Media Offline - 2 Questions

PostThu Jun 03, 2021 1:03 pm

I am using a BMPCC 6K with approved Angelbird AV PRO CF 256 GB card, 560 MBs. During a critical 17 minute shoot I got several of the dreaded Media Offline frames when I pulled it into DaVinci Resolve. What is interesting is when I pulled it into Premiere Pro I don't see these dropouts.

I was shooting at full resolution 5744 X 3024, 32Bit Float, and 24 Frames per second. I also had the HDMI output tied to a ATEM Pro.

I was hoping to do the whole project in DaVinci.

Q1) Anyone know a quick fix for these dropouts in DaVinci?
Q2) Any suggestions for avoiding this issue in the future?

Thanks,

1. Reducing the rendering speed

Thanks for asking

What format is the camera original?
Did you copy the media to a SSD or high speed disk?
If you play this in Resolves media page, media storage, do you see all the frame playback in the viewer?
