Have you tried renaming the project folder, as I mentioned? This actually worked for me.

I appreciate the input guys .. @ninetto ,mind me I'm still new to resolve what's the "postgresql" ? And how would I would allow it through the firewall ? Thanks

Here is one of the posts Nomad was refering to, but it involves problems with H.264 and Win-7, not the database problem that has thrown you off track... good luck nevertheless! https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=55353&p=318141&hilit=windows+7#p318141

ok, that I didn't know about, I have had win7 for a bit

@sammy

Here's something very simple to try - simply change the name of the folder that contains the project. Be sure to make it at least one character shorter or longer than the existing name. In other words, the total number of characters should be different than the existing name.

also check and make sure you are working with the correct database. If you have more than one it might be connected to the wrong one.

I would also recommend exporting your project now and then for backup and saving it on another drive or system. That way, you can still have the project even if the db or your disk corrupts.

Guys I'm on win7 and latest resolve studio 12.54 , been working on editing a short film for about 2 weeks now, and all the sudden today I cant find the project anymore when i start resolve, Im going crazy now trying to understand how to get it back , any ideas clues or tips? I have alot of work already in project, I appreciate any help with this...i tired going into program data and to find resolve project to do restore .i find the project but it does not have a .backu file (data backup file)

Premiere & Resolve Round Trip Workflow

Why bother. Just have resolve make optimized media. Also best thing about new version is that it can use mp3 audio.

Well now we have 2 options +)
If my footage was of greater accuracy/quality I wouldn't bother either. But - and this is my particular case, ok? - I find that in the transcoding stage I'm able to paliate some of the issues and so footage gets to colour bath in better shape. Same with fcpx, it depends where do things come from (are they in shape?) and how long do they have to stand the beating. There also are deadlines and diferent storage space considerations.

@Pedro
Don't use

http://www.mtsconverterfree.com/

it downloads some iskysoft video converter thing.
If you're lazy and on the mac use Free AVCHD to Mov (see it in applestore). It is ffmpeg based (has it built inside the app) and is free. Interface is ugly but you've served with many many flavours. It also has proResHQ 422. Fastest is to rewrap with 16b LE pcm, works also for fcpx. You would be surprised how many expensive software converters (e.g. EditReady fuck up patched GH2 footage, either sound and/or IQ itself - aryifacts, missing audio, etc.).

You could also create a script for batch rewraping or transcoding into whatever you wish. On the mac with automator creating a service or a drag and drop app it's quite easy.

here are compiled builds 4 mac - http://www.ffmpegmac.net/

A simple workflow would be:
• Put footage to convert inside a folder, don't leave blank space in neither of them, make things easier
• Open terminal
• write cd , there's a empty space after "cd"
• then drop the folder with the footage to get the path
• press enter
• you're now on your footage folder, now paste
perl -e 'my @files=ls; foreach (@files){ print chomp($_); ffmpeg -i "$_" -map_metadata -1 -vcodec copy -acodec pcm_s16le "$_.mov"}'; find . -name '*.MTS.mov' -exec sh -c 'mv "$0" "${0%.MTS.mov}.mov"' {} \;

The reason I personally use a perl script instead of something else has to do with simplicity (one line of {2x} code) and renaiming. With a shell one'll need extra commands. Also you can follow progress of the rewraping in the terminal =)

COUPLE THINGS
Don't use "-map_metadata -1" if you want to keep video metadata, TC, etc.
This script assumes that you've got a executable ffmpeg in you bin folder - /usr/local/bin
If you instead of rewrap prefer 422 or 444, plus NR, dithering, stabilizing, etc. ffmpeg has those options too.

PD
There's also hybrid

A final note: in my latest tests around transcoding footage for grading purposes I've found that a ffmpeg coktail mix with proRES 444 output it's as fast as say 5DtoRGB and holds extensive grading marginally better. Cheers

Hello,

Any tips on what is the best way to convert the gh2 avchd files to a workable codec format that Davinci can handle? I am currently converting to prores 10bit, but I would love your input on this.

Cheers!
