I'm not trying to just complain, but I'm genuinely so exhausted. Do I even bother reporting every bug one by one, step by step? Will it make sense to fill out bug reports, or does nobody in BMD test on Windows with AMD cards?
First, the vertical timelines. They've always been buggy, even before being officially introduced. Effects like color stabilizer just wouldn't let me set the region to anything that wasn't within a landscape format. I thought, OK, 18.1 fixed that. But no.
(1)
Step 1: create a MC clip - 3 cameras, 1 audio, landscape.
Step 2: create a landscape timeline with it. Do some edits.
Step 3: duplicate the landscape timeline and change it to 1080x1350 or 1080x1920 vertical timeline. Set the the scaling to "Scale to fit".
At this point, during editing, I can manually zoom on every clip in the Edit page. When I render it, is reverts everything to letterboxed format. Render and Edit page give different results. Yes, I've cleaned all cache. This magically goes away if I set the timeline settings to "Scale with crop". Again, just to be 100% clear - I did set every single individual clip to zoom at least to 2.25 (6k footage => HD timeline), and it showed correctly in the Cut/Edit/Color page.
(2) Now even the normal landscape orientation bugs out. Just one frame where the zoom jumps back to a value I didn't set, which doesn't show in Edit page.
(3) That one time when Fusion would just act weird with a vertical timeline. Somehow the render output was set to 3840x2160 (project default) but the moment I touched some control (forgot which), it jumped to 1080x1920 or whatever was the TL resolution, and it worked afterwards.
I'm sure there's more, but at this point, I'm extremely tired. I don't have any hardcore super-complicated edits. It shouldn't be this easy to find bugs in Resolve.
