Cannot incorporate PNG or JPEG into Fusion Project

UPDATE: PLEASE DISREGARD THIS ENTIRE THREAD. IT IS UN-RELATED TO BETA 1. IT WAS BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH MY DROPBOX.



These did not succeed:

The .png and .jpeg files reside on my main disk. (My "main disk" happens to be an external SSD (Samsung T7) where macOS Sonoma has been installed as a bootable installation where I'm testing beta 1 in isolation.)

1) I dragged the .png and .jpeg graphics files into the Media Pool. The name of the graphics file appears in red in the Media Pool, indicating an error.

2) Next, I tried dragging each .png and .jpeg directly into the Node graph area in the Fusion tab, which creates a MediaIn node. But when I connect that resulting MediaIn node to the other nodes, the MediaIn node becomes red.

3) Next, I tried using a Loader node to incorporate the .png and .jpeg into the composition. No red nodes. But it simply does not display the image in the viewer.

4). I dragged each of the .png and .jpeg directly into the Timeline in the Edit tab, but those immediately became red "media offline".

Just to cover all bases, I use those exact .jpeg and .png files repeating the above with Davinci 18.6.6 and no problems encountered.

The above was done in a new Project created in Beta 1. However, what prompted me to test this is because, when I imported a Project from 18.6.6 I noticed that a .png file, that is part of the Fusion composition, did not display in the viewer. So I did the above in a new Project to test it out.

I'm not seeing this issue with the 19 beta 1 code on Mac M1 Pro with any of the JPEG and PNG sample files I have.

Are you on an Apple Silicon or Intel Mac?

Can you provide sample files that are behaving this way for you?

Using an Apple Silicon M1 Ultra.

I sent you a PM with links to the files.

The png you sent appears solid black, in both 18.6.6 and 19b1.

The jpeg you sent works in both.

You mentioned drag and drop, and that works for me, but instead, select those files in the Media page Media Storage area. If you select the jpeg file in that area, what appears in the Viewer?

Edited! Swapped the file types.

And if both those files are working in 18.6.6 for you, please send a project archive .dra from 18.6.6 using both those files. Along with a screen shot of the Media page showing thumbnails for both files.

I sent the requested information to you by PM.

As updated. Please disregard this entire thread. The problem was with my Dropbox sync.

You can change the title to something like <RESOLVED>, if you like.
