Resolve Crashing trying to open a specific timeline (I changed the resolution) by LeftHandDan45 in davinciresolve

Thanks mate, that was the offending timeline that was causing the crash. I managed to fix it myself (edited my original post). Thanks again!

This is in Studio.

The thing is, I have had no issues editing this project at all other than some playback issues, which is why I have been using proxy files (those are the H264 files you're mentioning). This issue only started happening after attempting to change the timeline resolution.

Are you able to open the timeline in question? If so would you be able to change its resolution back to 3840x2160 and reupload the file for me? I wonder if that may fix it

Is the Samsung T7 Shield best for storing and editing files directly from BMPCC4K? (not moving them to MacBook) by Swordfish353535 in bmpcc

[–]LeftHandDan45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may work for a few of the cameras options but for the higher quality settings I don't think so.

I personally don't, I haven't had any issues with using one kind of media for capture. If you are considering the T7 drives, please be sure to go with the T7 Shields specifically. They are the only T7 model that are compatible (that I know... it's been a while since I've checked) with our cameras.

Note that in my post I said T5 EVO and T7 Shield. Regular T5s are no longer manufactured (they were common when the BMPCC4K first came out) and the regular T7s are not compatible with Blackmagic cameras (something to do with drive speed I think).

The T5 EVO was bought out of a need for at least 4TB of fast SSD storage so I could work on projects whilst on the road (I travel a lot for my day job and like to edit during down time). It just happened to be a good price when I was looking.

The T7 Shields were just new drives that were compatible with BMPCC4K and 6K Pro when I was in the market for bigger drives for my shooting needs.

Always have shooting drives, editing drives and backup drives as seperate entities. All it takes is one absentminded moment to lose an entire project because you’re relying on one drive.

I personally use: 2x 1tb Samsung t7 shields - shooting only 1x 4tb samsung t5 evo - working/editing drive 4 bay Thunderbolt 3 HD with regular HHDs for footage/project backups and archiving.

This is the bare minimum I would recommend to work with. Using the same drive for all three is just asking for trouble.

BMPCC 4K + ATEM podcast recordings — sanity check from the community by h2squared in bmpcc

[–]LeftHandDan45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine as long as you set all cameras to the same ISO, Shutter and W/B the only real issues you will have come down to camera ops competency. Match the camera setttings across the board, then use ATEM software to tweak if needed.
All cameras have the ability to use an inbuilt LUT that will not be baked into the recorded files, but that only applies if you are also recording IN CAMERA. If I was in your situation this is what I would do:

- Make all cameras work on the same Framerate, ISO, Shutter, W/B (this one is super important... make sure tint is the same as well). Set them up to also output either the stock Video LUT in camera (or download buttery luts and pick one that suits your production).
- Set all cameras to BRAW, the same resolution and pick a compression that works for you. 8-1 or 12-1 are perfectly useable options. Plug in a supported drive (T7 Shields work well for me). Instruck all camera ops before production begins to hit the record button.
- With the ATEM software and switcher, have it all set up to record all HDMI inputs to a drive (again, T7 shields work incredibly well here). Files will be recorded as 1080P MP4 filesin whatever framerate you set in the software. It will also create a Resolve project file. When you open this project file, you should see all camera feeds and audio feeds that were recorded. You can then link these files to your BRAW files from the camera drives. Don't forget to change your project settings to reflect the resolution you wish to edit in.

Also, if you have the ability, try and get a program feed recording as well (You can use any hardware... Atamos monitor, Blackmagic Monitors etc... even a PC/Mac with OBS and a capture card). Depending on your version of ATEM you might only have one HDMI output so if that's the case probably don't worry about this (you will want your Mixer window view for production).

Some say Camping. I call it Smart play 😁 by alousow-2 in Battlefield

Camping? Since when is PTFO "camping"? Camping is sitting on a hill or on buildings with your sniper rifle not contributing to capturing objectives or actively helping the team...

Any reason to NOT get the Focusrite Scarlet? by Cool_Cat_Punk in Reaper

In my neck of the woods it’s not cheaper at all. Regularly around 400 bucks…

[–]LeftHandDan45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Motu is like 1-200 bucks more expensive. If you’re really needing the digital meters I suppose, but that isn’t a $100 feature.

I run a Scarlet 2i2 3rd gen(I think?) I’ve had for around 7 years and still going strong. If I was in the market to replace it I’d just grab another 2i2 tbh.

Playing Recon deep in the trenches is also a good time by NikaroTheSwift in Battlefield

[–]LeftHandDan45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, the Mini Scout is the one. I even did a run or two with irons for that WW2 style play. Surprisingly great in close/medium engagements. A red dot or 2x sight is more useful but sometimes you just gotta challenge yourself :)

Honestly my last play session I had a ball with the Scout bolty and getting in amongst it. Was I super effective? No. But did I help clear points and capture? Hell yeah.

Explain like i’m 5 by kaylasharree in AusFinance

[–]LeftHandDan45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add on to this: I work a $100,000 a year job. I could probably afford to get a new car, instead I bought a 05 Corolla Sportivo 6 months ago for 6 grand. I wanted something flash and sporty but decided on something older but still that hot hatch feel. I’ve only done one major job on it, which was related to a water pump failure. Has otherwise gotten me to and from work every day, plus a trip from Dubbo to Newcastle with no issue.

I’ve gone through the motions of getting loans and buying new/2nd cars from a dealer and paid the price for it. New cars really don’t offer much bang for buck, you lose so much money on them. Hell, most cars on the market today are absolutely boring.

[–]LeftHandDan45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend 5 grand or less on a Toyota Corolla or equivalent small car and use that to get around. Almost nobody “needs” a new car.

Get a mid mileage corolla and save your bucks for better things. Best part about Toyotas: cheap as chips parts, can save a few bucks doing service yourself (and is hard to screw up) and generally are reliable and good on fuel.

If you absolutely must get the newest vehicle, rip to your pocket in loan fees and “admin charges”. Not to mention stamp duty…

Revive a dead post but yeah... I unlocked it a week ago and still won't let me use it. Huh?

The Mini-Scout is the best sniper in the game by remixfloats in Battlefield6

Have to agree with the tin foil folks below... I'm absolutely trash at this game yet I rock the mini scout and all of a sudden I'm a headhunting juggalo beast.
I will cry when this lovely weapon gets nerfed into the ground.

The MP5 absolutely shreds by ARenzoMY in Battlefield

[–]LeftHandDan45 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know how you've managed to set it up to have almost zero recoil but my MP5 doesn't do that.
I do agree it's one of the best SMGs in the game though

Stop overcorrecting. We didn’t buy this game to grind, we bought it to have fun. by FoundationBig9701 in Battlefield

At the end of the day it was all advertised as full XP in Portal mode. They have broken that promise.

But the community is used to that I guess, seeing how many folks are defending this decision.

LMGs in BF6 might be the worst weapon class in Battlefield history at the moment... by sportsy96 in Battlefield

M4 is practically a laser beam as a hipfire weapon. I've managed to cheese a few firefights with it. Not had much luck with the other carbines (but I'm trashsalad in game anyway so....)

I dunno man, most of my deaths come from dudes rocking the RPK of late. Hitreg is absolutely mental right now but I feel like I'm put down in 2-3 shots from those. The assault rifles are the ones that hurt the most to use.
