Multicam crashing

PostWed Nov 14, 2018 10:30 am

I'm on Resolve 15.2 which came today.

I've synced 6 sources. Whether I drag-and-drop the multicam clip into a new timeline, or right-click the multicam clip and chose 'create new timeline' from it, Resolve crashes.

Has anyone else had this in 15.2 or previous versions?

I think I've figured out why.

Five of six sources used 'time of day' timecode. One starts at 00:00:00:00 (it was recorded on a BMD Video Assist, and it automatically starts recording if it receives timecode. Fine in some cases where it's used for backup, but in our case it would make more sense to let the operator start the recording as it was hooked up to an ancient Canon XLH1 miniDV camera... )

So what happened when I synced on timecode is the Assist footage starts at 00:00... and the rest is found 19 hours into the timeline. Resolve doesn't like that I guess.

I can sync the five first then add the last after.


I think bottom line is; I'd like the Assist to be able to receive time of day timecode from camera, but still have manual control of whether to start and stop recording. :twisted:

Hey Ola, I was having trouble with 15.2 crashing on Multicam as well... I'd set it up, try to do ANYTHING inside the Open In Timeline and instantly it would lock up and 10 seconds later... crash! I contacted tech support and they said backup the database (Always a good idea...) and downgrade, and it worked like a charm... They also said the 15.2.1 update would fix that, but I tried that to no avail...

Just thought I'd let you know...

I did not, actually, I'm in the middle of a project and I don't want to risk it... I will when I get the chance though.
