    [Dan James] “anyway to fix this”

    Its usually a function of overloading the media pool. You have to remember that Resolve is looking at the entire source clip for every event on the timeline, but only showing you the in/out on the cut sequence.

    You mean “Old Ben”? Ben Kenobi?

    Did you update to OSX 10.7.4?

    The GPU memory error means you are out of GPU RAM – too large image resolution, or too complex a node graph, etc. it is also triggered when there is a GPU code incompatibility with the driver like the recent OSX 10.7.4 update for ATI cards. We have a beta2 posted which is a partial fix, and we have a newer update coming soon.

    Yeap I guess that would be why, I updated to OSX 10.7.4 this morning

    How long does Black Magic take with incorporating little updates such as the one we are speaking of?

    and what is the beta2 update you mentioned? I’m relatively new to these forums & Davinci
