User stories
Why don’t we share user stories and cheerful client experiences using DaVinci?
I had a guy from a production company just down the street coming in today to get a glimpse of what I could do with DaVinci, my workflow and how things are done.
After showing him some tracking, before/after on a few projects, he asked me if I could play 4K RED RAW. So I opened a project with what he was looking for. He didn’t mind real time proxy mode and quarter res.. As long as it would play in real time.
The only thing he missed was what he’d seen at some other company with Mistika. They replaced a few posters in a pan and zoom etc.. That’s about the only thing I can’t do directly in DaVinci. He’s happy there’s a DaVinci guy around the corner!

I dimly recall showing a quick “85” day balance on a daVinci about 14 years ago and the client exclaimed that it was “f****g magic!!!!”.
I’d see it as a problem, though, if all that a client was interested in was the software on offer.

How could you use resolve on a smoke on mac. Smoke uses Kona cards and one gpu. Resolve wont work with kona, and smoke won’t boot with two gpu’s in it.

Hi Nick, you don’t get the monitor output but for demo’s it works fine on a machine with a single 4800 quadro and they had a fiber connection to a SAN. But, as I wrote, they ordered a separate machine for Resolve now.

Just had a session scheduled for 11 o’ clock. One hour later we’ve graded a 3 minute short film and started rendering.
Client goes “I have never done a grading session with a colorist before. It went so fast!”
I say “I blaim DaVinci for real-time performance”
Client “Da what? The hardware on your table?”
Me “Yeah, that too”.
