Found this interesting bug today, let me go through the steps.

I have PNG.mov VFX assets, these ones are rain effects on black/alpha backgrounds.

So the assets play in the media tab, and they play in the edit tab/timeline and they even play in the color tab fine.

However when I drag them into the fusion tab they wont load at all, when I send them to a veiw there is no FOV or DOD shown, nothing...

So I figure the problem is a little "glitch" and to fix I can probably just drop the assets to the timeline and then make them Fusion comps with the right click option this way the edit page "decodes" them first, and yeah that works. Even without turning them into actual fusion comps I can switch to the fusion page and view them.

BUT, even with this "kind of" working I still cant add them to other fusion comps and have them seen. So like I can see the assets in one fusion comp, then switch over to my working film / plate comp and try to add the asset's mediaIn node to that comp and it stops working...

Okay got to update this now because this is just too strange.

So I know there's a bug in resolve about png.mov files and if your in fusion studio you can use winff and ffmpeg to fix it or some stuff like that...

I decided to do the other fix which people stated is to just recode the media to another codec and wrapper. So Ive now tried this 4 different times and fusion will not load the results, I can see them in VLC, I can seen them in resolves media tab and time line. But fusion will not load them as .mxf or .mov files. Ive tried them at different resolutions and with and without the alpha exported.

So like, what the heck!?

Maybe this is part of the reason?

Yeah IDK, it's very strange that I can view the media in its own default fusion comp but, I cant add it to other existing fusion comps within the project.

thanks though.
