Resolve 8.0.1 and Resolve Lite available now

“the second thing i miss is the ability to drag a grade from one shot and apply it to another similar shot”

There are many ways to do this, but here are a couple of ways:

1. Grab a still from the scene you want to copy the grade from. Now, go to the scene, and right-click and “Add Correction” from the still, or just middle click on the still. If you have a 3-button mouse. You can control if you want to copy only the Color/Sizing or both. You can also copy specific nodes, by using the “Display Node Graph” function, and then dragging specific nodes. (See manual for more details)

2. On the timeline, you can just middle-click on the shot you want to copy the grade from.

Hope this helps!

The screen resize using terminal doesn’t work anymore. Anybody figured out the new workaround yet?

I am particularly concerned about this last point related to the notion that Davinci doesn’t like screen sizes which are less than 1920. I have an FSI grading monitor, the 1770W – which is a grade 1 monitor but less than 1920 in size. If this is not acceptable then I am certainly going to have to rethink Davinci. Too many hardware requirements without having to now purchase a 24″ FSI as well. Does anyone know if the new Resolve is compatible with the FSI 1770?

Unless I am mistaken it is the GUI monitor that needs to be high resolution, not the grading monitor.

Went to the website today and was able to download it. Going to take a look at it over the weekend.

That is correct..the GU monitor needs to be 1920 x 1080 or higher.

For the video monitor, it would ideally display 1920 x 1080 natively but if it’s a smaller size monitor that don’t support 1920 x 1080 video resolution, it will still work as the monitor will do the scaling.

I’ve had the same experience. I’ve tried installing it on my underpowered Mac Pro 2,1 with a 4870 card, 24 gbs of RAM. It definitely wouldn’t work (i wasn’t surprised.) I figured it was the graphics card.

But then I installed it on my MBP 17″ with dual Nvidia cards and 8 gbs of RAM and the same crash when trying to create a project happens. I even set the energy management to Faster (instead of More Battery Life) as instructed by Davinci. The MBP meets Davinci’s specs, so I’m not sure what’s happening..

Hi Paul,

Which OS are you running? It you are using OSX 10.6.8, you need to update to CUDA 4.0.19 from NVIDIA’s website.

If this doesn’t help, could you please capture logs and send it to our support email – davincihelp (at) blackmagic-design.com

You can capture logs using the following app:

/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/CaptureLogs.app

Thanks,
