Resolve on a iMac27″ ATI 4850

Um.. well.. didn’t “they” say that when Color was known to be part of FCS too? I started my color grading career because of Color. I knew Final Touch existed, but I simply couldn’t pay the price.

When Color came with FCS, I ordered an upgrade right away and got going with it. As things developed, I started offering color grading as another of my services, and ever since, I’ve been busy with different kind of projects. I don’t think the DP or director is too interested in doing it themselves.

ONE time have I been struck by the “You’re too expensive, so I’ll do it myself”, but then again, he was the director, producer, DP, editor.. everything.. Not a team player.

I’m taking a Resolve class right now. Have you ever seen the modern Resolve interface in action? Judging by how many people couldn’t handle Color’s interface and learning curve, I don’t think we’re going to see “everyone” doing it themselves any time soon. Just reading the manual on the BM site makes this pretty clear.

Hi.

Really good point.

Some people must stick to eazy plugins 😉

Two items to review here;
1) Resolve uses CUDA for image processing, and a few other smart engineering processed as well so the Nvidia GPU’s are the current requirement. It will run on a MBP as demonstrated at NAB FCPUG (slowly of course as there is limited hardware in the MBP). Select the 17″ so you get the 1920×1200 display, or of course the MacPro for realtime multi node operation with defocus and optical quality resize. Formal specs for both will be released in June.
2) There is an updated user guide in the works which will discuss all the new GUI and features. I expect the learning curve to be significantly easier when you get your hands on this guide.

Hey Sasha,

I’ve tried to install Davinci on my iMac 27″ and it didn’t work for me. The application just kept crashing with almost everything I did. So finally, you have a real answer to your very simple question!

I was also looking for a way to see and play with the interface, I don’t understand why people worry so much about that.

Good luck!
