Poll… How many crashes per day?

[Nat Jencks]

Sasha, agreed that on any platform working with R3D can be more buggy than plain vanilla DPX or a quicktime codec like prores, however, the level of instability I’m seeing can’t be normal even for R3D.

This system has a rocket card and multiple GPUs.

This has been mentioned before, but I’ll mention it again. The Resolve compatible version of the DeckLink driver is currently different from the main DeckLink driver release. I realize some people talking about using the latest driver are on Hackintosh systems, and maybe in that scenario, the latest release driver works better. I don’t know. But in a Mac environment, you need to use the DeckLink driver that comes packaged with the Resolve dmg file, and that is currently version 7.9.2.

If it crashes too often it’s best to capture the log and email it to DaVinci support and see what’s going on.

If too erratic then maybe a fresh install may be warranted.

Hi, it sounds like you have all your r3d clips in the medial pool at the same time, which could be hundreds of clips, and basically you are running out of memory as Resolve needs to keep a referene to everything in the media pool, even if it’s not in the active session. Remember everything in the medial pool becomes part of the master timeline.

Try putting in the material you need for the session you are grading, normally it’s 20-30 min reels. Its also good practice to use half res premuim if you have a red rocket, and hd timeline during the grade, and switch to the render settings you need for the final render of each reel. Resolve will automatically link the color grades, window positions and sizes etc to the new resolution for the render.
