Just trying to pinpoint the problem and doing some troubleshooting. My client has provided me with a set of Seagate external USB 3 hard drives with the footage. I suspect these aren't the fastest USB 3 drives out there (I have graded in the past from external USB 3 drives with no issues).
I'm running the latest Resolve 14.2 and it's been crashing randomly both in use, and during render.
Since for me, Resolve has been rock solid on other projects, and testing it with files where the footage resides on my internal RAID doesn't yield any issues whatsoever, I can only narrow it down to two things:
1. The external hard drives are too slow, and when Resolve can't access the data fast enough it crashes.
2. Some of the footage is corrupted in some way (the footage is a combination of Alexa ProRes 4444XQ and RED Epic in 6K) and that's what's causing the crashing.
Has anyone experienced similar crashes in the past and arrived at a similar conclusion?
