[Joseph Murray] “does one just buy a 470 or 480 and install?”

Definitely not. A stock 470/480 won’t work in a Mac environment unless it is flashed with the appropriate firmware.

[Joseph Murray] “some people are using a GTX470. Opinions?”

I’m going to take a swing at building a cubix x16 expander with GTX480s flashed by MacVidCards. So far, so good– I at least have system recognition and my MacPro is seeing the ATI5770 and the two 480’s.

Next, tearing out the Kona3 card… Lately, it has become very crashy with Final Cut7 and the Konal plugin is always fingered as the culprit.

[Matthias Kraus] “i think the problem is that everything is made out of one clip.”

That’s correct. The red bar indicates continuity of the grade being applied across the clip.

Check the manual for “local versions” to apply different grades to each notched event.

[Frank Maier] “Only format looking correct is the QT Uncompressed RGB 4:2:2
Any clue why it is doing wrong the rendering?”

This may be because you aren’t flagging the correct RGB full scale / Linear Video rendering, or tagging the input video correctly.

When you mention “washed out”, I see this sometimes if this has been mishandled somewhere — the full range 0-1023 is being mapped to 94-940, so your blacks are no longer black, white never makes it past about 90 IRE, tops, and the gamma is, of course completely hooped.

DNxHD (Quicktime) is not supported. DNxHD is supported in an AVID MXF wrapper only.

TRaining? Why? No, seriously. Isn’t it supposed to be so transparent and seamlessly intuitive that you should simply be able to sit down and “just work”? Isn’t this inevitably leading to a whole new tier of elitist whining snobs?

Especially because it’s so “tough”? Give me a break.

Some codecs are incompatible with Resolve and the workaround for that, if it is determined to be the problem , is to recompress the media.

Generally software uprez isn’t well-regarded anywhere, and most broadcasters recommend that hardware solutions be explored first.

De-interlacing is touchy, I did a bunch of 2997i conversions to 2398P yesterday in SHAKE. Pretty nice, when I set the Motion interpolation to BEST. However, it did take about 5 minutes to render out 36 frames.
BEST took out all the inter-field motion blur, and the (hockey) footage took on a high-shutter-angle film look after that.

[Corey Martinez] “Is it possible to import mattes into Davinci? Is it even possible to import a matte with multiple channels? RGBA.”

Yes. Page 210.
