OK. This is interesting. But it totally sucks.
I just had the EXACT same thing happen as before.
Recipe is:
1. Single flattened ProRes 422 file. (Audio. Linear PCM)
2. XML from FCP7 reference and snips the file for the Resolve Timeline.
3. Load project preset. Got a warning stating that mixed framerate handling can’t be changed since there’s already footage on the timeline. (Don’t worry about it since there are no mixed frame rates in the piece anyhow…)
4. Grade for about 1 hr.
5. Jump back to the XML timeline and add a cut point.
6. Attempt to drag a Cross-Dissolve over the cut-point. At this time, all the timeline tools are ghosted and the dissolve will not apply.
7. Create a Duplicate timeline from the XML. This is editable and all the tools & transitions are alive.
8. Try to select the original XML timeline again.
crashQuit!
Anyone else out there try to replicate the same problem!?
