Davinci Resolve Lite – Screen Scale Factor

Posted by Ray Tragesser on October 26, 2011 at 12:12 am

Hi All,

Looking to get more reps in on Resolve Lite. Attempting to run on Macbook Air 13″ and of course its not working due to the oversize interface. I read a while back about some scaling commands from the terminal window. I tried those and it didnt seem to work on Lion 10.7.2

Is there a way to make this a viable training tool? Anyone know how to scale the interface in Lion?

Hopeful,
Ray

Resolve lite even the latest 8.1 still needs this screen command to operate correctly on a MacBook Pro 15″

But the manual for Resolve 8.1 says…
Support for Early 2011 MacBook Pro 15” with 1680×1050 display

I have a 2011 MacBookPro8,2 but my screen is 1440×900. So does Resolve Lite support it?
Or, is the full version of Resolve optimized for the MBP 15″. Anyone running Resolve (lite or full) on a MacBook Pro 15″ at 1440×900 with out the command…

defaults write com.blackmagic-design.davinci.Resolve AppleDisplayScaleFactor 0.85

Hi Neil,

You would need a 1680×1050 screen. This is an option on the 2011 Macbook Pro.

Rohit

Thanks Rohit.

I’m using the Terminal command method. But that makes windows sizing do funny things.
I guess the only option is to use a MacPro, an iMac or a Cinema display with my MacBook Pro.

But the 2011 15″ MacBook Pro performs surprisingly well with Resolve, in fact better (faster renders) than a older MacPro.

A bit off-topic, but is Resolve 8 so well optimized for existing Radeon GPUs? Are Cuda GPUs better? Exactly where does a FX 4000 or GTX xxx really kick in?
