I get similar issues after a long render. I think it might be a heat issue. I have found a potential fix I think.
I have “iStat Menus” (https://bjango.com) on my system (so I can have lots of dials on the tool bar). I have found if I use manual fan speed settings to se the Mac Pro system fans to max (1900RPM) I don’t get the glitches. The fan speed difference between Apples standard and the Max fan is about 15 degrees on the GPU chips.
Running the fans on max stops the glitches on my renders.

All media is on local drives. Thankfully I have a fantastic assistant so everything is the same codec and frame rate before it gets to Resolve. Previous shows using v9 were rock solid, so I’m at a bot of a loss.

I just bought Digital Anarchy’s Flicker free plug in to remove a rolling fluorescent light flicker. It worked wonders and is only $150. They have a beta for Davinci, but I’m using it in AE at the moment.

Thanks for your response.
I’m using DNXHD120 at 25i. I have 64GB or memory and the Mac Pro has twin firePro D700’s. the Drives are Areca 8050T2 Thunderbolt2 raid, with 8 x 4TB drives, which give around 950MB/s read and write according to the Blackmagic speed test App. So I doubt the issue is long seek time for the drives or lack of RAM on the computer.
The show records over periods of up to 36 hours, so swapping timecode by 12 hours, though a good idea, won’t work in this case. The issue is something that AAF parsing code should catch. Camera crews are not always the best listeners.
Can anyone guide me to the location of the crash logs and who’s email to send them to?
cheers & thanks,
Marcus

Generally Films get rendered out as DPX files in 2k.
I have in the past though rendered films as Rec 709 ProRes 4444. This was useful as the I knew the director would want to tinker with the edit after the grade. Both these options will convert to DCP fine.Marcus Herrick

I think the sensible answer would be to have option to right click on a clip and export it via xml to After effects or Nuke (potentially with each nodes grade as rendered layers). So with one click you can jump out to a compositor add flare or paint out something and then jump back to resolve and continue grading while it renders.
In the case of Nuke it could specify the render format and location so renders can be automatically conformed back into the grade.
This would give DaVinci the best composting tools at your fingertips or have comps easily completed by an assist seat, while you keep grading. Best of all it’s quick and seamless for the client watching.

I’ve been using a PVM-2541 for grading network & cable shows since January. I had Sony calibrate it and it matches my standard def BVM really well (with obviously better blacks). I have no issues with it in terms of colour. I find the inter-field mode is not great for checking sync. But other than that it’s been flawless. Even the freelance colourists we have in from time to time have loved it (one even went and bought his own).
Having used owned a dreamcolor and used FSI, JVC & TV logic monitors, I won’t be changing from my OLED anytime soon.

They’re still up on my website which is embarrassingly un updated. https://Www.haiku.com.au just click the plug ins link.

The video also shows that the UI is realizable. So at worst you’ll be able to make the viewer bigger to see what you’re doing. I hope they do have a short cut key like Nuke does to maximize a selected window at the touch of a button.
