If/when we need to add another seat for colorcorrection in the future, it is a no-brainer (for me) to buy a mac, regardless if Resolve is supported by windows or not. ProRes is one reason, stability is another, and much larger, reason.
We have 14 windows computers and many of them work fine because they are left in a totally isolated enviroment, no internet, no updates, no add-ons and no new software. And still they have issues from time to time. A PC with issues “only now and then” is to be considered “the best you can get with windows”.
Our six macs? No problems at all so far, nothing that can be compared to the random windows-stunts. The difference in stability is huge.

I´m looking at the knobs panel… imagine having the first row set for master black levels, gamma, highlights. The next row is R+G+B blacks, next R+B+B gamma and the top row is R+G+B highlights…
OMFG that would be a sweet panel to use, I would buy four of them in an instant if they were supported by Resolve…

OMG, if Blackmagic refuses to support this… kill me…

Yes, either that or something with the way Premiere writes its AAF files. Anyone have some other software (other than Premiere) that can handle multiple sequences and export AAF files? That would be a interesting test.

Thanks, then I know it is not a issue with my computer… I uninstalled and re-installed everything trying to get rid of this bug. It is not the first alphabetically in my computer either. And it is not the first sequence created either. Sometimes it was the first, and sometimes it was the second sequence. Making a copy of the sequence might be a workable workaround. Good idea!

I considered that, but decided I don´t want to put all my eggs in one basket. When Blackmagic cannot even tell us where the database it or what folder to backup… I ain´t gonna set all my four Resolve-seats on the same database. When/if that database fails, we´d have a major issue…
It feels safer to have it all split to four databases, really. And the staff will normally be working with different clients too, so no real need to share databases with eachother. It would also make the database much more difficult to search through (many more project to search through).
And also, when Blackmagic cannot (or will not?) tell us when a database is to be considered as “too big”, it is anyones guess when it gets too big. And having the same database for four seats will definetly make it “too big” sooner rather than later.
How soon? Well… it seems not even Blackmagic knows the answer to that question…

IT is really surprising that they have missed these really basic things. “Right-click, set as default setting.” How hard can it be?

Yeah, but this specific workstation only has a 720p monitor. And the project is set to 720p, the footage is 720p… and yet the format page always defaults to 1080p. That is just weird, it can´t be that difficult to have it adjust according to the project settings. What are project settings for, if the project isn´t set according to the project settings…
If I don´t change this to 720p I can´t see the whole image on the reference monitor, and when I render out a new file it is set to 1080p (if I haven´t changed it on the format tab).

For those who want a keyboard with all the shortcuts this is pretty awesome: https://www.eastwoodsoundandvision.com/product/1232/logickeyboard-davinci-resolve

Yeah, but it isn´t that easy for us… If we´d make a new database for every 450 minutes of footage we´d need to make a new database every single day. Not a good workflow, and no guidelines to when a database is “too big” doesen´t make it any easier. 🙁
If every Resolve project was saved as “a project” somewhere, anywhere, it would make life so much easier. I know you can export projects, but if I have understood things correctly this takes some time to do, so it is no good workflow either.
Backup management and being able to find old projects in a big pile of databases is lacking in Resolve, as far as I see it. But I guess it all depends on when a database is considered as “too big” to work smoothly.
