no playback, please help!

PostSun Jun 28, 2020 1:39 am

Today I went to create a timelapse from my gopro, and while editing the video there was no playback at the top right of the screen. When I go back to see my previous project, that video has no plyback either. I am able to export the video to my computer and see it though. I am using an Acer Predator Helios 300. I have checked for graphics card driver updates, and it says they're up to date. Please help, i want to get back to using this and creating videos.

Thanks

They don't tell you how to fix your problem, they tell you whats needed for anyone to help you. We don't even know the OS or resolve version you are on. What GPUs, the gpu drivers, the clip details.

I’m running the latest version of Windows 10 home, I have a core i7, and a gtx1060. I have checked for driver updates, and it says I’m on the latest version. The last video I edited a couple weeks ago worked fine, but when I go to view it now, there is no preview. I have tried uninstalling resolve and reinstalling it, but it didn’t help.

I’m running the latest version of resolve, and this problem happens with both mp4 files from my canon camera, and jpegs from my GoPro to make a timelapse.

Nick, you need to go to the Nvidia website to check for driver updates. Windows telling you that you have the latest version usually means the driver for the built in Intel graphics.

I too use a GTX 1060 with the latest Studio driver 451.48.

Also which exact version of Resolve are you using? Words like "latest" are not really helpful.

I have just tried to update both the game ready driver, and studio driver. It’s installed successfully, but resolve still won’t work. The resolve version is 16.2.3.015. I have made a short YouTube video showing that when the timeline is double clicked, the video shows up for a second, but it can’t be played.

And if you click on play on the right hand viewer, top right of the screen, nothing happens? That top right viewer is always blank?

Yes, the top right is always blank. That is where I was able to preview the video when it was working. When I click the play button, I can hear it, but the video is blank.

It’s even blank when I double click a clip in the media pool to play it. I get audio, but no video.

Has your GoPro footage worked before and is suddenly not working, or has it never worked?

This is my first time trying GoPro footage. Before I was using footage from my canon camera with success, but now I can’t view previous projects, or make new projects with the same files.

In a File Explorer window, go to:

C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve

and run CaptureLogs

This will place a Resolve log file named similar to this on your Windows desktop: DaVinci-Resolve-logs-20181228_140434.zip (You may not see the .zip extension if your system is set to hide known extensions).


Then open Windows System Information and do a File - Save (Not a File Export), which will generate a .NFO file.

Place both those files on a file sharing site and provide links to the files here.

Not sure if this helps, but these issues in ccleaner seem to be related to resolve, and nvidia drivers. I haven’t resolved them since that might cause an issue.

Do a clean install of the NVIDIA 431.86 Studio driver.

If you still have the issue, please send an updated log and NFO file.

On The NVIDIA download area, there is a selection called Windows Driver Type.

It defaults to Standard. You probably need to select DCH.

That's good.

In the future, this would be the normal NVIDIA Driver Download site to use:

I tried that site too, but for my 1060 there is not option for standard or DCH. Thanks for you help, I think the driver update I did yesterday fixed it, but it took some time to take affect.

There is a choice of Standard or DCH on that page. It's under Windows Driver Type. There is also the download page at https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx where you can select either the Studio or Gaming driver.
