If you are using a Canon XF705 camcorder with DaVinci Resolve 17 or its earlier versions of 16, 15, you may see the error “ERROR COMPILING MOVIE: UNKNOWN” coming up when exporting a movie composed of H.265 clips, whether it’s to MKV, WMV, etc., this error comes up, in particular when the movie is “long”, i.e. a half minute to a minute. Otherwise, with short clips there is no problem. It’s enough to make you want to pull your hair out. The Internet is full of discussions on this issue, but we don’t know why Adobe can’t fix it? The bottom line, however, is that once you convert your Canon XF705 H.265 files to QuickTime MOV using H.265 to DaVinci Resolve Converter – Acrok Video Converter Ultimate, there are absolutely no problems regardless of file length…which in our case is perhaps a four minute movie.
