Hi all, you are probably sick me by now but I wanted to take the time to list some of the weird things I experience when using Da Vinci 19, wonder if it it just me or not. I have been running it for around 2 months, just under now, and I have had a computer specialist round just to ensure my desktop was sufficient to run, which it certainly is. Generally I don’t have issues however the following things happen / have happened:
-Some video transitions completely slow down and almost halt the timeline play back (both in software and full screen CTRL F). If I use them, the video has to catch up / speed up considerably once it passes through these transitions on playback. The whole thing goes slow mo and funky. The final delivery is never affected, it is always only when scrubbing or checking in edit.
-Some transitions appear in my toolbar but throw up odd error messages when I hover over them. One is “detail dissolve” but there are others. I get a Blackmagic pop up saying “I have hit a limit” and to buy studio. I thought that if it appeared in free it was useable? This first pop up is then followed by another which has an error message, it reads something along the lines of detail recovery error, I have to check a box and close it each time. I have closed it now, but could screenshot this unless someone knows what it is.
-Music / Bluetooth. This is a major issue. I never normally, but, when I switch my bluetooth on (seperate chinese USB bluetooth plug in) and start listening to music on my headphones as I work, I lose all sound from DV and lose it forever no matter what settings I change. I have to reboot the whole desktop. It always saves where I am and my work, but I literally have to restart entirely to get the audio back and working. Everything in DV is muted until I do this.
-Occasional catrastrophic crashes. I think I have had 2, maybe 3. Todays was the worst though, on my recce vid. I had just started it, and my entire desktop went blue with a weird face, my sound went all electric and crashed so I had a permanent glitch sound too. I thought I had literally fried my system. It then restarted like nothing had happened. Really odd.
I joined the Blackmagic forum, and am reading a lot, and I mean a lot of people complaining about crashing and stuttering on videos. In the main mine is fine but is any of this familiar with anyone? I have posted on that forum however there is around a post every 5 minutes and most get lost / unanswered.
