Rob’s solution was the one that worked when using a Mac laptop. Thanks for posting, I had tried it with Davinci running, but hadn’t tried quitting Davinci and restarting with the large monitor as the primary. That worked. I switch between Premiere and Davinci quite a bit, especially because I haven’t yet figured out a smooth workflow to round-trip projects.

Don’t know if they are watching these (and I’m not one to complain about free, awesome software) but I’d love the ability to arrange across multiple monitors. I’m not a pro colorist, I use the lite version of the software, so I’m not exactly their target audience. I like Davinci, and it runs quite well on the retina Macbook pro.

I have noticed that about half the time it won’t start properly. After login Davinci abruptly quits. A restart usually fixes the problem. Any advice on this and a round-trip workflow from Premiere would be appreciated. (I’ve tried exporting FCP XML, and the timing seems to be inconsistent)

Thanks for the reply. I went back to DaVinci, re-rendered the footage at 23.97 and that fixed it.

I agree, the workflow is pretty kludgey, but I need the audio for sync on the front end, and there’s no good way to go from the finished sequence into DaVinci, because it won’t take multicam/nested sequences.

Thanks again…

Unfortunately, I’ve had experiences that appear to prove otherwise. Yesterday, shooting 7D on Sandisk Extreme Pro 90mb/s 16 gig card, I had 3 out of 5 MOV files corrupted.

This is the second shoot I’ve had this happen on (different cards). Last one was Sandisk Extreme, 60mb/s 16 gig card. I’ve read online that other brands are experiencing the same thing.

Obviously this is very disappointing. If anyone hears anything about how to avoid this in the future, please post it here.

Thanks
