davinci resolve lite for pc keeps crashing after import

[Dwaine Maggart]

Recommended cards are in the Windows Resolve Config guide. Quadro 4000, 5000 and 6000, along with GTX-580 are currently in the guide.

Thank you very much for your help, Dwaine.

Antonis,
I have tried using Resolve Lite on my win7 PC with a GTX470, but no luck.
It seems like Resolve supports only specific NVIDIA Cuda-enabled GPUs… It’s a bummer.
I wonder if there is a workaround to this problem.
Anybody can help?
Is there any info about future versions that will enable more GPUs?

Thanx

Demetris, I have a Win7 system with a GTX470 and the Resolve lite beta is working for me. Maybe you should update you drivers.

What I’m trying to figure out is what types of codecs does this program read. It seems to not support a lot of codecs. I’m trying to see what would be the best codec I can use without losing information in my video so I could import it to Resolve and CC.

Dan, do you have only one graphic card (GTX470) in your pc or one graphic card for UI and one for GPU? Can you tell me more about Resolve’s performance with GTX470? Thank you in advance! p.s.: I think that the codec you are looking for is DNxHD (AVID codec).

[Dan Kirklin]

I’m using only one 470GTX (Gigabyte, if that matters). The performance is good, but I also have 6-cores and 24GB RAM. I’ve only tested up to 1920X1080 4:2:2 files. Didn’t have the chance to try 3K or anything above. Everything runs real time, or close enough without slowing you down. The only thing that seems to be a bit slow is the mask-tracking, which isn’t much of an issue, it’s about the same speed as Camera-Tracker plug-in for After Effects.

As for the codec, DNxHD works in MXF wrapping, not in MOV. So for Avid Projects I’m good, now I need to figure out what’s best for exporting from After Effects. (Tried Cineform, which also doesn’t work)
I have run into a weird bug; I search through a folder for footage, which doesn’t show up, then search through another folder and nothing shows up there as well. However, when I don’t search through that specific folder first, everything else shows up fine. Very weird.
Any ideas?

[Demetris Diakoumopoulos]

Dan you’re right!
I’ve just updated the drivers and Resolve is not crashing anymore… However, I do…
Now I have to figure out how it works…

Massive thanx Dan, I wish you a happy new year.

This may help you get started, even though it’s a mac tutorial:

Just a quick follow-up question on this thread: For those of you who are editing with Avid and have updated your graphics drivers to enable Resolve, are you still running an Avid-supported driver version? If not, have you run into problems?

(I guess this assumes you’re editing and color-correcting on the same machine.)

Thanks,

Hello Dwaine, works Resolve with Quadro CX?

Thank you
