In the Timeline playback, the video appears pixelated and flashes Media Offline. When I find the clip in the Media Pool, right click it and select Generate Proxy Media, the problem appears fixed in the Timeline playback. However the underlying problem is still there because the exported render still shows the pixelation/Media Offline.

It seems like I figured out a fix. 1. Right click on problem clip and select Find in Media Pool 2. Right click on the corresponding highlighted clip in Media Pool and select Generate Proxy Media (clip fixes itself in Timeline playback) 3. In the Deliver Tab, under Advanced Settings, check the box for Use Proxy Media (project now renders correctly) This has caused me many hours of frustration.

That is quite an interesting way to fix it. Glad you figured it out. It would be hard for me to replicate it, at least until I have the problem with something. I will keep this in mind and give others the recommendation too! Thanks! I will also see if I can set this as a pinned comment

Sounds like you did a great job! With what it says from the stats for nerds, it means it is correct. As you mentioned, it depends on the device. That is what the point of the audio normalization process is. As people listen from many different devices, there must be a standard from KZbin. So when you follow this process, you are making sure that the audio will remain within the parameters set from KZbin. When mixing your audio, be sure to use an open back set of studio headphones. It seems your Sennheiser 490-Pro should be exactly that, so you will have the right sound design. Each type of speakers the KZbin video will be listened to from is going to have some differences. That is due to their speakers. As long as you mixed it well with your Sennheiser 490-Pro, than the users experience is up to their hardware at this point, not on your upload

@@chadmullins7553 Great additional feedback. Thank you!

It does not always happen in the media pool. Sometimes it happens on export, sometimes on timeline, sometimes in media pool. There are many reasons as to why it happens. Are you having an issue with it in your media pool? If so, have you gone into fusion, used a loader node and brought it in that way?

Really happy to hear it helped you!

Glad you liked it!

Yes, this is the same in the new version. The smooth cut is located in one of the very first 6 transitions. Be sure to click on Toolbox - Video Transitions.

Happy to hear it's helpful for you!

It's really useful

Happy you liked it

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, we have already finished this and have done a giveaway already. However, you can go to rvisual.store and check them out to see if there is anything that is specifically good for you.

Sorry to hear you are dealing with that... It is really annoying. DaVinci is really sensitive and this is happening way too often. I have had something like this happen too. I manually removed the media from DaVinci Resolve and then brought the media back in to replace it, which solved my issue. If you are using proxies, that also could possibly cause that. So if you have proxies, try to disable that. If you have done any render in place, than decompose it and then try again.

I was hoping to give you a positive update now that 8 days has past. I'm still working at it. It's like whack a mole. I have to upload to KZbin to find precisely where the media offline glitch shows up since it only appears in the final product. The upload itself takes several hours. I have removed the original 2 glitches, only to have a new 2 show up somewhere else, then I fix those and one will come back. My latest upload today has everything fixed but then a new one just as short as a blink of the eye shows up where there wasn't an issue any of the other 8 times, but its there. I have 8 more videos to produce. I can't start the next one until I fiqure this out. I most assuredly can't afford to take 8 or more days to upload a video that has nothing offline on the timeline. I've done more than 14 uploads! Private ofcourse until I can solve this riddle. This first project is a struggle for sure.​@@chadmullins7553

@@thedisciplestable5215 I'm so sorry to hear that... This is really ridiculous... Recently DaVinci has had so many issues and is very sensitive to this... What computer are you using? What are the computers stats? What sounds like the issue to me is DaVinci Resolve is having a GPU related issue. While reading and writing the file during the export it is missing part of the media... Are there any color grades, motion graphics, adjustment clips or anything above the secitions that keep going off-line ? Before you export again, what I suggest you do is go to "Playback" then go down to Render Cache and turn the render Cache to "None" Next Delete all cache. Restart DaVinci and then prepare for export. At least this way there won't be any cache that can be corrupted and might allow for it to read and write correctly.

@@chadmullins7553 I really appreciate your insight. It's a brand-new computer "built to handle DaVinci", I was told by my IT guy. Although this list says it does not have a second drive, it does. It has a C and E drive. There are no color grades. There are motion graphics. The issue was at first over 2 motion graphics each 24 frames. The next renders, I fixed those, then it was found to show up where there were video transitions. Fixed those. Then the next renderings were over my PowerPoint mp4 files with no extras. I've gotten rid of the cache before. but it will have to be done again. Cache was set up to be sent to C drive on a different computer and placed in a One drive folder. (IT guy liked it that way, although he is unfamiliar with Davinci, he's an Adobe Premiere guy). My C drive (235G) isn't as big as my E drive (931G). I want to set up a proper template for the next project and move all to the E drive. I also have a SSD 3T. Presently on the last render and this next one I am trying to take sections of properly rendered videos and place them over the "bad spots".

@@chadmullins7553 I appreciate your insights. The last 3 videos had sections that were not corrupted; therefore, I used those sections to overlay wherever I had a media offline frame. This took 2 additional renders to get right. Finally, just now!! I have a clean uploaded video on YT. I did as you recommended and deleted all cache. I had done this at the start of the very first video that I uploaded, and this was the one with the first 2 clip media offline issues. So perhaps the combination of using parts of various properly rendered videos with a once again deleted cache did the trick. I am going to share the specs of my new computer, "built to handle DaVinci Resolve", said my IT guy who placed the order on my behalf. But after him telling me not to delete ANYTHING including the cache except for perhaps twice a year, and his not having any knowledge of DaVinci because he was formerly a video editing guy for Hollywood using Adobe Premiere....just maybe my computer is not built as it should be. Therefore, I do appreciate your review. The specs will say that it only has one C: drive (235GB), but I assure you it has a second one named E: drive (931GB). Here is the description.

This is a great question and highlights common misconceptions about the relationship between hardware specs and performance. Yes, the M4 chip is designed to make things more efficient, but it is not designed to eliminate RAM. Apple silicon has the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine sharing the same pool of memory, making it more efficient. It does allow for the machine to handle 4k video editing more efficiently than traditional systems with separate RAM and VRAM When it comes to RAM requirements for Video Editing... Softwares like I use - DaVinci Resolve or FCP11 and PP use the RAM to cache, preview and render content. The more RAM you have available, the more complex and higher quality of a project you can handle without it slowing down crashing. The Hardware acceleration that comes with the Max Chips also really helps a lot! More RAM is recommended because even with the M4 chip being so efficient, it will be too taxing on the complex video edits and things like that once color grading, audio edits, noise reduction, motion graphics and other things are applied. When people are working in a professional or semi-professional setting, time is money. The RAM and better configurations will not only help during each individual edit, but will save a ton of time over a longer period. The video editing abilities of both people and softwares are consistently increasing and so will the demand of the computers, so the RAM will also be future proofing. For those who are getting base models because of the excitement over bench marks, they will be upgrading to newer chips with more RAM in the near future because they didnt purchase the product for the long term.

@@chadmullins7553or maybe those going for base models now will upgrade to the next base model in 2 years

Sorry to hear of your struggles. It is really annoying when you run out of memory like that. You can and should locate where DaVinci resolve was creating the render cache and you can delete that cache manually. If you are not sure how to find the location of the folder on the computer, just check the settings in DaVinci Resolve by going down to the cog in the bottom right. Click that (It looks like a gear) the project settings will come up. Scroll down a bit and in the middle you will find a section for "working folders" within that will have 3 areas for folders. This is the location where DaVinci Resolve is storing the cache files. Use that path to find the files you need to delete and delete them manually.

@@chadmullins7553 See that's what I don't understand the caches are sent to my D drive, which I deleted but still since using davinci a few days ago I have gone from 57G used to only 54G free.

Sorry to hear you are having an issue. I know this is really annoying. If you have not figured it out yet, than we can trouble shoot it a bit. Have you deleted your render cache? Also, have you set your render cache to Smart? May I ask what your computer specs are? And are you using the free or studio version of DaVinci resolve?

Yes! That will be very exciting for creators and professionals!

I am sorry to hear it didnt work. There are many reasons that media offline happens in DaVinci Resolve, especially with 19. I have made a new tutorial which goes over a bunch more possibilities to help you. You can view that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpipZpWMnrqJms0

I'm sorry you are still having issues... There are many reasons which could cause the issue. If you would like to figure it out, I can try to help. What computer are you using? What are the specs? Are you using the free version of DaVinci resolve or studio? And what was the video codec? H.264? H.265? Shot from a cell phone or GoPro?

Hey! Sorry to hear you are having this issue... I have a few questions so we can narrow down exactly what is causing it and how to fix it... First I need to know what kind of computer are you using?

Hey! Really sorry to hear you are having the issue and it's not fixing easily. I have some questions to try and understand the other possibilities. Since you have the media playing, then it goes offline after you start doing something than we may be able to narrow it down a bit. Are you using the free version of DaVinci Resolve or the Studio version? May I ask what type of computer you are using and what hardware is inside? Also, what camera was the video shot on? Is it 4K?

Sounds like you are doing great!

Apple.com is where all of it was. I had made sure I confirmed every price as I was editing too... When I first shot the video, things were cheaper, then they raised the prices. So I had to re-do some of the video. Apple can change the prices at any time and also different locations around the world may have a different price.

However that may be, the pricing should be close and should be similar in difference between models .

@@chadmullins7553 Again, WHERE are you seeing these prices?

@@chadmullins7553 Won't answer my question and deleted my reply? Got it. I'll never be back.

Hey! thank you for the feedback! This is a very interesting and unique question. I took a quick glance at some of your videos, I will watch more later. I can hear in your audio that you have increased the base volume a lot! That is bringing out a lot of other types of noises, which are causing other issues for you. So there are a lot of things to help with your recordings and your audio levels. What you really need to do is be sure to have a high quality microphone. If you set it up with something like I use and an audio interface, you will be able to get a high quality sound into your recording device. You can record into many different programs, such as Adobe Audition or something like that. If you learn how to record a high quality audio, that will be the first step. Next, once you are ready to really edit your audio, you can do that in DaVinci or in another program, however I will stick with DaVinci to help it flow a little easier. If you have the studio version of resolve, you can follow this tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmOVh2Rjptp6j7c This is an updated version of the tutorial you just watched, which will help you with your audio from start to finish. there is a section where I mention using hte dialogue leveler. When you enable the dialogue leveler you can select the "Mode" dropdown and select "Optimize Moderate Levels" and see how that works. If not, maybe try "Lift Soft Whispery Sources". If you give these a shot, feel free to let me know how things are going and maybe I can help you a little more in figuring it out. Audio is a difficult thing and it is a process to get it right. So keep in mind it will take some time for you to get it right.

Thank you very much in taking out time to help me. Highly appreciated. Will follow your instructions and will come back once I go through every bit of details you shared. Thank you and Warm Regards.

@@matrishva No problem! That is what I created this channel to do! =)

First of all, thanks for the sub! Really appreciate it! I will do my best to answer questions you have... Using FCP and PS at the same time while having so many tabs open, you are going to need as much ram as you can get... 48 or 64 GB will be giving you more to be able to operate the programs at one time. You still may run into some RAM issues from time to time with 48 GB if you are really pushing it with your edit. You would definitely need the Pro chip if you want it to work effectively. The CPU is really going to be what helps the browser being open with so many tabs. Hopefully with a lot of ram and disk space, you are not going to be running into to many problems. I never have that many tabs open (that I am aware of) so I'm not sure of how much that is going to affect you. That will be something you have to test out. As much as you are going to be pushing this computer, I am sure the fans will be coming on. I don't know how loud they will get, but if you can do some noise reduction than the fan noise shouldn't be too much of an issue. The two SSD's you are using are nice, however once you hit a certain amount of memory usage, they slow down a lot! I personally edit video with a Samsung 980 pro and use a sandisk extreme pro 1tb SSD for Photo editing. What I suggest you do here is put your files for editing onto the 4tb, your music, sfx, b-roll and whatever else you need on that. Use the smaller SSD to run the Cache files. That will allow the faster transfer speeds for the cache files and the other files do not really need that much speed, so you will be okay. If you are doing this professionally, than I suggest you figure out your finances for it and invest with the idea of future as well. If the level of editing you are doing is going to be this level and more in the future, you may want to look into a max chip in the Mac Studio. Be it an M1 Max or M2 Max, they are still amazing computers and can really be pushed. If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out and ask

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about.

@@Jackson-cs Wow, I see... Sorry it took so long ,but happy to hear it worked out!

Thank you, Sir!

I totally understand! Thats why in this I wanted to start a a realistic starting point for a content creator of what the good configuration and cost would be. Everyone is promoting the base machines, but they really are not enough for content creators.

I can totally understand! When I purchased my M2 Max, I had to consider if I wanted the M3 Max from the MacBook Pro or if I wanted the M2 Max Mac Studio. For me, the Mac Studio was so much cheaper and I was not in need of portability. So I went with the M2 Max and then later upgraded my 2017 MacBook Pro to an M3 Pro. I think there is a lot more risk involved with the MacBook Pro and the high cost of the Max chip, so its better for me to stick with the Mac Studio in the home studio

@ I don’t really want or need a laptop. But Apple skipped the M3 Studio completely and we have only a vague timeline when the M4 Studios will actually ship. I have to assume the holdup with the Studio models is the Ultra chip since the Max is already up and running. But then, they probably wanted to save the top end chips for the laptops, which are clearly more expensive (and profitable) than the desktops.

@@KeithWallsVocals-od5ry I totally understand! They do not want the Mac Studio to compete with the MacBook Pro, which is why they have not launched it yet. I know it may seem vague, but I believe we will see them by April or May if they do not surprise us just before Christmas. The M3 was skipped from the Mac Studio for specific reasons regarding the type of chip, As they went down to 3 nanometers, there were 2 types of 3 nanometer chips. The M3 was put on the first one which is more expensive and faulty, meaning that apple would have to create more binned chips and it would be at a higher cost. The had the exclusive on those chips, so no other company could use them. All of the M3 computers will be the only computers on that die. So the M4 is on a newer and better die which is cheaper and has less issues during manufacturing. They also updated the fuse on the max chip, which means the layout for the Ultra chip will be different as well. So the ultra chip will be even more powerful than what many anticipate. If you can wait, you will get an amazing computer... If you lease the Mac Studio with the M4 ultra, you will have the most insane option... Just something to think about.

An almost maxed out M2 Max Studio is $4200. The M4 Max MBP I’ve been contemplating is $6200. Big difference!

@@KeithWallsVocals-od5ry That is huge! May I ask why you want to max it out? Personally, I am running an M2 Max with 64 GB ram and 1tb SSD. I currently am using an external SSD for editing with, however will be building a server soon. Adding extra storage on the inside is quite expensive and is not really necessary... When it comes to editing, I am editing with DaVinci resolve and I do quite a bit of motion graphics and other high GPU intensive thins with it. I really do not have much of an issue. I can run DaVinci Resolve and Photoshop at the same time and still have enough ram. So if you are going up above that, you must have a really tough workflow. If you are goin that high, why not go for an Ultra, but with a little less interior storage and then maybe set up a NAS or something for cheaper and larger storage?

@@chadmullins7553 it was screen recording on computer

That is a ver good question! The iMac is a wonderful machine and has an amazing screen to it. If you are upgrading from a 2015 model, it's going to be a huge upgrade. When it comes to the photo editing, if you are using a lot of denies, exporting a lot and if doing a lot of work within something like Adobe Camera Raw, than it will be pushing the chip hard. You have to keep in mind the iMac is quite thin and the base model only has 1 small fan. The upgraded has 2 small fans, but even then, the cooling system is really not that much. You will be putting the computer through a lot of thermal cycling which will slow the computer down quite a bit on heavy loads. So with that being said, if you are upgrading from 2015 intel base Mac, you may even want to consider an M1, M2, M3 Pro or Max chip if it happens to be affordable. They are all really amazing when it comes to photography. I am a photographer too and I moved up to the M2 Max(Mac Studio) M3 Pro(MacBook Pro) from a 2017. I have no issues with the photography anymore. Everything operates very fast and smooth. So if you are doing a lot of photos, the iMac might not be what you expect. The bench marks we keep hearing about a really exciting, however the 10 core CPU is not going to really give you enough power for very heavy needs. If you are not doing too many photos at a time and are focused heavily on the quality of a few photos, than it might be a good machine. I would suggest you do a little more research into professional photographers who have been trying to use the M4 iMac to see.

I have a 2015 MacBook too, but am upgrading to a used M1 Max 32GB, which should last for ages I hope 🤞🏻The 2015 is just too slow for modern software.

@@abagatelle The M1 Max with 32 GB could work very well for several years. Especially if you are mostly focused on photography as well.

Glad to hear it worked out for you!

Sorry to hear the issues... There are many reasons why it could be offline. I made a newer video to help with some of the other issues. This video you watched here was the most common, however other issues are becoming more common in DaVinci Resolve 19. So here is the newer tutorial which might be helpful kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpipZpWMnrqJms0

My upper monitor is a 27". The one on the bottom is a 40" ultra wide. I use the dual screen setup in DaVinci and put the full screen timeline on the 40". I then screen share to my MacBook Pro and run that as a "video clean feed". That allows me to make the edits with the full screen timeline and opens a ton of space up for the other stuff and be able to see how it would look on the laptop. I have links in the description that goes to these monitors. They have a nice blackfriday deal going on too.
