Proxy generator stalling when reaching .mxf

PostMon Nov 07, 2022 8:27 pm

I just re-bought Resolve studio (originally purchased on the Mac App store) so that I could get access to the Proxy generator. I originally tried the free version but found it very buggy. Now that I have the paid version (& non-lite proxy generator), I'm finding there's a root issue with .mxf files. Proxy Generator will render .mp4, .mov, it seems any file other than .mxf. Is anyone bumping into this issue?

I'm running the M1 chip, the newest mac OS, newest Resolve.

When I miraculously get one or two proxies out of the app before it crashes, they all seem to show the first frame, then are missing the following second of footage, showing the token "Media Offline" screen on playback.

this screen shows for about a second on each proxy file

Are you seeing the first frame followed by about a second of 'off-line' and then the rest is ok on each clip?

Wow - I just imported some footage from my Sony X70 camera that shoots HD 4:2:2 10-bit XAVC-L in an MXF wrapper and Resolve Studio 18.0.4 exhibits exactly the same issue with my footage (frame + offline + balance of the shot is ok).

I should probably report this in a separate thread. I'm thinking that Resolve is not dealing with some mxc files correctly.

Can you post a short original test clip to a cloud service?

Here's a google drive folder. Check this out and let me know how it's behaving on your end.

You didn't post the link. Since you are new user, post it with a single space somewhere in the URL, so it will not be seen as a URL by the forum. You can only post links after a certain number of own posts.

Sorry, Cody, but there's nothing wrong here.
I left your folder structure as it is, pointed the Proxy Generator to the top folder and started it. It generates the proxies without a hitch and they play fine from the first frame. BTW, I encode to ProRes.

You are on Mac OS 12.6 he says he is latest OS so Ventura. So maybe this is a Resolve Ventura problem

May well be, let's add it to the other ones.
