I think you missed my problem: the render crashes about halfway through, and because of the crash, the XML points back to source clips.
I just tried rendering again last night, crashed about 6 hours in to a 9 hour render (not on the same shots, though I did check around that area to see if anything I was doing in a node would cause the crash). Restarted resolve, exported an eml, and it points to the earlier render, not last nights render.
It basically means I need the whole 9 hour render to work right in order to get a clean XML.
I suspect the crashes aren’t Resolve’s fault (it’s a retina macbook pro, and I’ve had to take it to Applecare 3 times for new logicboards because of graphics issues), but it’s still a bummer that there’s no way to get an xml for a render if the render crashes partway through.
Something like an XML that generates along with the renders, so if the render crashes you still have part of the xml, would be great.

You might be confused since if you go to “about this mac” on the retina mbp it says “iris graphics”. Look in your system profile and you should see that you have both Intel and nvidia, I think the gt750m. I don’t remember what tab but something like display or graphics.

I have been grading on my retina macbook pro with Resolve 11 Lite on Yosemite and it’s been very stable, no complaints at all, no CUDA errors, latest driver.
However, the WiFi quality on the laptops dropped off noticeably with Yosemite, but apparently that’s a known bug that folks are hoping will be fixed with the updated that came out today.

Some of the houses where I freelance use Tvips to connect SDI over internet to remote clients.

Lite has some restrictions on export settings, so I suspect that is one of them. In fact, 1080 is supposed to be the most you can export from Lite, even if you are working from 4k footage.
Might be time to upgrade to the dongle.

Is this a Retina? If so, you probably aren’t using the Intel GFX for the render, the intel card is probably being used for the GUI, and you are using the Nvidia card (I think it’s the 750M) for the render.
If it is the 15″ retina macbook pro, I have graded two features on one, countless shorts, web spots, music videos, and taught demo’s on it. So, they definitely don’t all kick out green frames.
My graphics card recently went back and Applecare replaced the whole logic board. If it’s still under applecare might be worth having the genius bar run their diagnostic tests to see what’s happening.

My suspicion, and I bet I’m not alone in this, is that in 3-4 years time Resolve and Fusion will be a single product.
From camera download/on set grading through DCP delivery, one piece of software, no more round trips, no more worry about superwhite/colorspace changes, just 5 buttons across the bottom (media, edit, color, fx, deliver). networked for facility use, so the FX folks can work on shots in the same timeline as you are grading in the color suite.
Blackmagic makes a killing off all the hardware we buy to make it work, giving the lite version away from free, and some extra revenue from a few pro seats here or there.

“export missing shot EDL” never works fo rme: I browse to the folder where I went to put the EDL and nothing is ever there.
Oh, and one more thing: I would love if the little red box above a clip that indicates that there are multiple instance of that shot in the timeline would have a fraction indicating which instance it is: like, 1/5, telling you it’s the first of 5 times the shot appears, or something.
Would be SUPER useful when 3 shots are next to each other in a group but one is far off in the timeline and you might forget that it’s getting tweaked by changes as well.

While it’s on my mind, I would also love if I could say the “shots that didn’t link” list as a spreadsheet or .txt file. Right now you’ve got to screencap it, which isn’t as efficient as being able to open it up in a spreadsheet or hand off a file to the assistant editor to work on.

If you’re working with remote grades, does it not work to right click on the clip you want to zoom in on, “create a new version” (I usually name this version something like “zoom1” then do your zooming?
That generally works for me.
