DaVinci Resolve 9 Released

[Rohit Gupta] “If you want to run V8 and V9 alongside, just make sure you don’t upgrade the V8 database when prompted after you install V9. Create a new DB for V9, and use it. If you want to go back to V8, just re-install V8, and it will work off the V8 database.”
My 2009 iMac with AMD Radeon 4850 GPU doesn’t quite satisfy the requirements of Resolve I understand. However it did run version 8.x Lite but not in real time – fair enough. However every attempt with Resolve 9.0b1 causes the iMac (Mountain Lion, 16 GB RAM) to crash to machine. I did create a new database so I thought I’ll go back to verify 8.2.2 works under Mountain Lion with my version 8 database. Reinstalled 8.2.2.
But 8.2.2 Lite won’t load saying I’m not licensed and abruptly quitting without letting me proceed in any way. Never had a licensing issue before with the Lite. Caught between a rock and a hard place. Ideal solution is to buy a new iMac but need to wait until 2013.

However every attempt with Resolve 9.0b1 causes the iMac (Mountain Lion, 16 GB RAM, proper CUDA driver installed, nothing else using my precious GPU memory) to crash my machine as soon as I try to add media (sometimes I get to play the media briefly, other times immediately on touching the media, it crashes the machine. I can skim media fine. I did create a new database so I thought I’ll go back to verify 8.2.2 works under Mountain Lion with my version 8 database. Reinstalled 8.2.2.

One problem solved: I downloaded 8.2.2 from BMD website rather than taking the version from my old Downloads folder on the iMac. 8.2.2 works fine for me once again. Nice if 9.0 would do the same so I can get ready for processing files from the Blackmagic Cinema Camera (2013).

jPo,
Are you still running R9 on Snow Leopard without any issues? I am hesitant to go to Lion for fear of screwing up FCP. I really want to upgrade to Resolve 9, however….

Does Resolve 9 lite require a CUDA card? I purchased a new iMac and it has the nVidia GTX680MX in it.. so that’s cool. But my present machine has an AMD 6970.. Resolve is running for the most part but it does get funky on masking.

Yes, you have good CUDA capability in that new iMac. Congratulations.
