BM IPhone App - Proxy Generation Issues

PostTue Jul 23, 2024 8:54 am

Hi,

I shot material on the iPhone 15 Pro using the BM app. I set to record ProRes 4K with a H.265 proxy. I am now linking the proxies in DaVinci and there seems to be a glitch on a number of files. The duration of the H.265 proxy is 1 second shorter than the 4K ProRes clip, which means I can't link the proxy to the original media.

Has anyone else experienced this? Or know why it has happened? I'm now having to generate proxies for these clips which is significantly slowing down my workflow.

Any insights appreciated,

Eva

Which version of the app is used?

Did you use Blackmagic Cloud to sync the files to Resolve or just a manual drive copy?

Can you put examples of the clips and proxy that won't link on a shared drive and place a link here with a space in the path so I can look?

It was app version 1.5.000023 and recording straight to SSD (T7).

I'm uploading example now to a shared drive, I'll link once uploaded.

Below is the metadata for one of the clips, you can see the prores duration is 00:13:52:09 and the h.265 proxy is 00:13:52:07.

Any idea on why this might be?

Is it possible to send you the link privately?
