I use the studio version and an NVIDIA GPU with more grunt and particularly more RAM. 2 gig is lean for a GPU. Regardless, it should work.
Do you have Playback>Render Cache>smart on? If not it will quickly render what it needs so you can see smooth playback. Select your render codec and render drive in Settings (little cog icon bottom right) 16Beta4 is the latest and it keeps getting better. I think you are on Beta3

720 x 576 is 4:3SD PAL ans is an export option. You are trying to make a 4:3 HD resolution which is non standard.

JPEG2000 is the basis of DCP. It is absolutely a current codec. I can see some codes on that list that might be fair enough to depreciate but some that are still required for video professionals.

[Bill Davis]”Not sure how it could be.”
I’ve had many FPGAs in my equipment over the years. Fairlight upgraded my original card after about nine years. My latest FPGA from them is currently compatible with Fairlight in Resolve but for how long, I don’t know. However that is audio and they are monster processors for that purpose so have lasted much longer. In video, two of my Blackmagic cameras have FPGA cards on board. My three year old Ursa Mini has an older card that can’t be upgraded with the latest firmware. So three years was all I could get before the software over ran the capabilities of the card. Given the fast moving world of codecs and pixel aspects and depths, it is conceivable that an FPGA card might not last any longer than two to three years. Is the Afterburner upgradable? Unfortunately my camera isn’t but the Fairlight card is PCIe so yes it can be if required.
FPGAs are just processors and that world moves just as fast. Their capacity to be reprogrammed make them flexible for sure but not any more able to withstand development of processors and demands.

In clip attributes it is advisable to first set the correct pixel aspect on the clip. Multiple clips with the same attributes can be selected and the attributes changed on all. I make sure those attributes are correct before editing. Chasing aspect on edit or color pages may not be necessary if you set those clip based attributes first.
That said you may have done that and you are reporting a bug. If so then I suggest you forward the bug to Blackmagic via their forum.

[Herb Sevush]”Pretty sure you’re right, although my attribution was funnier.”
Gold. I got it and laughed a lot.
This has been a most amusing thread and brought a few back to entrenched positions to slaughter metaphors and trade their particular truisms. If nothing else Apple has delivered on what they said for pros and I’m certainly happy with that. If only because it was getting increasingly uncomfortable for those cheering on the Apple side so the debates can now continue.

[Sergio Parrella] ” So does this mean that I don’t need to transcode my 8-bit 4:2:0 h.264 file to DNX/ProRes/Cineform to get Resolve to process it in a greater bit depth?”
Yes. Resolve does colour processing in 32 bit float regardless of the source files. You should output in at least a 10 bit codec to take advantage of the range realised in the grade.

[Steve Connor] “How on earth could you be confident about that when we have NO idea about how the new Mac Pro will perform?”
Resolve performs better with CUDA. Apple makes expensive hardware. So it’s a fair bet that a custom PC running NVIDIA cards will outperform a MacPro with AMD cards. I have no intention of spending that sort of money But seriously, matching specs on anything I build will be cheaper than a computer Apple makes.

[Jeremy Garchow] ” It seems a little more than just flowery language.”
I recall Grant being effusive about the trashcan.

Audio linking is still an ongoing problem. I’m keen to use Fairlight more but at the moment I ask for an OMF or AAF and use my old Fairlight standalone software because it just works better.
