I rendered a project multiple time without a problem, then I did few adjustments in the timeline, and tried rendering the final version, suddenly the render is stuck at this screen:


I never used Magic Mask on any clip in this project! I even opened the undo history and select the point where I rendered without a problem, but I still get that Magic Mask window during rendering and it is not moving at all! Resolve is not freezed as I can cancel the rendering and continue using Resolve.

Any idea what is going on?

The magi mask tracking window is open. So I would assume you started tracking and didn't finish.

I am 100% sure I did not use Magic Mask in this project! I did not even open Magic Mask.
But suppose I used Magic Mask, why the rendering get stuck at that Magic Mask window?

Seems to me there are two likley possibilities. Either its a bug where magic mask just starts on its own which I would assumes its not likley, or more likley possibility is that you used it and not realized it in some way.

Other possibilities might that bug is not related to magic mask, but the tracking dialog box and no tracking is actually being done. Personally I've not seen such things, but I guess its possible.

If it never happens again , I would not worry about it. If it keeps happening and you are sure you never did anything to start it, than maybe post diagnostic logs or whatever is required for developers to figure it out.

I haven't checked myself, but generally if tracking is being done, I would wait for it to finish. I never tried if its possible to track in the background. If it is, maybe the window got hidden behind main interface and you continued, but maybe resources were not enough and it could not finish but tracker window remained. Other than that, I can't think of a situation where I've seen in myself.

If others report the same thing, we might see bug report. If not, either its very rare or you didn't realized you triggered it.

It's a shame that there's no like post button. So as not to flood. It's a shame that there's no "I know how" thread. It's a shame that there's no "I didn't read the manual, what to do" thread. I'm really sad. I'd like people to try to learn something new on this forum. But only KrunoSmithy answers in a way that can be used as a guide in work.

My favorite phrase:
"We'll fix it in the post" This is a joke

It's a Beta, so there's going to be issues here and there.

Resolve 20.0B Build 27 is now out, so maybe this will solve this particular problem. When in doubt, sort all the clips by pulling up only the OFX clips, and see if it's possible that Magic Mask did get into one shot by accident. If not, then I'd guess it's a bug.

Thanks guys for your feedback. I checked every clip on my timeline and as expected no Magic Mask was used. Then I reset a white balance correction on the last 5 still images (not videos) and problem solved.

As Marc said, issues are expected in beta. I will download Beta 2 just in case.

Same thing happened to me during rendering.

What I did, for better or worse.
1) I applied magic mask to a remote grade unknowingly.
2) During render when it started tracking clips I didn't want it to I canceled the tracking.
3) I canceled the render.
4) I deleted all nodes with magic mask\
5) I tried to render again. AI Magic mask tries to track and does nothing so I cannot render!

PLEASE FIX!!!!!!!

What I've tried.
Installing and reinstalling.
Copying project to a new one.
Deleting render cache.

Davinci resolve 20.0
