Resolve crash while drag and drop clips

PostTue Mar 13, 2018 9:25 pm

Hi all,

This my first post so... I've got a problem using Resolve 14.3.00.14 on mac os 10.13.3. Whenever I drag and drop a clip from a power bin to my timeline I've got the wheel of death and Resolve becomes irresponsive. I have to Force quit every time. That becomes a real issue for my work flow as inserting using F9 is not as flexible and fast. Plus if I forget to not drag and drop it crashes on me and I loose all the unsaved steps before obviously.

Things to know :
-It seems to happened with sound clip only
-It seems to crash when the clip start to hover over a video clip in the timeline (not specific to any clip just any clip)

HELP !!!

Thanks

What OS? What hardware (CPU, GPU, RAM, I/O)? What type of camera source files?

Is the sound clip a WAV file or another format?

Hi Marc,

Told you was my first post ;)

I've attached a pic of my system.

Camera files are from arri amira proress 444, and audio files are .caf.

Hope it helps

Cheers

Well I've read your post. I don't have the same problem, I can load file in the media tab , work on them in the media pool, I can even drop some of them from media pool on the timeline but randomly it would suddenly stop working... and now as I mentioned above I've got the same issue when I try to create a compound clip !!

I have the same machine and tried High Sierra. Went back to Sierra and all problems went away.
Apple has a very immature system version there.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.

That's bad news for a whole lot of other reasons !

Thanks for the tip !

I'll have to wait for the next patch of fixes I guess !

Have you looked into the logfiles?
You find the logfile in: C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\logs
Sometimes you can see in the logfile, what the problem is.
