FWIW Resolve 18.6 seems to be the most buggy/unstable update they've released in my experience and I DO recommend holding off. I'm probably going to downgrade to 18.5 for the time being, though I'm super stoked for that Loudness Normalization update. NONE OF THIS is to say that you shouldn't be frustrated with instability - but given that both NLEs have wildly different crash scenarios and causes, I do think after you spend a month or two with it you can GENERALLY figure out what quirks cause specific crashes and work around them - that's just how computing works. If you're editing tape, you learn to keep magnets away from it, you don't blame the tape if that's what you're set on editing.

I upgraded recently from 18.1 to 18.6 and immediately noticed that when I cut a clip then delete the cut segment out there is a pretty massive delay before the program automatically gets rid of that gap and snaps the timeline back together. I went back to 18.1 because of that.

LOL yaaaa do not upgrade!! my davinci took a dump. i specifically upgraded for the loudness normalization thing too but i tried it and it seemed to be just the same thing as the right click menu "audio normalization." it seems to just turn up or down the entire vids volume equally to match the target. but idk maybe im an idiot and dont no how to do it properly :D

If you have any problems in resolve with heavy load in fusion clips or nested sequences, you can "render in place" and on export in the delivery page options, use "flat pass" and reduce usage of GPU from "Maximum" to something less turbo, and while its a bit slower its more stable when you run into hardware vs software problems. Also new 18.6 update, at least in Fusion page where I used it the most, does not seem to be very buggy, but I haven't used edit page yet that much.

Oof this is trouble shooting 101. Great video! I hate seeing people not even try different things. In the audio world everyone complains about pro tools crashing. 90% of the time it isn’t pro tools and it’s a plugin that is causing problems (often with another plugin). Removing it or rendering it down will almost always fix it.

I use hitfilm, a video editing software not mentioned here, but stuff like this happens there too. It's a common thing for NLEs to just sometimes act up on footage. This can be especially annoying if the software crashes not just during export but while previewing the video, which makes it harder to work around the issue. But one thing that can always be done if nothing else works is to just convert the file that's causing issues into a format that you know is gonna play nicely using a converter of your choice and then just relinking the file in the NLE. That way you don't need to change anything on the timeline either, and it's gonna keep all your edits and effects because as far as the video editing software is conserned it's the same file. Depending on the length and size of the file this might take a while and it's not lossless, but it's a simple solution that's gonna save you some headaches.

I've done the same for my sister when she was editing. Not an editor or a software engineer. More of a hardware engineer. I used to build units for gamers and editors, and I used to help IT at my last job with debian based server rooms. She was using mkv film footage and added mp4 footage as a cut or transition in the footage. Luckily that software she used for editing was a suite with a converter with it, and she always saved her projects too in a seperate drive(which I had no clue about until these recent videos). I converted it first to mkv which made the footage not look good but stable. But when all coverted to mp4, looked good and stable too. At least now there is another way to do it in Davinci cause I think my brother uses it. Considering we are gonna go on vacation, and he is looking into upgrading his unit. Be good to show him these at least.

I switched to Resolve because I simply couldn't justify paying $50.00 for the Adobe creative suite every month, since Resolve was able to do a little bit of everything. One time purchase > Monthly Subscription. Still need to pay for Photoshop and Lightroom Classic though :( My issue with premiere though was that it took forever to load, and was generally a laggy experience that would crash with just editing on the timeline, despite being on a up to spec machine and the project being fairly simple. With Resolve, I have a less laggy experience. However, I have some odd audio issues with mp3 files (I think it's related to caching, but I'm not sure) where the the beginning of the playback will drop out intermittently, but will slowly like... overtake the whole clip and intermittently drop the audio. It won't be in the final export. Oh, and Mac OSX, the infamous quicktime gamma shift is simply annoying to deal with.

Guessing you saw the Andyax video too.... it was frustrating to hear about the issues in crashes but no answer why they stopped. But I think the tally, sadly, illustrated more the level of experience with effective workflows vs the actually applications. I also saw they were editing native h.265 footage and not using proxies (hard to tell, but I think so). so I don't think generaly advice on using good workflows was considered at all.

Man, could have used this video a few weeks ago. Had a Premiere project with a bunch of disparate file-types from many sources that took forever to put together, went to output the final file and it locks up and crashes out. First I thought it had to do with me editing it by wire so I just tried it again when I sat at the actual computer, still crashing, tried AME, still crashing, tried clearing a bunch of caches, still crashing. Then I noticed that no matter what I did a segment of the render was always labeled red so I went segment by segment and it rendered fine right up until that red spot so I tried to open the file and it was so malformed that even Windows explorer and VLC locked up trying to open it. Jettisoned the file and the render went through in 12 minutes. Remember to check your files and file formats because even a picture (as was my case) can take your NLE down hard.

One piece of advice for my Premiere Bros out there: If you have been following this tutorial and still have problems but are able to determine the imported clip that the encode keeps crashing on, download Handbrake and reencode the video into high-bitrate h.264. then re-cut it and reinsert it.

For that crash where you need to watch it while it's rendering. Maybe you could set up OBS or something to do a really low quality screen recording of the program with it does that, so I you get up and do something else? Edit: By low quality, I mean much lower resolution (half or quarter?), and maybe like ~200Kbps bitrate and like 2 FPS. Just a diagnostic type video.

I moved to Da Vinci resolver since you switched to it, but to be honest I still find that I need the premiere pro for certain stuff like Xvid encoding which may looks weird in 2023, but there are some use cases for them. I tried to export a footage in Xvid codec with resolver, but I could in no way do that. For premiere pro, all I have to do is to install a codec pack like K-lite Mega or whatever and then open the premiere pro to find that in the exporting options, but that wasn't the case for resolver. Am I missing something?

Linux doesn’t support like 85% of what’s needed for profession video production. I’ve been using it for over 20 years, video production is not what it’s good for. And again, 18.6 was a specifically rushed and buggy update almost universally. Not an OS problem.
