i was staying in 17.3 as I felt that was stable, then upgraded to 17.4 and faced a lot of trouble. some media offline flags at the ends of media that played great. It’s always great to see improvements – but here we are moving with real life work and it becomes annoying & frustrating.
version 17.4.1 is a mess it crashes upon opening, it will not render timeline for playback, almost always fail to export no matter the resolution, then if i can get one to export final video is choppy and dropping frames on certain clips, some color grades are left out of the projects, i have tried to uninstall and reinstall divinci, I’ve updated all drivers, including the studio version, tried to edit the project thinking the project may be corrupt. but nothing works
I had display issues with 17.4 and gave up with 17.4.2. Rolled back to 17.3.2
