Apple Color was never really a real time app and Speedgrade is using different technology, so comparing Apple to Resolve is like comparing apples to… well you know:-)

I see, thanks for the clarification Rohit. I don’t see that as a problem, as personally, I never use cursors on the video display. Clients always complain about it. BTW, did the shortcut Shift/Cmd/C for turning the windows on/off on the video output had been taken out? I remember it used to work before, but at some point it stopped and now it is necessary to chose it from the menu.

Does anyone uses caching on Resolve? I can’t imagine anyone suffering though that…

If all four panels are used, then Element is about twice as wide as Eclipse. Another reason why I chose MC Color over the Element.

Speaking of ‘use optimized playback’. Can someone tell me why anyone would want an un-optimized playback?

I know, this is the DaVinci forum, but what you’d described is called Baselight Editions:-)

Great idea. But, as usual, Resolve requires some ingenuity to do simple tasks, instead of offering it as a core capability. I’m talking about an inability to copy and paste grades INCLUDING tracking data. This way when you save the grade into the memory and then recalling it doesn’t lose that information. Obviously, the mechanism for such copy and paste already exists, as demonstrated by Dan. Why not just slow down with all this incessant Resolve updating with meaningless “General stability improvements” and work on some core Resolve usability, like above mentioned “snap to” or better yet, user mapping of various panels? I just returned Element panels back and re-installed my old MC Color. Element hardware is almost perfect, but the Resolve mapping of the panel was less useful, than expected and no control release of panel by Resolve, even when not running is plain weird.

Dwaine and Mark team is legendary. I lost track of the number of times they showed up in the middle of the night at our facility and wouldn’t leave until the problem was solved. Today they continue to set the support standard in the industry.

That’s funny. On every forum there are people who are cheerleaders of the given software no matter what. I realize, that there are some people, that prefer to live on the edge with the latest versions. I’m not.
So, let’s see now. Since Oct 2012 there were five updates for Resolve with no less than a decimal number increase from 9.0 to 9.1, which for software is a big deal.
Let’s compare this to the Baselight, shall we? Baselight had been running 4.3 for well over a year, may be even two with the 4.4 decimal increase slated for the summer. So, less than four months compared to close to a year and a half or two. Nope, not even close. And while we’re at it, if you ever have a chance, please read the Read Me files, that come with every Baselight update. Even the smallest changes are always reflected in it. That’s in contrast to the usual “General stability” improvements in read Me file for Resolve. And oh yeah, one more thing. You are guaranteed, that any project created by any version of Baselight are to open by the latest version of Baselight. Do not try to do this with Resolve even with V9 vs V8.
As far as not updating, you completely missed my earlier post about why I prefer NOT to update the software this often. As i said, I’m FORCED to have multiple Mac partitions in order to run multiple versions of Resolve for my remote clients. Thanks for careful reading… -
I just did. Resolve get’s rid of the image, which is good, but now, how do I gesturally manipulate windows in this mode without using the panel and more important, how do I draw the freehand shape? Do I switch back to the regular “display mode”? Doesn’t switching back to that mode defeats the point of this discussion? I’d prefer in “toggled display mode” for everything to stay the same, with the space, where the video were instead to be occupied by scopes. As you can see in the picture, in the “toggled display mode” the nodes jump to the left and the right side becomes a very big horizontal area for the stills, which still doesn’t allow for the scopes, because they would always cover some stills. In this mode Resolve doesn’t release additional window real estate. Now it’s gobbled up with much bigger stills window. “Toggled display mode” is a good idea and it can work, but right now it doesn’t. The stills window needs to be resizable. Couldn’t we just get a bit more freedom on the windows position and the sizing? Right now I find GUI layout a bit too restrictive.
