  • 2 part question. iMac 5k/DaVinci & New Mac Pro

    Posted by Evan Anthony on April 20, 2015 at 8:35 pm

    Hi All,

    I’m not asking iMac vs. New MacPro.

    I have two questions.

    1) New MacPro: I’ve read here and on BM forum about people having render issues with the NMP is this still happening? Solved? How?

    2) Anyone using a new iMac 5k and DaVinci? Like it? Pros/Cons?

    Thank you!

    Evan

    It won’t work with an iMac. You need more GPU power. Read the BMD Config documents.

    5K is doable provided you’re monitoring in 1080 HD. But Temporal NR will not work. If you’re delivering HD, you could always render HD as a first pass, then do a secondary pass with ProRes 444 files and do the NR there as a workaround. But only on a full-size desktop Mac with the right graphics cards.
