Thank you so much for watching the video and hope you enjoyed the song. This was the first time I ever used DaVinci Resolve for a video and oh boy was it an interesting experience. The program is pretty good, I have a fair share of petty complaints but It's still a great alternative to anything adobe has, and it's free!

If you want to read a long angry rant about my problems trying to get this video done then go ahead but I warn you it's not pretty

I hate tech issues I need a better pc

I think I dealt with rendering issues for almost 8 hours straight when I finished the project

I cannot believe an editing program could be so unreliable when it comes to rendering/exporting, I get that I need a better pc but the issues I was getting were so confusing and isolated that I'm not sure if the solution would be an upgrade on my specs

My project (which btw i've been working on for more than a month) has nothing but image sequences and only one audio track, nothing heavy

Only effects I've used are a chroma key, Camera Shake and some speed changes from time to time

but for some reason it decides to not render specific clips that are one of the most tame and light things on the whole project

At one point it literally couldn't process a clip that was a STILL IMAGE

and the only fix was to pre render on lower quality

and I said "Oh well that must be the fix, I just pre render some heavy stuff so the full render is easier to do" WRONG

Now when I find that one clip that is causing trouble for a completely unknown reason and I try to pre render it, it immediately fails. Nothing, it just doesn't wanna do it.

When I change the quality and format to .mov it manages to render the clip that is causing problems but then I try to import it into the full project AND IT SAYS MEDIA OFFLINE, EVEN THOUGH I CAN SEE THE MEDIA MYSELF. It has a path, it's there, resolve finds it, I can see it on windows media player, but when it goes into the project it just dies

the worst part is that i find no solution of this anywhere online

the only workaround i found was prerendering on .mov then converting that into .mp4, putting that back into davinci resolve and then it's in like a weird state where it technically works but when I try to export, it asks me if I wanna render even with some media being offline, even though later nothing is offline and it looks fine

I find it so funny that the project im working on is an animated music video about my pc not working properly and getting revenge on it, and I experienced the one thing i'm trying to portray all throughout this project

ok if you've read this far you're cool and you deserve praise
