Resolve lite keeps crashing

Posted by Samir Kassab on July 28, 2011 at 3:39 pm

Hi guys
I’m switching from color to Resolve.installed the lite version for training..

Resolve lite crashes whenever I try to load an XML or create a new project after displaying the progress bar for a couple of seconds.

Help please!

If you want help then specify system specs.

Hi, I expect that model MacBookPro will work with a low resolution image. Can you please contact
davincihelp@blackmagic-design.com and let them know details of your problem via the log file. They can help you grab it.

Hi Samir,

What OSX version are you using?

If you are using OSX 10.6.8/10.7.0 (Lion), you will need to update CUDA to 4.0.19/4.0.21 from the NVIDIA website.

If this doesn’t help please send us logs, and we will take a look. You can capture the logs using the following application:

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

Regards,
Rohit

Finally I got Resolve lite finally up and running , I don’t know what exactly fixed it’ but here is what I did :

-Removed Resolve
-Removed all blackmagic softwares
– Verified and repaired disk permission
-Set the performance to the maximum, disabled all of the energy saving options in the preferences
– Re- installed Resolve
-That’s it

Now I can go through the manual page by page and learn all about this mythical piece of software

Thanks to all of you guys

Hi Samir,

This step : “disabled all of the energy saving options in the preferences”

Is what would have fixed it. Resolve needs to use the bigger graphics card for processing and when you disable the energy saving options it would enable the larger card full time.

I’m glad its working and hope you enjoy it!

System: MacPro Quad Core
Nvidia GT 120
8gb Ram
2 HP LP2275w monitors

Upon launch I keep getting Critical Exception : BtException: Driver not loaded Driver not loaded…

Any idea what’s happening…

Also the Program Window spans my two monitors but only stretches on to the other monitor ..
how can i get it to size correctly to just the one screen.

I’m getting the same error. Any help would be appreciated. I’m on a Hackintosh so my problem might stem from that, but I’ll try any fixes suggested. I can post logs too.
