Put the number at the beginning?

If you get any input into the process, make sure that any still images do not have any repeat names and numbers in them unless they are an image sequence.

I pre import my media before loading the xml file rather than getting the media to import when running the xml. So that way you can set the show individual frames when you import the media. When I import the media I choose the option to preserve folders and sub folders (right mouse click)
Once the media is correctly in then run the xml. If fo any reason stills are showing as a sequence, delete and reimport with the individual frames option selected. Fiddly.

I wonder how all software companies get their numbers. My specific curiosity however is who’s using HitFilm. Are editors finding it at facilities. What’s the demographic.
Do your friends use it? I’m wondering because if the numbers are as accurate as Apple or Adobe, it must be popping up on the radar for someone.

[Bill Davis]”Said someone who likely didn’t grow up where the ONLY content you could consume outside your living room was via AM radio broadcast. ”
I’m 60 Bill and my first AM radio had valves. Of course I grew up with AM radio. That doesn’t alter in any way my 40 years real world experience as a mixer pointing out that the use of a particular brand of ‘bad’ speakers is a flawed test. The latest CD I have just been mixing will be tested by the musicians in their car, their bluetooth speakers and god knows where else. What they are testing is that mixing on studio reference speakers is translating well to all mediums. But I don’t need to do that test. I already know it will translate because I have a system that is better than the Auratone or NS 10 nonsense.
The point is about reference and for me a reference speaker has to be high fidelity. In the studio I have no need for the ‘bad’ speakers as I’ve already explained, the volume test is a far better way to gauge. And I test for mono, stereo, Dolby surround decode and 5.1.

[Steve Connor] “I always take the term “users” with a pinch of salt”
Me too but it cuts both ways. I can see FCPX out in the wild being used but where is HitFilm? I also see plenty of Pr & Resolve. I’m just wondering how HitFilm rose so fast but remains hidden from my world view. Does anyone know where it is being used?

The whole philosophy of listening on bad speakers to mimic the real world is totally flawed thinking. All it did was mimic what it would sound like on Auratones or NS 10s. A much better thing is to listen to the mix back with the volume down. This is a universal way to mimic the typical loss of high and low frequency response plus the boost to mids that happens automatically via the Fletcher-Munsen effect. It costs nothing and is a much better way to judge how the balance will sound on lesser systems.
After mixing approx. 1000 docos, I can assure you that this technique is the only one that works. I’ve never bought Auratones, NS 10s or let clients listen to the mix via the TV speakers. Actually I did once and had to remix because it sounded awful on all good speakers.
While I’m on redundant stuff, nobody really drinks Pina Colada do they?? I thought that was just a cheesy 80s song meme. If I had a pina colada, I’d be tempted to tip it into an Auratone. Then it would also make the studio sound & smell like something from last century.

This guy blends everything. It’s his claim to fame.

So try deleting the render cache for that project (not your optimised media) and allow to re-render.

I’ve not had such issues with render files on a fast enough drive. Is the F drive anywhere near full? What are you using to do the green screen? A 3rd party OFX plugin or just using Resolve?
Have you tried deleting the renders in case something has become corrupted and just letting it re-render.
