All Text+ instances become black screens in DR 17

PostSat Sep 18, 2021 8:06 am

After editing a project in Resolve 17 studio on a MacBook Pro, I exported that project to continue the editing on another machine (maxed out iMac with external GPU etc). All Text+ title instances only show black screens. Has anyone else encountered something like this? Any suggestions on how to remedy this? Thanks in advance.

I've seen this happen in a couple of scenarios. Though I've not seen it be directly attributed to an export - it normally happens as a result of certain editing actions.

Can you share the project export DRP so I can have a look? I don't need any of the media, just the DRP file.

Hello, here is a screenshot from the project on the MBP I originally edited it on, you can clearly see the text+ instances are showing as you would expect:

I imported your project, all the Text+ appear as black but when I click in the font selection drop down it becomes visible.

Yeah I see the same. This is a common annoyance - Resolve and Fusion don't warn when a font is missing.

So Harry you used a non-default font on the original Mac which isn't installed on the new Mac. Install the missing font(s) and you'll be fine

Thank you very much for your quick & friendly help, you were right of course, it hadn’t occurred to me this font wasn’t part of the default sets. Problem solved!
