Blackmagic Forum

When I export a movie using the YouTube preset it results in a movie that plays fine on my mac, but freezes and just play audio in my iPhone. I already tried several times with different videos.

Anyone had the same problem?

I am using Davinci 17.1B Build 3

Just checked a video encoded in DR17b Build 9 using the standard YouTube encode render setting and it plays fine on an iPhone (12 Max).

I have exactly the same issue, no idea how to fix it.

Blackmagic any idea?

I noticed that rendering in h265 it works fine.

Make phone calls with your phone.

Watch films and videos on the Home Theater.

Newer iPhones seem to love H.265 more than H.264.

The issue is not with the newer iPhones, it worked fine before Big Sur / Resolve 17.

Blackmagic, you're up to Beta 4 now, you plan look into this?

It's necessary for social media content production.

I live in a sailboat and the iPhone is the only way I have to upload episodes to my channel.
Of course I can use it as a hotspot, but to keep an MacBook Pro turned on just to upload a movie will drawn my battery in a unnecessary way. I just use solar panels to edit.

Well, Blackmagic is up to BETA6 and still haven't fixed this issue.
