some reason, the last block always refers to V1-number_filename.mov whereas the rest of the show refers to the original filename – no matter what I do… Arg.

There were some issues with the original media export, some of the clips on the timeline used had alpha channel transitions and made Resolve crash.

I re-rendered everything overnight without “unique filename” and now have the original filenames in my media folder, without the V1 prefix.

The outputted XML was the same as yesterday, with 80% of the filenames no-prefix and 20% with V1-number_filename.mov.

When I tried to reconnect the XML in FCP7, the original filename media would give me the error “The file does not have the proper content to reconnect – Click OK to make this item independent”

Most of the files with original filenames did not reconnect correctly – whereas the portion of the XML with unique filenames reconnected just fine.

I think I’m running out of options and may have to reconnect manually to the prefixed filename footage…
