Can't save project

PostFri Apr 26, 2024 7:18 pm

Resolve 18.0.1

I cannot seem to save my project by either ctrl s nor save as; I've tried existing fixes like unselecting everything in Fairlight (bug) and switching projects to no avail.

Assuming Windows 10?

Can you please update to most recent 18.6.6 release and comfirm the issue is still present.

Any change creating a new Timeline and then switching back to save the Timeline?

Yes, Windows 10.
Switching and adding timelines did not allow me to save.

I ended up exporting the timeline and importing it into a new project. I will update Resolve and hopefully not have the issue again. Thank you for the reply.

I'm running into this right now in 19b2. Switched back from 19b3 because of sound sync problems.
Can't save, new timeline won't fix it.
Also can't play in Media, Cut, Edit, or Color pages - neither shortcuts nor play button will work. Won't play Timeline or Viewer.
Will play in Fusion and Fairlight page. Color page and Deliver page won't even display a frame.
Can scrub in Media, Cut, and Edit pages. But not Color page or Deliver page.
On macOS on my M1 Max.

Exported timelines. Anyone have any suggestions to debug it before I kill it?

I quit and restarted and it did it again. Seems to me it started happening after I went into the Fairlight page and did a little tweak.

Happened a third time. Just doing normal editing now seems to bring it about. I'd attach the project but Export Project no longer works. Which is good 'cause that'll probably be reproducible for BMD.

I've attached the Project.db for repro attempts.
