  “Enable video field processing” crashes Davinci

  Posted by Dave Austin on June 7, 2013 at 8:18 am

  Not much more to say than the title suggests but I can repeat this over and over. Field rendering on = crashes very soon into clicking on thumbnails, field rendering off = ok.

  In the render window, is it me or is field rendering greyed out unless “enable video field processing” is checked?

  Any others with this experience?

  Hi Dave,

  I was a bit scared after reading your post, ’cause I had to enable field processing for a project I already graded. However, things work well overhere. One thing that seems weird to me is that in the render settings, the field rendering is greyed out, even when I checked field processing in the master project settings.

  But I’ve already rendered out and things are looking ok.

  Here’s my setup, globally:

  – Davinci Resolve, v 9.1.4, full version.
  – Mac OS 10.7.4
  – Decklink SDI
  – GTX 560Ti 2GB + GTX 580 1,5GB (I’m using the new option to use the UI card for processing with succes)

  Projects settings:
  – SD PAL 16:9 (field processing enabled)
  – footage: MXF 1:1 from Avid

  I can’t come up with anything else that should matter, but feel free to ask me anything.

  Good luck,

  pepo

  Do you have mixed framerates in your timeline?

  No, it’s all prores 1920×1080 hq 25fps.

  I’ve now been working with it switched off and I can render interlaced prores files having selected “fcp-roundtrip” which has un-greyed the “field rendering” tick box. The results look fine with smooth interlaced motion.

  All seems ok. I don’t quite get the “enable field processing” option anyway. Is it to allow key-framed events such as zoom ins to be smoother? i.e. update the zoom every field rather than frame?

  Sounds like you’re system is not able to process interlace. It’s very GPU hungry. Please tell us the details of your hardware and software and OS.

  Hi, thanks for the info. Its a Mac Pro 12 Core, 24gb ram, with a cubix expander which has one quadro 4000. I think the display gfx card is an ati 5870.

  My guess, the q4000 is not powerful enough. If fine as a UI GPU, underpowered though for image processing and significantly for interlace processing.

  Hello there.
  I am having the same issue with interlaced rendering.
  Here are the specs: Mac Pro 2 X 2,66 6 core, 12G Ram, GTX 570 MacVidcards for both Cuda and GUI.
  As soon as I click enable video field processing in the settings page, If there’s any motion blur, mattes overlayed with grain in track or any OFX Plugs, the application immediately quits.
  The field rendering in the delivery page does not render fields if you dont also enabled it in the settings page, but this is the same behavior as version 9 for me.
  Any thoughts?
  Thanks
