Do you want to keep any of the 2048 intact during the grade, ie for resizing, pan/scan, stabilize, or other?
Will you be working with a 2048 timeline as a master or are you going to carry out the grade on a 1920×1080 project setting?

[Robert Nimmo] “Is there a way to make resolve ONLY affect that instance in the timeline, not every time the clip appears?”
Are you using a “Local” grade? Otherwise if you are re-using the same clip extents over and over, the solution is to try to convince Resolve that it is a different clip. Geometrics are a tougher nut to crack in terms of versions.
If nothing else works… I would consider rendering out the clip at each instance with the desired PTZR settings with a unique filename and then make the editor pay to re-insert them.

[Pete Fausone] “Resolve shows my GTX760 as the GPU”
You’re trying to run with only one GPU using it as both UI and color render?

Couple of things…
If this is the correct monitor…
HD resolution — 1680 x 945 images
Wide SXGA, 16:10 pixel array 1680 x 1050 with built-in UMD
HD signal inputs: DVI-D, Component & RGB
Accepts 1080/24psf signalsSeems like there are better choices for critical grade monitoring.
JVC’s archive support site suggests: Users who require HD-SDI connections may use an external HD-SDI converter such as the nanoView™, or should consider JVC’s DT-V20L1DU.
Which is essentially the same monitor with SDI BNC-inputs. Apparently there is calibration software available to a qualified group of users, but still requires a third party probe…. it seems to just get worse and worse as I go. Older JVC displays did suffer from extremely limited angle-of-view issues, that is, tilting your head would change the perceived display values… if you are trying to find a use for an older or inherited device, with what’s available today, likely it will only be worth your effort if you are trying to do this for your own edification. My clients wouldn’t be at all happy with me if I suggested that this is what I would be doing for my commercial studio.
As far as
[Joseph Murray] “Is there a “correct” way to connect a new MacPro”
You would likely need to either put together a chain of converters from DVI-D or Thunderbolt (daunting task to keep all the conversions under control) and/or try to install some kind of LUT-calibration solution. Either way, not simple or direct.

[Doug Elick] “can’t get it to play simple H.234 or CineForm 1080p/30 GoPro video -“
Long-GOP and other codecs that rely on enormous amounts of i-b-p processing are always going to put an extra strain on processing resources and the hoops that any software has to jump through just push them further and further away from being able to cope with real-time frame rates.
The picture-processing engines in Resolve (for RGB color correction) and Final Cut or any other NLE are different racehorses — an NLE only ever has to just present the pictures — in grade, there are several layers of decoding, transcoding, re-mapping and so on that make an NLE image process look trivial.
Drop a three-way correction, speed re-map, geometric adjustment or some other filter on a clip in almost any NLE and right way you will see the application either protest or put up a render request.jPo

[Sean Sartori] “The film has temporal noise reduction throughout, but that has never been a problem before?”
It is a biggie, though. Obviously, in 4K, 4x the previous load, and with temporal NR enabled, it would be 8 or 16x depending on how many frames you need to have loaded at any one time.
Most of the freeze-up and exit-to-desktop crashes I have had mostly seem to lead back to VRAM.

Depending on your graphics card, this message usually indicates that you have insufficient VRAM.

[Randy Rubin] “how can I bring the footage online in the final stage for grading?”
If it is not part of a Media Composer timeline, where it has been imported as Media, and re-edited into the project, in which case an AAF round trip would be appropriate, then you will be importing it into the Resolve media pool and reconforming the VFX clips into the master sequence. It is possible do this manually.
If you are reconforming to master full-resolution clips in Resolve, then it might be a possibility to segregate the VFX clips onto a second layer, for example, or a separate bin, so that you can change source folder for the media that you do want to substitute, on a folder basis.
Another brute force method would be to take all the low-res media “offline” and direct Resolve to search other source folders to essentially force a reconnect to the desired clips, when it can’t find the proxies you used for the edit.

Read the configuration guide on the Blackmagic support site. CUDA is a graphics engine that accelerates performance based on nVidia GPUs. It is required if you are running a supported GPU of this type.

[Ihab Ali] “I figured this could be related to drop frame timecode because the footage is 59.94 fps but there is no way to control how PPro exports xml and once the XML in resolve the drop frame options are greyed out.”
Time code configurations are locked once media is brought into the browser, so that is why that option goes away. Drop Frame/ Non-drop may not be the whole situation — is the timeline really 59.94 like 720P60? Perhaps the time code references are incorrect as a result of being calculated at 29.97…?
