RED footage
4k

So i’ve narrowed it down a bit. i marked an in and out on a clip and cut it into the timeline the Resolve seems to bake in those mark points into the source material. I’m forced to go and reimport the shot. So it seems the crash was happening because it couldn’t find the correct TC because of the baked in IN and OUT points.

Still don’t see why it would crash.

Yes, i have the same issue. Frustrating indeed.

[Larry Di stefano]

just swapped out the computer with a newer model with a slower processor and half the cores and it seems to play fine.

go figure

[Larry Di stefano]

Hmm. I tried .tif, BMuncompressed 10b RGB, and Uncompressed 422. and none of them played back perfectly. the BM codec worked a little better.

I also tried some dnx encoded shots that worked fine on another computer using these cards (minus the pci ecxpander) and here I only get 17fps.

any other thoughts? I didn’t try DPX cause I couldn’t export them from FCP

[Larry Di stefano]

Yes I had the video set to 8 bit. Didn’t think that the ProRes would be a problem. The original footage is HDV. What codec should I render the files to in order to get better performance? I presume I should be looking at a faster processor too.

Thanks for the tip. I read the config guide in a hurry, while doing two other things….

But that would change both instances of it in the filename which I don’t want to do. If my file is called
“01. best shot ever (p. 1).mov” it would remove both dot-spaces and my clip wouldn’t match my edl.

Also if there wasn’t a space and I needed to get rid of the dot wouldn’t automator also remove the dot before the extension?

[Larry Di stefano]

is there a way to get automator to only change the first instance of the offending info? I’ve got several file names that have the same “dot-space” twice.

[Larry Di stefano]

Well a combination of Text Wrangler and A Better Finder Rename should do it now. I hope this all goes away with the new versions of Resolve and FCP, but I’m not holding my breath.

[Larry Di stefano]

Well, that does seem to work. Removed the periods it the EDL and in the filename. Is there a way I can force the Resolve to use the filename as is? I’d rather not have to text edit my EDL then rename half my files, then reimport them into resolve.

[Larry Di stefano]

I’ll give that a shot but it extracts the reel number correctly when I test it in the project settings and give it the sample path. It has no problem with the period.
