Codec vs. Performance

[Ola Haldor voll]

I’ll check what I can get my eSATA RAID0 setup to play with, but I recon it was somewhere around 320+ MB/S with my eSATA RAID setup.

So if your footage is originating from a Canon 5D/7D what would be the workflow of choice. I prefer Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 for the integration but also have Final Cut Studio 2 installed. I could start in FCP and move to P.Pro…but what would you all do? I like the native dslr file workflow in Premiere Pro CS5 but now that I’m considering Davinci for my CC I’m not quite sure what is the best route to take.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be a lot of help. I have some DSLR projects coming up.

I graded a music video yesterday from R3Ds on a 2008 mac pro. At 1/8 Rez good I was getting solid 24fps playback with sound and to be honest the resolution was sufficient, and definitely worth realtime playback.

I only had to swap out a few shots into half rez good to check my keying.

One thing I’m wondering about though – when I tried to do a render out to Quicktime using Full Rez Premium setting, I started getting dropped frame, frame skipped error. I understand my computer is no longer a beast, but when rendering, why would DaVinci have to skip frames? Shouldn’t it just go slower?

Are you using v7.0.2?

If yes, could you capture logs using the Capture Logs app in /Library/Application Support/BlackMagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/ and send to our support email – davincihelp (at) blackmagic-design.com

Please capture the logs immediately after you have the problem.

If not, please upgrade to v7.0.2 and see if that fixes this issue.

Yes, I was using 7.0.2 – I’ll set up the render again and send you the logs. Thank you!
