just cut in a 23.98 project, then make a 59.94 project and open the bin containing the 23.98 project.
When you go to double click the project it will warn you that it needs to convert your sequence first. Say OK.

Go through and check any timeramps, as you may want to adjust the motion settings.

Be aware your timing in 23.98 has to be determined based on how it will convert to 59.94.

Remember, with BMD, there is no “trial experiment” Download the free version of the software and work with it. Use it for a week, a month, or a year. If you like it and want some of the other “pro” options, then buy it, for less than a year of Avid or Adobe.

If you don’t like it, remove if from your computer. Its not really a taxing experience on your part to see if it works for you and your system.

(well there is the 5 min download, and the 3 min install times)

I have two dongles for Resolve, two for Avid, and 1 for fusion (two if you count my old Eyeon dongle)

I just about always have 1 in my bag for working at home, or in the field. (except the last two times i needed it at home, and it was sitting on the coffee table at the office!)

I’m assuming BMD will adopt a software activation model like Avid and Autodesk have for some of their products.

Go through an activation software on the box, and either activate or deactivate your license over the internet.
The key is you do need the internet.

Avids used to only allow you to activate it, so you had to remember to deactivate it before you turned the other box off, or you had to phone support for them to deactivate it. Not sure if that has changed or not, as again, i use dongles.

I’m pretty sure i can do either with my autodesk maya license. (tell it to deactivate one computer, and activate the one i’m on.)

That image above doesn’t look like its 1920 width, unlesss its an optical illusion. It looks like the same aspect ratio as the clip inside it, but just a bigger frame. The above image looks like you could scale it up to fill the black pretty much.

Are you sure your original clip is 1190 x 1080.

Check your output scaling in your preferences, as well as your mismatched resolution settings.

Agreed, there are way too many crash results on forums about this software.
It is still in Beta. I’m always amazed at how many people rush out and install beta versions, and then complain that it isn’t working correctly.

If you are a total rookie, beta software is not what you want to learn on.

Grab 12.5, learn it for a month or two. When 14 is out of beta you will be much better off learning on a piece of hardware where the issues you are having can be narrowed down to what you might be doing wrong, rather than “is that just not working within this version of the software yet?”

No particular product knowledge with this specific scope, but basic troubleshooting.

You are only trying to use the scopes for HD, not 4k?
Can you run off the loop out on the scope to a monitor. (assuming it has a loop out)
A lot of scopes have A and B inputs, have you tried them both?
How sure are you of the BlackMagic output? Can you run the SDI that is feeding the scope into a monitor instead to verify the signal?

Haven’t used Media mover for years. What is the name of the folder Media Mover created when it originally took the media offline?

Did you move that whole folder across when you moved it back online?
Where did you put that folder?
You said you deleted the database…did Avid successfully rebuild it?

One of these answers is probably the solution to your issue.
Your new media that was accidentally put on the original drive is probably in a “1” folder.

When you put the original media back on-line, did you put it in a numbered folder? Avid needs a numbered folder to be able to rebuild the database.

Those folders ofcourse need to be in the proper location. Root of your hard drive/Avid MediaFiles/MXF/”number”
Once Avid rebuilds the database, then you can rename that numbered folder.

If the database was successfully rebuilt the first time you deleted it, then you should be able to relink to that media
within Avid, but first lets make sure everything else is set up correctly.

(all is assuming you are using a newer version of Avid with mxf media, not an older SD project running with OMFI media)

This is why clients have to sign off on the edit before we move to the next stage, whether that be color, composite, or sound. Any changes after signoff could result in further charges. You have to say them, “we can’t move forward until you signoff on the edit”

Its their schedule, if they want you to stick to it, they have to adhere to some rules, or pay the price.

Well, if they are truly redundant you can simply copy the the media to the same mxf numbered folder, and not have explorer overwrite anything. Any files left in the original spot would be duplicates.

Manually, you could drag the database from each folder to a bin and see what is there.

I’m missing something here. What does this have to do with Resolve?
