How To Fix 'Unable to preview video' error when uploading YouTube Shorts created with Davinci Resolve



This has been bothering me for ages, so annoying.. Sure you can upload directly from inside davinci resolve but in that case you're unable to set the thumbnail.. 


I made a video explaining how to fix this as well as published a batch file on github that does it for you


Why a batch file? Well to be fair, If you're uncomfortable using ffmpeg command line and need a program to do it for you in one click, you're probably using windows :)

Today I found out "The hard way" that Google drive Enterprise has a limit to the number of files you can store..

 So I just got the following error while uploading files with rclone:


googleapi: Error 403: This account has exceeded the creation limit of 5 million items. To create more items, move items to the trash and delete them forever., activeItemCreationLimitExceeded


I was unaware there was a limit, I have "unlimited" storage with about 9.3 TB used, and I pay about $26 USD/month for this..


I've deleted a few million files and emptied the trash but as of yet I cannot create new files..


We shall see what happens.. how long it takes to 'update' and let me create files again.. 


I've added a comment on the following issue tracker..
