save while deck loading, clips disappear

Post by Zoltán »

hi,
working with large decks, change deck, you can obviusly not see if the deck has loaded all clips,
now if you hit Control+S before all clips have loaded, the saved file will only contain the already loaded clips!
The deck will finish loading fine, but if you reload the compostion you lose clips!

here is the result:
Koldus es kiralyfi 14.03.09 original.avc
original file
(553.42 KiB) Downloaded 601 times
Koldus es kiralyfi 14.03.09 - cropped.avc
saved while loading
(229.66 KiB) Downloaded 597 times
Koldus es kiralyfi 14.03.09 - saved after.avc
saved after loading
(550.78 KiB) Downloaded 594 times
and somehow the original file is not the same as the saved after.

anyone had the same problem?

Ah yes. When you press save at that moment, the deck is actually physically still loading. Resolume doesn't know any better than to do what it's told, so it saves the state of the deck at the exact moment your press save. This would result in missing files when re-loading the comp without another save.

We'll see if we can figure out an elegant solution for this. Thanks for letting us know!
