Hi Peter,
It’s the latest 2014 release (8.1) and OS 10.9.4.
I’ve only been using Premiere since the grey and blue interface so I’m not sure about previous versions.

A quick Addendum to this:
I tried rendering the same 1 hour feature that gave me this result:
I tried rendering a 1hr feature film last night to the Promax. It should result in a 45gb Quicktime in Prores 422, this morning I’ve got a 350mb file with a generic Quicktime icon that QT player can’t open.
Although from what I’ve read of the AFP bug the render corrupts when it hits a certain file size limit. In my case the software completes the render as normal and if you look at the file in it’s target folder it’s size increases all the way through the render, it hits it’s expected file size when the render finishes and even shows the usual Quicktime preview frame icon before quickly reverting to the generic icon and the file size jumping down to a couple hundred meg.
This time I rendered to MXF with DNXHD 220/185 10 bit and it renders out fine so the problem appears to be quicktime specific. If I have time I may leave another QT render going overnight but with a non Prores codec to see if I can narrow it down further.

Hi Pieter,
Like I said, it’s happening on both an editshare and a Promax so I think it might be an OS specific thing like the AFP bug. I spend most of my time on the Promax system so if I can’t crack the problem on here I’ll give them a shout.
As it happens across different brands of SAN I thought it would be a good idea to speak to other Davinci guys first.
DPX could be a good work around though since it won’t reach the file sizes that seem to be the main problem.

Hi Warren,
It does sound like the AFP Bug, it’s happening on OS 10.9.4 with the Promax and 10.8.x (which ever one was the last) with the Editshare.
I tried rendering a 1hr feature film last night to the Promax. It should result in a 45gb Quicktime in Prores 422, this morning I’ve got a 350mb file with a generic Quicktime icon that QT player can’t open.

Does that sound like the AFP issue you had?

You’ll have to adjust the BITC size and positioning to suit 360. For some reason when you down convert on your render Resolve keeps the BITC locked to the fullHD coordinates.
Or set your timeline to 360p and the BITC should resize of its own accord.

Have you tried running the media through XF Utility before going to Resolve. That solved the problem we used to encounter with spanned clips.

Does the “merged” part of the file name denote a nested sequence?

That sounds like the most likely explanation, although the easyDCP playback in Resolve will play the image.
I’m thinking the best case scenario for me is to use the Rec to XYZ transform in Resolve then have Open DCP encode my DPXs to Jpeg2000.
Unless of course I can convince short film makers and artists to actually pay for DCPs!

That only works for FCP X colour board effects. You can’t bring in adjustments from the three way in FCP 7.

The LM series are 10 bit panels. They were the top of the line before the CMs were announced. Lots of people love them.
