haha yeah always deadline. Thanks, checked all those. Gonna have to keep tinkering.

I’m importing the FCPXML into the same Resolve Project from which I exported the proxies. So the original media is already in the project.

When I import, it all seems to be fine until I actually look at the new timeline. About half the clips in the timeline are just totally wrong. The edits are all in the right place, but the actual media is totally different footage.

I don’t know that much about the reconform options in Resolve, but it seems to have built a timeline with about half random clips ☹

(of course i’m supposed to deliver cut tomorrow to colorist so this is a total nightmare haha).

[Jacob Brown]

wow that software worked perfectly. Thank you!

of course now resolve is crashing every time I try to sync a handful of my bins. arghh

[Jacob Brown]

thanks — yeah it’s 100’s of files, maybe 1000 video files, with 2-4 audio tracks to sync each. Hence need for automation haha

Hey David,

This solution will depend on the specifics of your editing process, but I have a simple idea.

Before beginning your edit in FCPX, create Compound Clips out of the ranges of the huge media files you are editing from.

Batch export the Compound Clips from the Event/Library browser (and send off for external processing)

Edit in FCPX using those Compound Clips instead of the naked media.

When you get back the new processed media back from your post-house or whatever, you can simply replace edit within those original Compound Clips, and it will ripple through your edited timeline. Just be careful not to used Snapshot duplicates so that the Compound Clips stay linked.

Yes. I’ve transcoded to 4444 and 422. I also have a library showing the problem that is Alexa footage, untranscoded 4444.

i’m on the newest imac 27″ …maxed out specs. 40 gig ram and the AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4096 MB

i’m starting to think its a hardware problem. i’m going to take out the 32gigs of ram i upgraded with tonight. see if that fixes problem.

and i’m trying to find a good graphics card stress test program for mac.

i’ve noticed that after i work the computer really hard in resolve of FCPX i start getting weird artifacts now even in safari

The original footage seen above is cinemaDNG from a two camera shoot with BlackMagic Pocket cameras. I transcoded to prores4444 in resolve, edited in FCPX.

I have another project that is Alexa Prores4444, not transcoded, similar problem. On that project I am using a pixelfims plugin called “promessage” though i am not using it in the first project…

[Jacob Brown]

did you ever resolve this? i’m having the same problem both in timeline and export. only in FCPX not in resolve. on a maxed out brand new iMac

[Jacob Brown]

Hey John, what iMac did you end up getting.

I’m wondering how important it is to max out the Flash Storage (SSD). The jump from 512 to 1tb is killer.

Also, does everyone have good experience with the OWC 16gig cards in iMacs? (will be buying a pair)

[Jacob Brown]

create a compound clip of the top layer after you apply the effect. (or apply the effect within the timeline of the clip instead of your main timeline)
