Apparently you now can create CBR ProRes files in Resolve 14.

Thanks, that just confirms that this is a bug that needs to be fixed! There is no reason to re-name .png or .jpg files that are not in an image sequence. It’s extremely annoying having to flush this out when time would be better spent on creativity, rather than file management because of a bug.

Got this from the Blackmagic Form:

It seems simple mapping has moved to Audio tab on the render page. In my example I have 8 WAV’s for 7.1 mix, 8 mono tracks setup on the timeline.

Track layout:
Track 1: L
Track 2: R
Track 3: C
Track 4: LFE
Track 5: LsS
Track 6: RsS
Track 7: LsR
Track 8: RsR

No need to touch any settings on edit page or Fairlight page. Go to Audio tab on render page, setup 8 output tracks and pick “Timeline Track” on the drop down menu.

Render setup:
Output track 1 to Timeline Track 1
Output track 2 to Timeline Track 2
Output track 3 to Timeline Track 3
Output track 4 to Timeline Track 4
Output track 5 to Timeline Track 5
Output track 6 to Timeline Track 6
Output track 7 to Timeline Track 7
Output track 8 to Timeline Track 8

Give this a shot!

There must be a way to do it, possibly in the software for the SDI interface?

Not sure but try this setting for each audio track and choose the desired output channel.

Yes I did mean 50,000 bits (or 5000 Kb/s), and no problem! Glad I could help. I find that setting to be a good overall export setting for H264 files, it’s compatible with almost everything including YouTube and it looks pretty good overall. The render engine in Resolve is excellent!

Try lowering the bitrate to about 5000 KBps and see if that helps, sometimes H264 files have trouble playing at higher bitrates.

Thanks Andy, I’ll give that a try.

Try H264 at 5000 kb/s with AAC audio at 320 kb/s (1080p 29.97). I do this all day long and I’ve never had any issues with playback on YouTube.

Thanks, I did what you said and installed DR 14, so far all is working although I did notice that an audio plugIn I use a lot did not cary over in the projects once opened in the new 14 version. The plugIn was there and available, just no longer assigned to the audio tracks from the 12.5 version. I had to re-place the plugin back onto the audio tracks and then re-set the parameters of the plugIn for every project (103). No fun. Is this a bug?
