Hi all... super frustrating issue with a feature I'm trying to output. The clips are 4K RED sources with a couple other basic resolutions mixed in like H264 from DJI Phantom, and some basic alpha titles. Right now, the sequence is glitching out with the error message, "Video compression not recognized. File..\..\src\msm\DIDReader.c, Line 4744"
I'm attempting to transcode the sequence to 2K so tried the sequence itself and I get the two errors. Then, I broke up the sequence into five parts, tried them all... same thing.
Next, I deleted the databases, to no avail.
Then, this is what really shows me there is an issue. I tried transcoding clip by clip. In a four clip section, there's a V1 layer with four clips, V2 with four clips, V3 with four clips. I did each clip separately and no problem, transcoded like how it's supposed to. All 12 clips work on their own (but not together). Then, I sub-sequenced the four clips in V1 on its own, then V2, then V3... transcoded those, all worked, no error. However, when I did the 'stack' of three, the errors popped up. When I did just two layers... errors again.
I wasted a night upgradinging, downgrading, to no avail. Right now I'm on 8.6.3. Do I have to go down to 8.5 or something, at this point? I don't know what else to do but I'm afraid of losing the colorwork I've done, which links to the RMD looks.
All I know is that the producers are floored at how buggy this process as been and they keep asking why I'm not on Premiere :/ Definitely not a good look for Avid, if it's supposed to be 'industry standard'.
Anyway, I would love any insight into how to fix this programming bug. Thanks all.
