With Davinci Resolve, every time I use the 'Place on top' shortcut, there's like a 50% chance it crashes Davinci Resolve. I've tried changing the key-bind multiple times and it still continues to crash.

I had this issue in 16, but in 16 you could drag a selected clip over the timeline and select the "place on top" option, which was good enough for me. Now that that feature no longer exists and the key-bind continues to crash the application, I'm in a bit of a bind for how to deal with this.

Dragging clips to the timeline manually this way does work, but it doesn't automatically fit to the in-out space I have selected, and I have to manually drag the clips to fit every time, which gets old very fast.

Is this a known issues? Is there any way around this? I use this feature a lot when editing and it is making editing take way longer than normal due to crashes or having to manually drag every time.

What page are you working on?

I'm working on the "edit" page. Specifically, I'm trying to drag preset text boxes from the media pool over the video, and using the "place on top" keybind to do so is causing continuous crashing

Hi Cameron

Please refer to the FAQs on what info to include when reporting an issue.

Additionally, please create a diagnostic log archive from the Help menu, upload to a file sharing site and share a downloadable URL for us to examine. Consider including spaces to break up the URL if the forum does not allow you to post URLs.

Can you check if this issue is specific to a project for you? If it is, please send it to us. Also please shoot a video/ screen recording of the issue happening so we know how to reproduce your issue here.

I have this in the cut page on both Mac and PC; I have a timeline with two audio channels and about six video channels. I can punch in and out to mark a piece and as soon as I press smart insert, append, place on top....bang.

Hi Paul

A link to a diagnostic log archive would help. Instructions in my post above.

Hi, I don't have one to hand, but I can probably can provide a sample project that is small and reproduces the issue every time.

It seems the issue is with an audio channel I had which caused it to get confused and explode. I created a new timeline with just a voiceover in it and some markers and got the job done. I'll try and package a crashable archive up today. Audio in resolve seems to be the bane of my life, between this and Fairlight being unable to record without digital noise or dropout artefacts.
