I’m getting a consistent crash every time I try to play a clip in batch with a timewarp on, just a simple 50% mix, no ML. This is happening in 2027 and 2027.1. It starts to play, but as soon as it hits frame 2 flame quits. This is only in batch and not on the timeline, but is really screwing me up. We upgraded from 2025 and this never happened in that version. ---

I’m on Rocky Linux 2027.1 and have no such issues. ---

yes ---

As a work-around, you can animate the slip on a mux node old skool to get something simple like 50% with no mix. I’m curious if it does it using the timing mode rather than percentage ---

Good point, I’ll give it a go ---

Yep, that crashed it too. ---

Use a mux node and in the slip channel put the expression frame\*-.5 ---

I was only using mix to find the right speed to run it at, before doing a ML respeed ---

You can still use the mux. The expression is frame\*-(1-DesiredSpeed). For instance, if you wantted 2/3 speed, or 66.6667% the expression would be frame\*-(1-.6667). You can replace the percentage with a dummy axis or variable so that you can easily dial in your speed. frame\*-(1-dummychannel) In fact, if you want it to be really elegant, you can add a timewarp node, but don’t plug any video into it. In the mux slip add the expression frame\*-(1-(_TimewarpNodeName_.Speed / 100)). This way the timewarp speed will be duplicated on the mux slip. Notice the space on either side of the /. Until version 2027.2, this is important. In 2027.2 and up I am told you won’t need the spaces. ---

Maybe it’s that one clip? ---

Just in case there’s some funky metadata, I’d try something like taking the source clip and exporting it to your filesystem and reimporting it. At least that would rule in/out the clip itself. ---

I tried it on a clip of generated colour noise, same crash ---

I’d open a support case. Obviously something wrong with your setup. ---
