Hey everyone. Hopefully this post is still on-topic with this forum. If not, please let me know and I’ll remove it.

I’m seeking advice on a dilemma we’re facing with a newly constructed production studio. Without being too specific, the project is in Norway and is/was managed by a government/military contractor, and built for a non-profit…

If it’s an iMac then you won’t be installing any capture card as it’s impossible to access the internals.

And because it’s a Mac you’ll have to find an external interface solution if your direct cable solution isn’t working. I’ve had some success with the Elgato Analog capture device in the past (https://www.elgato.com/en/video-capture) but that…

I think the reason it’s subjective is because everyone edits differently and it would entirely depend on your editing methods and practices as to whether or not it’s a bottleneck for you and your process.

Are you editing uncompressed R3D and ProRes 4444XQ? Then absolutely it’s going to be a bottleneck, as would almost any current setup.

As Bret Hampton pointed out there’s a lot that we don’t know about your system that could point to a possible solution.

You also have to be aware of your need for older versions (project compatibility, stability, plugin compatibility etc.), but for the most recent older versions these can still be installed via the Creative Cloud app. This is only…

I’m making the assumption that your concern is just being able to identify the clips at the OS level. If so, I would suggest you import all…

I realize I’m necroing an old thread here, but this is now possible within Resolve. Use shift to drag a box around the nodes you wish to move and then you can move them as a group.

I would first verify that it’s actually staying on Hardware Accelerated. I had this same issue and noticed that if I switched from VBR 1-Pass to VBR 2-Pass it would default back to Software Encoding, but if I left it at 1-Pass it would default back to Hardware Encoding.

I’m not sure why 2-Pass makes a difference (perhaps some of the more…

A quick google search will net you some results if you know what to look for.

As another option, you could try what this gentleman did. https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro/adobe-encore-cs6-download/td-p/10628904?page=1

If I had a legit serial number, as you say you do, and were only missing the software, I would just find wherever I could to download the installation files and then use my own serial.

I’ve noticed that the hardware acceleration is disabled if I use 2-pass VBR (not sure why though). Is it possible this is one of the two variants you’re using?
