Is it possible to submit crash reports for DaVinci Resolve on iPad? If so, how and where?

I’ve updated iPad OS to 18.0 developer preview, and Resolve is very unstable on the M4 iPad. The OS itself is also generally flaky, and I’d caution others here against early adoption.

FWIW, I’m using the paid version of iPad Resolve (“Studio?”)

Crashes occur generally when I’m scrubbing the timeline. I’m in a cloud project, containing both proxies and originals, mixture of .braw, h.264, h.265, ProRes. Plenty of disk space available.

I’ve turned off automatic proxy generation, disconnected all external peripherals, and force quit all other applications. The performance seems more stable now, but I’m not sure what did the trick, so it’d still be good to have a proper channel for bug submission.

Call me crazy: I would very, very much avoid mixing that many formats in a Resolve session on iPad. I think you'll be fine with an all-Proxy session provided you move the session for final render to a more powerful desktop/laptop system. I think expecting the iPad version to do more is unrealistic.

I think it's kind of a miracle that Resolve for iPad works as well as it does, for cutting small projects and doing little chores.

Any footage out of cellphones or recorded by a computer? Or any multi clip involved?

The ProRes is from an iPhone 15 Pro. There’s no multicam. I am running to other crashes in other projects, and coming across other bugs. I’m really looking for a place to submit feedback, more than troubleshoot, although I appreciate the effort.

I guess I’m going to start another thread in this forum regarding a different bug, unless someone can point me to a more appropriate thread.

If that iPhone was set to one of the higher strength stabilizers, cut off the first one or two seconds. Better?

Having the same issue here. Everytime I try to use edit tab with 6.2k footage from my fuji x100vi my DR just crash. When I’m using external storage, the drive just bug and doesn’t open anymore, only when I force reset on iPad.

Anyone knows how to solve it or Am I being too overwhelmed using this heavy kind of footage?

That's a very different issue.
