That did it! Thank you!

For me it’s insane that still the ProTools version has no 5.1 mixing capabilities, and for that you have to go to HD and pay a high premium, while any video program now does it as an afterthought. It’s certainly not a hardware issue. They need to come back to 2015 instead of getting lost in the cloud

You may want to contact Blackmagic, or another reseller, we bought ours new one for less than that

I think a better approach would be to use the Baselight plugin for Media Composer for color grading than using Resolve in this situation.

I was thinking the same thing, what I would love more than anything, is actually use an iMac 5K and be able to use it as target display with a HP Z820, I know it should work on thunderbolt with a Mac, but with a PC running thunderbolt doesn’t seem likely, it would a be a killer setup though.

I have problems with the Decklink Extreme 3D as well, it seems to “disappear”, but that was happening even before Resolve 11, so I don’t know if it’s an OS thing, usually sometimes a PRAM reset solves the issue, or just exchanging the card to another slot seems to refresh the OS, check your System Report to see if it’s listed under PCI cards, in my case it’s gone.
It seems like it stared when I installed a CalDigit USB 3 card, but I don’t know if that’s the reason, did you add a new PCI card?

When I talk to Blackmagic they said that the card must be going bad, but in my experience once a card has gone bad that’s it, this doesn’t seem to be the case.

Doesn’t look like a character replacement to me, it’s the same guy

Check liftgammagain.com, it has been talked extensive over there

Ideally they should compete about talent, however, Bkackmagic allowed color grading to become commoditized, so now lots of post houses, big and medium sized, are competing with price, and talent only considered as a secondary factor. This is how I noticed clients are approaching it lately.
Also, big companies are coming down in pricing competing with new boutiques, as a result the mid post market is going, if it’s not already getting squezed with the lower end. So it seems, like in this society, the “middle” is going away.

The issue with ProRes on Windows is a bit more complicated than it seems from the previous posts.
There are solutions, like Miraizon, to output ProRes files, but it’s very slow, and it’s their OWN version of ProRes, not Apple’s ProRes, and while this may be argued as a not big of a deal, for some is. If you try to import those in FCP7 you may get the message that this file is not optimized for playback and need to be rendered, also, some broadcast deliverables when they ask for ProRes files, they’re really asking for Apple ProRes files, not a third party version of ProRes, and this can be cause for further rejections, not to mention a bit of embarrasment when explaining to your client why you failed to deliver.

I read in one of these forums that to get your movie on iTunes, it needs to be AppleProRes, not only that, it seems they have a way to check if it was created on anothe non-propriatory ProRes before it was converted to their own version, but I never saw anything like this in the real world, so it may be just rumors.

The announcement of Scratch offering “Native Apple ProRes” it’s a big dal, because it offers “true” Apple ProRes encoding on Windows, and unless I’m wrong, it’s the first one.
