caches lost
Posted: Tue May 26, 2015 3:24 pmLast week i was working on a DCi4k scope film, my timeline set to DCi2kscope for ease of workflow, using source cache to DNxHR444, worked on a few tweaks before screening the film the next day, saved several timelines (v123 was the highest), but not the project.. i do have the habit of saveing stils tho, and this came in useful...
I had a product shot "emergency" (as defined by an ad agency producer) for a tvc i worked on earlier in the week (actor was not wearing a seatbelt, new shot needed instantly), in haste i went straight to the project window and opened up the tvc project, thinking now Resolve will save the film, but instead it hung
Taskmangler said Resolve not responding + Resolve project manager not responding... could not kill either Resolve processes from task manager
Went to another machine to deal with tvc emergency, came back to the machine with the film and it was still hung after 30 min or so.. had to do a hard reboot...
When the machine was up and running again, nothing of the work done was saved, and my timelines were back at v118 from first thing in the morning, this was somewhat disapointing, but the stills were saved, so it was pretty fast to re-build the changes
But more worring was that all the caches were invaladated, they all exist on my array, but Resolve after the crash could not link to them again... i had to do a overnight render to re-cache the show, fortunatly it all was good... barely, but good... screening went great, film is at QC now...
It would be great if some resources could be put towards sorting caches, i maybe spoiled by expereince with software that has had time to develop the cacheing to a pretty soild point, and i do not expect the first itteration of this to be flawless, i do remember well DS v3.1 losing caches in 1999, but that was mainly sorted by v4 in 2000... but not rock solid until v5 in 2002...
So many thanks for the caches, i find them to be crucial to my workflow, but - please keep working on getting them to the high standards of DS, Nucoda, Flame and many others that have spent years developing these tools
Untill then i will save project more often, and keep up the pratice of saveing stills for everything...
