Lines and blocky noise added in renders

[Fernando Garcia]

Could be a known issue with the cylinder … that only happens with in Resolve. Exported edition xml to FCPX does not happen to have those lines when sharing master. I´m sorry to say it, but after trying hard to work with BMDR, as it is in some aspects a better tool, with a superb colouring, improved editing, composing and audio all in one ,cons are so important (there are quite a few if you ask me) that I can not work with.

in my experience , no. Could be a known issue with the cylinder … that only happens with in Resolve. Exported edition xml to FCPX does not happen to have those lines when sharing master.

Although note there are Premiere people out there on the web who have chimed in that they, too, are seeing render glitches from the 2013 Mac Pros. In fairness to Apple, the GPUs are malfunctioning and overheating; in fairness to AMD (who makes the GPU), I don’t think they ever intended their chips to not get enough ventilation in a small enclosure like the Trashcan Macs. It’s not a Resolve problem per se.

Thank you to all for the precious input in this thread. We are still using a cylinder 2013 MacPro, which has mostly served us well. Given the current situation, it is not time for us to invest in the very powerfull, upgradeable and expensive new MacPro, so we’re trying to get everything out of this one that we can.
We are currently working on a 4K feature, with a lots of noise and grain treatment, this has definilty pushed this machine to its limits and we have been having a lot of glitches (colors lines) appearing in the exports.
Agter reading this thread, I have installed iStat Menus and set the fans to 100%, I have set the rendering in Resolve to 50% and deactivate one of the D700 cards and it seems my latest render has no glitches (still looking though it), and suprisingly the export didn’t take longer than with the previous settings, 7 hours never the less…
So thanks again, to Creative Cow also, for keeping threads such as this one readily available.
Cheers
