Strange things in the 18b3 Edit-Page

PostFri May 20, 2022 2:59 pm

Already 18b2 does not allow reimport of a 1-frame subclip (a still-image) to the timeline in the Edit-Page what I used since DR14 to create my intro. This is however a minor problem since I can create the intro with regular video too.

18b2 in all other aspects works fine on my computers.

Today I installed 18b3 and have got a few serious issues:

- Editing in a timeline in the Edit-Page DR sometimes draws white lines on top and below the track I'm editing. Didn't figure out why and what defines the length of those lines which I cannot delete or erase. The length of the lines do not correspond to the length of the inserted clip and do not correspond to the length of the video in the timeline. They disappear only after switching to another timeline and coming back to the one I was working on.

- When replacing a clip on the timeline with a different one and drag the new one to the length of the original one DR18b3 crashes.

This happened so often today that I returned to 18b2 which works fine and without those unwanted effects.

Thanks for checking and correcting. As others stated earlier, I spend most of my day on the Edit-Page which simply MUST work... ;)

Might not be a great idea to use a Beta in mission-critical work. ;)

That said, can you post a screen shot or video of the artifacts?

Hi josep, i'm so curious. Would you please add some screenshot. I used beta 3 too, but have not met about this yet.

Hi all, I'm finishing two reports in 18b2 before reinstalling 18b3 to be able to prepare the screenshot - ok?

Here the screenshots:

Screenshot A shows the DR18b3 on my monitors: (1,7 MB):

http://www.margha.com/BMD/DR/DR18b3_crash_a.jpg

Screenshot B shows the Edit Page alone: (900kB):

http://www.margha.com/BMD/DR/DR18b3_crash_b.jpg

You see the white lines which show up randomly.

The crash happened when I replaced the szene marked P104049 and pulled it's length to the length of the previous szene which I placed in the timeline earlier.
DR18b3 stopps reacting and Windows asks after a while if it should close the application due to the lack of reaction.

Since this happened again after reinstalling 18b3 the problem is obviously reproducable.

As said before the problem occured in 18b3 and was not present in 18b2. So I go back to 18b2 and finish my video.

Update: After reistalling DR18b2 it turned out that DR18b3 did not save the changes shown in the screenshots meaning that it crashed before livesaving.

@Jim: I know it's not a good idea upgrading in projects under progress. I'm using DR since version 14 and only once had issues with upgrades...

The white vertical line looks like a redraw issue. Check your GPU driver for that.

The horizontal white lines on V1, A1 are showing the total duration of the clip whose edit point you have selected in green.

It's the latest version of the Nvidia GTX-Studio-Driver. Don't think the problem is there.
Actually I couldn't reproduce the problem with the white lines I described above. However I returend to 18b3 only for making the screenshots. Now working in 18b2 everything works just fine.

The real problem however is, if I pull the selected clip to the length (duration) of the clip I placed on V1 before, Resolve 18b3 crashes.

Nobody an idea?

If not I plan to completely re-install the system an a new ssd and use Windows for Workstations instead of W10Pro. Is that a good idea?

I think you should just collect the DR logs and submit them to the developers, I don't think reinstalling will help especially since it works in the previous version.

As Jim says, the white lines indicate the full extents of the clip. They appear when trimming.

Well, this week I did a lot of research and found the reason(s) for the strange behaviour of Resolve 18b3.

In fact it was a Windows-problem caused by the administrator of the system (that's me... ;) ):

I wasn't aware of lot of updates for drivers and even the BIOS HP published since I installed the machine back in 2017. After installing the updates on a new SSD and a fresh install of Windows (which is now Windows 10 for Workstations) and all the software I use, I have edited a small video in 18b3 without those "strange things" which caused me to open this thread.

During the process and due to the age of the computer I even had to contact HP who helped me to find a suiting driver for my (2021 purchased) video drives which Windows suddenly did not want to see although they were listed in the BIOS. The whole reinstallation cost me two days although the Z420 with the new WD-SSD boots in seconds.

Sorry for the trouble and thanks to all who tried to help... :)
