We’ve had this problem with a setup using 3xGTX680 and 2xGTX680, usually it would start after a few hours of use. We also have seen variations of black, yellow and purple flash frames. When we swap the 680s for 285s, the issue goes away immediately.
We took out one 680 at a time to ensure it wasn’t a single failing card, but the problem persists. BM support looked closely at our case but wasn’t able to find anything conclusive or replicate the problem on their system. So definitely follow up with them, and hopefully they will get to the bottom of it, it feels like an issue with the 600 series GPUs (another user posted similar symptoms on a 650m GPU).

Hi Drew,
While I’ll second the “copy to local > colortrace to local” approach as the most automated, I like to keep the other remote versions handy (sometimes I’ve kept something useful in the other versions, or have issues with Red Metadata). Unfortunately that means going through the whole project and comparing the version numbers to the old edit.
To speed that up you can go into the lightbox view of your first edit, enable the info (which puts the version name/number on the thumbnail) and then screen capture the lightbox. That can work as a visual list, Then put that screencap on a second screen or laptop and you can go through relatively quickly.

Hi Andrew,
I think you’ll need to discuss the delivery in greater detail with the team, but I would imagine that if they are finishing 2.40, they would want to view everything the whole time in 2.40. As you said, the most useful things for them to have in the end would be:
1. 1920×1080 HD Master (with 2.40 letter boxing)
2. A 2048×858 2K Master for DCP (which is 2.39 or so)Because Resolve is resolution independent, you can change from one project resolution to another pretty easily without your framing getting screwed up (as long as you keep the same aspect ratio and your scaling is set to one of the “fill frame/fit to frame/etc.” options). There are a couple ways to do it – one way to approach these end deliverables would be by setting up a 1920×1080 project with a 2.40 masking, and making all your framing adjustments based on that while you monitor in 1080p.
Then you could output the 1080p version from your 1920×1080 project. After that, turn off the masking, switch the project to 2048×1152, and your output to 2048×858, no resizing. That would give you the 2.39 2K version without changing the aspect ratio.
As far as matching the editor’s reframes, we match them all exactly and then make adjustments with the clients present. That way they only see what they are used to seeing until you broach the subject.
Cheers,

Hi Chris,
You can right click a node and “add outside node” which will add a serial node after that is linked with the triangle key connection. That node will use the opposite of the first node’s qualifier or shape selection.
You can also manually connect any node’s key output to some node’s key inputs, if you need several “outside” nodes for one selection. You can also invert in incoming key if you want an “inside” node.
Cheers,

Hi Jordan,
Do the promos have overlapping timecode and no reel # in the media pool? Resolve is looking for media with the reel #s in the EDL, then if it doesn’t find that, looking for any clips with useable timecode.
If each EDL had something unique in the reel ID column for each event (001, 002, 003), you could give the appropriate media that reel# in the media pool, and it should connect correctly.
If the EDLs don’t have anything unique in the reel ID column, it’s probably too time consuming to go and add it. You’ll want to create one bin per promo in the media pool, and when you bring in the EDL, deselect the other folders to exclude the overlapping media. If you already have the timeline imported, you can right click on it and select “reconform from bins” which will let you select a single bin and it will ignore the other media.
Cheers,

I definitely was able to do it with a wave in 8.x, but I don’t have one to test…

What I do is play a still, select reference reposition from the menu (or use keyboard shortcut) and then use my element panel to adjust the input sizing controls, but now it applies to the reference file. I honestly don’t know how you do it with mouse and keyboard – it does seem overly complicated.

Hi Mark,
You’re correct in thinking that Resolve will not make any changes to the .R3D files, including when you render.
The output files will not be .R3D and the color will be destructively baked into those, but the process is read-only for your source media.

Hi Pepijn,
Not sure how this will work on your exact project, but when you are displaying the still, enter Reference reposition mode and adjust horizontal stretch… This will affect any still you play…
