Fusion viewer not showing images or text

Fusion viewer not showing images or text
I have a 2012 Imac that I have, using legacy core patcher, upgraded to Mac OS Sequoia. On this same machine I have two other boot partitions

So I have 3 partitions thus..

1. Sequoia. (Running Davinci 19.1)
2. High Sierra (Running Davinci 16.0)
3. Bootcamped Windows (Running Davinci 19.1)

My problem is.... Partition 1 running Sequoia does not display images or text in Viewer in Fusion
The other 2 x partitions run OK and fusion works normally. In Windows partition Fusion and fusion viewer runs well (version 19.1)
Search this forum and google for a solution and no luck.

Anyone else with a similar setup and able to help

Has it worked before and now is no longer working, or have you never used it before? Also is the viewer lut causing issues, try to enable and disable it? Some people have reported similar issue. Didn't have a change to figure out why. Can you post a screenshot what is it that you think is a problem? If you can't post because you are new to forum, find some free image historic website for temporary showing image.

Thanks for response.

No, it has never worked on the OSX Sequoia (and never worked previously with Sonoma either)

Everything else in DaVinci Resolve works fine, it just the Fusion viewer.
I discovered it was when I wanted to start learning/working with Fusion after watching Casey Faris videos on YouTube.

So... I created a new project added an image in everything in the Edit tab is good.
Then, when I click on Fusion tab I get the blank checkered viewer windows.

I have two nodes present 1. MediaIn1 showing the image and 2. A mediaOut1 node.
From Mediain1 node there is a yellow line to the MediaOut1 node

I right clicked in the checkered viewer windows and the LUT settings are enabled.

I am a new member to the forum so I can't seem to post images or URLs

I have been trying a few things to pin point issue with Fusion Viewer not displaying images or text
1. Completely uninstalled DaVinci Resolve version 19.1

I uninstalled and remove settings relating to DaVinci Resolve on my Mac
Closed DaVinci Resolve

Opened Finder and navigated to Applications
Dragged everything relating DaVinci Resolve to the Trash
Deleted any remaining files in the following locations:
~/Library/Application Support
~/Library/Preferences
~/Library/Caches
~/Library/Saved Application State
~/Library/Logs

So… that should have removed any changes that I might have made

Re-installed ver 19.1 and had same problem

I then deleted version 19.1 and installed version 18.0 ...same problem

I installed version DaVinci Resolve version 17.4.6 and Fusion Viewer NOW working ok!!

Can anyone confirm that they have DaVinci Resolve version 19.1 working on OSX Sequoia or Sonoma?
I am wondering if it it a problem created by that fact I have a late 2012 MAC which have been legacy core patched to Sequoia

That sounds like it could be the issue, but maybe best for developers to confirm. I'm on windows.

Hey
I'm no more into this garage like stuff and whatever dosdude tricks - but I liked it a lot - and therefore cannot tell, but ... it's very unlikely you'll find a specific answer to your question here around, because you know, 12 years in Apple space-time usually means huge different changes, especially since ARM Mx era...

For example I manage around 40 - OSX - computers for family and friends around, and the gap has gone wider now with ARM ones : it was easier to deal with 2003-2008 machines to be trained and upgraded up to 2019 ones, but afterwards, it's not only the QT replacement by core video, it's a whole new system which has implementation guidelines that might change a lot in the end compared to what was a piece of cake back to old times...

Secondly and moreover, BMD obviously tries to optimize Resolve. Yes, big companies still try to distribute Intel AND ARM version (as it was for universal binaries PPC/Intel years ago), just like nVidia kept drivers for mac years after their divorce with Apple, but most of them will probably ditch their Intel version soon I think, meaning patching solutions will disappear at the same pace.

Thus quickly, I doubt a few folders in Library might fix it, even if I wish it could make it for you. And even quicker, Sequoia carries a bunch of problems anyway (even on a standard install) which leads power users to prudently remain on previous OS versions, and you maybe should as well, just sayin' ;)

Tl;DR : if you tweak your MacOs, stay away from Sequoia (and for XMas start seriously thinking about upgrading your hardware :mrgreen: )

Yes...might treat myself to an AirBook. Not many years left before I am pushing up daisies anyway and, as they say, you can't take it with you.

P.s. Seqouia running OK and Sonoma didn't solve the problem anyway....but Sonoma and Davinci Resolve ver 17.6 did :lol: :lol:
