Deliver/Render Not Working

Saw a post from '22 with this problem, think it got fixed and now it's back, not sure.

The render starts from the middle of the video, which suggests that it's an in/out point problem, but Alt-X does not clear the points. (only in edit will it. clearing in edit then flipping to deliver does not clear the I/O points in that page, only edit)

Switching to I/O render also does not give you the full video.

I'm not seeing recent posts on this, so is no one else having this issue? I must be missing something?

Alt+x works fine here in the Deliver page. Switching from In/Out Range to Entire Timeline will also remove a selection.

Well that's the thing is Alt+X isn't doing anything for me on the deliver page and that's whether I'm in entire timeline or I/O.

I'm running the same build as you as well...

Alt+X is irrelevant when you're set to Entire Timeline, because you always get (wait for it)...

...the entire timeline.

Anthony, looking at your pic I can't see anything out of place, so I'm at a loss.
Something that is strange however, is where you quote me and it says the attachment is no longer available. It is still there and has not been removed.

When I'm on In/Out Range and I hit Alt-X it flips it from IO Range to Entire Timeline. I think I have a hotkey problem or DaVinci is all whacked out.

Oh that's weird. Let me try to attach it again.

I think I found the problem. When I'm on I/O Range and I hit Alt-X it flips it from IO to Entire Timeline. I think I have a hotkey problem and if that's not it, I haven't a clue what's going on.

Are you saying that with the Entire timeline selected in the dropdown menu, that the render starts part way through?

If you clear the in/out marks (Alt=X) Resolve defaults to Entire timeline. This is normal. The grey in/out marks bar is at the top of the timeline to show the render range selected. This range is embedded in the render queue item when you add it to the render queue.

That's what's supposed to happen. If you have In/Out points set for the timeline, Resolve changes to that mode for Delivery to respect those In/Out points.

If you don't have any In/Out points, it goes to Entire Timeline.

I believe this has always been the case.

How much sense does this make: I noticed that where it started the render there was a magic mask. It didn't work out so I didn't mind deleting it just to see what happened.

Rendered just fine.

Hey, I noticed in your footer the bit about the calibrated (non-computer) display... I assume you went from the standard monitor to that? Was wondering your thoughts on the difference, etc.

You still did not answer our questions. Too hard to help you if you won't clarify what is happening.

I wanted to keep the ideas short. That entry is kind of a summary of this idea.

It didn't matter what I selected, the render would start in the middle of the film which is where that magic mask was (no idea why that mattered)

I just deleted the magic mask (it didn't turn out like I wanted it to anyway) and then I was able to render. Makes no sense why that would be the solution, maybe a bug, I'm not sure.

I've seen this guy numerous times and dude really knows his stuff. Surprised he doesn't have 2x the subscribers but I think you'll agree with me here: dude is next level. The setup he has (and he shows it multiple times) is way beyond the general user, the category that I would fall under. The setup he has makes perfect sense for someone who color grades professionally--it's just unrealistic for low budget filmmakers.

Essentially what he's doing is nearly replacing all his hardware for specialty hardware to get the best view possible. This makes total sense when you're working on flicks that are between low budget and Hollywood. Heck, with that setup and his expertise he might already be doing Hollywood flicks for all I know.

In any event, in a perfect world we'd all have that level of equipment... what I would be curious about is how much the total price tag is for all his gear. Think we can agree again: a pretty penny

it's just unrealistic for low budget filmmakers.

The other option (and the one that I use) is to export out your finished project and take it to a calibrated display outside the edit suite.

I evaluate everything on my calibrated Home Theater system.

But one way or another, you NEED a calibrated display to properly evaluate the footage. (I say non-computer display because most of those simply won't allow for a proper calibration. There are exceptions, usually at the higher end.)

calibrated home theater system?

Yup.

Better display and better sound than I have in my edit suite.
