Error, can't render 4K video?
Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2018 4:55 pm
New Davinci Resolve user here. I've managed to edit together a project and am trying to render the output (from the "Deliver" pane), and I keep getting an error, and have no idea what to do about it.
My source video consists of a variety of 4K video clips (3840 x 2160 at 24 fps). The source video is MP4, using the H.264 video codec. I haven't done anything specially fancy-- basically just trim and join video clips, a crossfade here and there, some very basic titling.
When I go to render the output video, I want to keep the output settings the same as the input video, so for my export options, I choose MP4, H.264 codec, 3840x2160, 24 fps, same as the input.
However... when I click the "Start Render" button... after just a second or so, a dialog box pops up with this error:
...and no other information whatsoever. I've tried googling around, haven't found any reliable answers. I saw one suggestion "lower your render speed" on one forum elsewhere, but I've tried setting the render speed to "1" rather than the default "Maximum", and the same thing happens.
I'm on a Windows machine with 24 GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, running a freshly installed Davinci Resolve Studio 14, version 14.0.0.078.
I note that I got the same error when I was using the free version of Resolve 14. When I asked around at the time, someone had suggested "oh, the free version doesn't do 4K video", which is why I shelled out for the paid version... but it's still giving the same error so now I have no idea what to do or why it's unhappy.
Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you.
