I installed the update, opened the preferences, deactivated the cloud option and the GUI crashed. This was not a good start. Here are the log files. logsForSupport.zip (1.4 MB)

I’m seeing a lot of fixed things that no one reported. That’s good, but going to be mostly unnoticed by us.

So far only one thing from my last list got addressed, and then I made the mistake of hitting render. It crashes.

Wondering if I’m doing something incorrectly or if this is a bug. I did my first cloud render, app shows that it processed. I clicked “download”, nothing happened, now I see “view export” but upon clicking that, no video. I’ve looked through my local directories and it doesn’t seem to have downloaded anything.

As usual !

Aren’t you used to this by now ?

The export fails. I made two attempts and it just says “error”. Here are the log files. Also the Export dialog wastes less space I can not drag and drop the horizontal line as far to the bottom as I would like. Edit: on the same video file also the latest final release says “error”. :frowning: Here are the log files. logsForSupport.zip (950.2 KB)

Oh totally. I’m a casual observer of this scrap heap. It has been quite a long while since I had hope of getting any result from reporting an issue/bug/error. My goal in coming here today was to list out the extremely “low-hanging-fruit” of issues—again.

1). Scroll wheel on the timeline. Still too extreme to be useful. One tick goes from all the way zoomed out to individual seconds on the major grid marks.
2). Still no scroll arrows on it.
3). Default action of the scroll wheel in the timeline is to zoom. Should be to scroll. That aside, it should scroll centered on where the mouse cursors is. Testing this aspect some more, it’s worse than expected. Sometimes, it zooms to the center of the timeline. It’s not consistent where it tries to zoom in to.
4). Almost fixed! Yes, now clicking on the outlined area does close the menu, but clicking the menu button again does not close the menu—and that deviates from standard expected behavior. So close. Here’s my bribe: If you give me forum leader status again, I’ll decree this one fixed all the way.
5). I can live without the preview menu and the open preview folder option therein. I request it returned.
6). Tool tips.
7). CLI halting if logged out. Pending test.
8). GUI spawns below the taskbar. Also known as: Does not remember where it was closed.

7). Testing complete. No changes. CLI still processes with no indication that the output will be watermarked.

What a crazy list of eternal problems

Also look at the likes under this 6.x thread: they are close to zero

Customers are desperate and don’t expect anything anymore

While I’m grateful for the fixes, these bugs are still in the wild:

  • TEMP folder wipe bug - still present. I’d say a dangerous one.
  • Duplicate frame removal/interpolation - still doesn’t work at all. This is since TVAI 5.4. At this point I have a feeling devs are cooking something new in this regard. :slight_smile:
  • Previews are still created next to the original file (minor annoyance).

When an OFX plug-in is installed in DaVinci Resolve Studio 19.1.1, it will terminate abnormally and will not start.
If the OFX plug-in is removed, DaVinci Resolve Studio 19.1.1 will start normally.

Still missing preview render speed stats like they have for exports.

When you play a preview, it gets to the end and then play button just spins forever, I see no loop feature.

Whatever the clip thing at the bottom is, it does not work…

Live render does not work, it just spins forever.

Trying to zoom in or out in a preview is 1-4 seconds lagged from when you scroll.

Quick export does not exist until you disable cloud export.

That’s all I had time for at the moment.

I am VERY unhappy with this beta. :pensive:

  • the GUI crashed again. Here are the log files.
    logsForSupport.zip (2.8 MB)

  • the seperate Export dialog is just annoying, taking too much space and overall makes my workflow uncomfortable. During export all I need is an export info line. The rest of the window could just shrink/minimize/collapse/disappear for me. During export I need the screen space for other things to do so during export this is all I need:

  • the custom output size is miss-placed in the Enhancement menu. When I want a custom size I enable it but find no input line for the numbers. I have to activate and extend the Enhancement option to find the input lines for the size.

  • processing a video file with 120 fps seems to make the processing crash immediately after start showing a red cross error in both the beta and the latest final release.

And even in this version, I’m experiencing the same issue with multiple ffmpeg processes. When generating preview thumbnails, it launches three processes at once. During rendering, I’ve seen it go up to six ffmpeg processes.

Sorry, but what the heck is this? How about releasing a properly functioning version for a change? Since version 5.3.6, every update has introduced massive issues, some of which make the software nearly unusable. Please, start addressing the fundamental problems. I’m regretting more and more that I renewed my license…

Yes. I saw this too. It ran multiple ffmpg at the same time which I had to force shut down via task manager manually after the GUI crashed… :eyes:

I’ve also noticed that the multiple processes seem to be tied to crashes. Ever since then, I’ve had this issue, and I just can’t fix it, even with a complete and entirely clean reinstallation.

My 7800x3D gets completely maxed out by three ffmpeg processes when generating preview thumbnails for the timeline. Rendering with version 6 has become entirely impossible because Topaz simultaneously runs six ffmpeg processes, each consuming nearly 20% of my CPU.

Manually terminating the processes via Task Manager doesn’t work, either. The ffmpeg processes immediately reappear.

I have the same error… since TVAI 5.4 indeed.
Lots of frames lost , the result is just unwatchable.

Does that equate to having fixed the VFR bug? :crossed_fingers:

Mine is up in January. I am currently working on recompiling the v5.3.6 ffmpeg source, and add vapoursynth support, plus the x265 lib. And then I may well call it SchluĂź.

Which is pretty much all of them. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
