you might want to adjust the application specific screen size factor to see the full GUI on your small screen. Open the terminal and enter:
- MacBook Pro 15″: defaults write com.blackmagic-design.davinci.Resolve AppleDisplayScaleFactor 0.85
- MacBook Pro 13″: defaults write com.blackmagic-design.davinci.Resolve AppleDisplayScaleFactor 0.67
Resolve on a MBP is no fun, but works. I used the Lite version on my MBP just for testing things while reading the manual when I’m on the road.
Try the Lite version. Resolve Lite requires the same amount of processing power as long as you compare it to a 1 GPU system using 2 nodes.
