problem opening Resolve Lite
Well, not exactly a problem opening, but a problem using.
I’m on a 2 year old macpro OS 10.6.6. No nvidia card, but I don’t need real monitoring for the moment. I’m just trying to learn the app.
As the program opens, I get warnings about lack of OpenCL hardware and driver. I skip through this and the program opens. I can move through the tabs, change prefs, etc.
However, when I click on any clip in the “clip details” window, the program instantly crashes, and I cannot add anything to my media pool.
I must be doing something fundamentally wrong. Or is impossible to run the program without OpenCL? I thought it was possible, just not ideal.
Thanks in advance.

It is impossible to run Resolve without a card that supports openCL OR CUDA under OS X. What graphics card is in your Mac?

Thanks for helping.
My card is an ATI x1900. Am I out of luck?

Yes.
As you’ve noted, you can open Resolve without such a card, but as soon as you try to do anything with media, it crashes. So if all you wanted to see was the GUI layout, you could do that, but if you actually want to load a clip and do something with it, that won’t work without a supported card.
On the Blackmagic Design web site, in the Support area, under Mac OS X Resolve and Resolve Lite areas, is our Mac Resolve Config guide which provides details on supported hardware for Resolve on Mac.
If you have a GT120 card available, you could replace the 1900 card with that and have a working system.

Oh well…
Yeah, I’ll have to look into upgrading my card. I need 2 dvi ports, though.
I’ll look into some of the cards on the recommended list.
I appreciate the quick replies.

Our GT120 is not for sale. You can get one at the Apple Store for $150. There appear to be some on Ebay as well.

Well, you are lucky then.
Just go to ebay and buy yourself the (modded) 470, or the old (EVGA) 285.
Both provide two DVI outs.
Lion loves the 470, Snow is a bit more tricky but works too.
If U use this card only you are still faster than a Q4000 for half the price.A slice of color…

Hi,
can you use the Ati 1900 for the GUI and put an extra Ndvidia in for cuda? Would this work (well)?

Only a Quadro 4000 because the Ati 1900 uses one power cord , and its probably also double high.
Ditch it and get a GTX 470 ( am I repeating myself here ? 😉A slice of color…
