When trying 17.1b7 on an M1 Mac using OpenCL, Resolve is crashing...

It happens not long after Resolve is started when trying to add media into project (specifically where there are multiple media files in the Media Storage browser)

17.0 beta7 is not for the M1 !

you must wait BMD has 17.1 beta7 for download in a few days



and your signature is not funny, but prevents people from helping you,
because it does not show what hardware and system is used!




.

Typo on my part. It's 17.1 beta 7 - it's already on the support page

ok, wasn't yesterday

Further info:

It looks like this is happening on 8-bit 4:2:0 encoded media (H264)

10-bit 4:2:2 seems fine

Why not use Metal? The GPU is optimised for that.
I can export H.264 8 bit just fine.

I came across the issue as part of some dev testing, hence why I've reported it. As it stands, OpenCL may be deprecated but it's still not removed.

The problem is observed when trying to import media. It could possibly manifest elsewhere as well, but that's what I've noted.

Sounds like a feature more than a bug. It's for those V-LOG L users that insist on using 8-bit rather than 10-bit and complaining about the resulting banding/etc in their color graded work. Just kidding.

I see two reasons I didn't run into this then, I use the default metal for GPU and I always use 10-bit 4-2-2 All-I for my footage (yeah, you can easily tell I'm a Panasonic user).

As a dev/tester, kudos for catching an issue that many might not encounter so that BMD can correct it. Helps for the OpenCL situations if/when Apple designs an "Apple Silicon Mac Pro" in the future. Suspect however most would still work with the defaults, like myself, and this bug would not have been detected.

Still getting crashes in Beta 8.

This issue doesn't appear to manifest in Beta 6 or earlier.

Also getting crashes in Beta 9.

After some further testing, I've narrowed it down to 4K (UHD) 8-bit 4:2:0 footage.

In my particular case, this was observed with XAVC footage, though other codecs might have the same issues.

Sample file for testing: https://gofile.io/d/py9tga

I can confirm this. Crashing if set to OpenCL, playing without a problem if set to Metal.
Maybe the devs should abandon Open CL for M1?

Please PM if my log is needed too.

Please do not use OpenCL on M1. Only use Metal.
