Vanishing Timelines

PostThu Feb 04, 2021 6:26 pm

Have a project with several timelines but when I re-open Reslove some timelines are missing - simply vanished
I am using a new MacMini M1 (Big Sur) with Resolve 17.1N Build11 and generally it is going really well but this is a weird bug.

I am shooting various short sequences that individually need outputting for use in a larger project.
I have organised the groups of shots into bins with names that reflect the sequence.

When I open a bin the 2 or 3 shots needed for the sequence are available and I create a new timeline with the name of that sequence and then assemble my shots on it and then export that sequence.

Fine

But after talking with the client I needed to alter some shot durations so I re-opened the first of 3 similar projects, located the relevant bin and there were the clips ....but NO TIMELINES.

I have 3 projects that I have been working on in an identical way and the most recent two have displayed some errant behaviour too - Timelines not showing up in the stacked timeline viewer but actually being in their relevant bins.

The first project though has dumped my Timelines somewhere and I can't find them
My technique hasn't changed but Timelines seem to be disappearing

Any thoughts ??
