Frozen frames missing from compound/fusion clips

PostThu Feb 18, 2021 8:43 pm

Hello,

I'm a newer user of Resolve and am about to finish my first big project. In my project there are some freeze-frame moments, which I created by slicing out a single frame, going to the clip speed menu and selecting freeze frame. I then created compound clips out of these frozen frames so that I could create graphics and text to add to the frozen segments of the clips in fusion.

I discovered this afternoon that all of the compound clips that were created by combining a clip with a freeze frame clip are now missing the freeze frame portion. There are gaps in the project where the length of the clip including the frozen frames would have been. Interestingly, where this did not happen was in a clip that I made a fusion clip instead of a compound clip, which must mean that I should have been making all of these fusion clips to begin with. Lesson learned.

My question is, is there any kind of keystroke, setting, SOMETHING that you could do accidentally that would do something this specific? Something I could undo? I'm going to have to recreate a lot of work so if there's something obvious I'm missing, a lot of time could be saved.

It should be mentioned, too, that I made a huge error in not setting up resolve to automatically backup my project at a regular interval, something i've since corrected. Learning the hard way.

Are you saying that when you open the Compound Clip, the freeze frame clip is no longer part of it?
