[Michael McCune] “Will a dynamic keyframe that is, say, one minute from the start interpolate *back* to the first frame, which would not have a keyframe of any kind???.
“No, a grade interpolation or geometric movement will only interpolate following a dynamic and will migrate to a setting defined by a static or other dynamic keyframe.The dynamically governed area is defined by the transition icon that will exist between these types of keyframes. The first frame of a clip is technically a static keyframe, which in plain language really means, “hold this correction from this point until you get another instruction.” If its a dynamic type, then it will search for a destination setting and start evolving.

I don’t really understand front-loading the node tree since you can always add another node prior to current, anytime.
Mainly the beef that most users who run into complex, organic power-shapes voice is that it is difficult to corral the vertices that would benefit from being moving en masse, whereas at the moment we have to peck away at them one by one. It is also not really possible to “lock” onto a particular shape (unless you turn an overlapping shape ‘off’, which has keyframe consequences) so that you are not unintentionally dragging vertices from an overlapping shape. Thirdly, its annoying to scrape away at edges only to move boundaries, so that you don’t really know what you’re going to drag once you execute an instruction. Nearly every other roto tool on the market allows hierarchical and parental control over shapes, vertices, edges, and track assignment while allowing a lasso tool to define grouped manipulation within the *selected* shape.

Sometimes the error message has nothing to do with the situation and the application is sjmply making a best guess. You will get this notification if you have run out of space on the disk, as well.

[Michael Gissing] “What it does represent is the possibility of democratising grading”
Ughh…how I detest the use of the d-word in this context. Has nothing to do with any kind of consensual market participatory direction. “Popularization” is the term I am personally trying to pitch to those who want a term to characterize the disruption and dilution of a former business model that required a combination of financial and experiential investment.
Like everyone suddenly being cosmologists who think they can theorize about black hole theory and the fundamental structure of the universe because they’ve seen a sci-fi movie.

My understanding is that you are not using the Resolve station as a remote desktop to a more powerful system, but that the two connected systems have to be identical. So if you don’t have a processing GPU in your laptop, it might not work the way you expect.

[John Sackey] “Making it sound like the driver causing a kernel panic.
Has anyone come across this problem when setting up their Cubix?”
Yes, I went through this a year ago.
What card do you have in Slot 01? Hope its an ATI/AMD (5770 or other)…
Cubix is in Slot02… correct?
Neither Titan is being used with a display — only the Slot01 GPU can be used as UI and connected to monitors.
Which version of OS? I am running a plain-vanilla Titan with Mountain Lion in an off-site studio, but when I jumped to Titan Blacks for my main system, I needed to jump to Yosemite. This also limits the number of nVidia GPUs you can run in a system to two (2).
You will not be able to poll your PCIe buss with this configuration.

[Eric Weiner] “My instinct is to simply get a bunch of 50 – 55 inch Vizio E class monitors for like $500 a pop and get them to all have the same settings. What do you guys use, or suggest. Do we have to spring for the Flanders Scientific monitors?”
The “$500 a pop” also has to factor in your investment in a calibration system that will be able to cope with consumer monitors, which are fairly resistant to critical alignment and cannot in most cases make the same colours as a grade-rated display. You will likely also have to invest in a LUT-box that will modify the signal stream specifically for the client display and/or a converter of some kind as some consumer devices will not not support all production standards. You might actually have to consider at least a Teranex Mini.
It will cost about $2500 to completely outfit a CalMan C6 spectrophotometer and software (not just the Studio Lite version as you will quickly find out that it will be inadequate for your various technical resources) and a couple of days to sort out how to use it, then a couple more to convince yourself that what it is doing is correct. Then your clients will still question everything about it.
Currently running an LG 55″ UHD through an HDLinkPro, that after a week of tweaking is just about there. Working in anther studio that has a big 65″ Samsung that is *very* flattering to the picture, but is *ahem* not totally accurate, either.
And you will require 4K sooner than you think.
Like… the day after you say… aww, we’ll never have to deal with that….

Might be your graphics platform. Resolve has problems with — doesn’t support — built-in Intel chipsets —
support for some IrisPro graphics does exist now that I review the new config guide, so it would be worth checking compatibility… or consider R12PublicBetaOne ::winkie:: Often I wonder about opto-spatial processes and Long-GOP/RAW codecs as being a massive massive strain on CPU resources — cacheing these might help with final renders….?

[Greg Jones] “If you’re adventurous you can actually run Yosemite on older unsupported macs”
Thats true, but you will eventually run up against the roadblocks that Apple has put up, and uncrossable bridges that they have burnt.
HIghly, highly recommend installing a separate boot drive and start rebuilding your system from there, if this is what you really want to do… most advanced GPUs will be unavailable to you in this older chassis, but if you are able to get a Q4000 or ATI5770 running, OpenCL will become available with the ATI card and you will need to start wading through all the nvidia and CUDA drivers that the system will demand.

[Marc Wielage] “Wait until you see the 1096-page manual for Resolve 12…”
Those hoping for a quick half-a-dozen-or-so basic tutorials in 20 minutes or less “getting started” had better find a comfortable chair and a boatload of popcorn. Its going to be a long movie.
The YouTube presentations at 47 minutes are not getting to the point on even the highlight features.
Recently listened to an interview in which the surprising conclusion was that generally people are less happy when they have overchoice and are almost always more dissatisfied with the choices they do make when there are too many options. A couple of years ago I was asked how great it would be if the whole post process could be accomplished in one application — because I had voiced an opinion that I would rather see a group of dedicated individuals and programs operating in concert. Well, we’re kind of into it now. The gripe that one person is going to be held responsible for more and more functions is the way of the future — unfortunately in a field where one tiny, miniscule, non-obvious, hidden, never-heard-of-it-before miscalculation, oversight, finger problem, whatever, screws the entire process, sometimes with consequences that cost time, money, stress, budgets, delivery deadlines, maybe even jobs. Remember that this is what we asked for.
