Sure. After waiting so long for the new Mac Pro I won’t be jumping before I’ve seen one in action but I’m feeling like it may not make financial sense for us to redesign the studio around this any more than it made sense for us to move our edit suites to FCP X when that launched.

This just looks like a great Apple style item to me which won’t look so good once I’ve attached 10 peripherals to it. As a good friend of mine commented: if you want a sexy looking Mac on top of the desk there’s the iMac, we’d have been happier if the new Mac Pro was a 19″ rackmount machine. (and maybe mine will be).

I wonder if Resolve 10 will run better with the improved Open-CL than on CUDA?. Wouldn’t want to pay $4k or $5k?? (plus peripherals) for a new Mac Pro to find that it doesn’t.

I’ve been holding out for this announcement before upgrading but now I feel a Hackintosh or a jump to Windows coming on.

I think Resolve requires files to have an extension to recognise it as video

[Michael Stirling]

file wrangler will allow you to batch add a file extension.

Just a thought…

Would you be able to achieve this by loading it in as a matte on a track grade

Hmm,

Just wanted to test some new LUTs and found I didn’t have all the flavours of Alexa locally so tried to download these

They download about 30MB before they ‘think’ they’re done. I’ve tried in chrome, safari and firefox.
I see from Gary’s post that Int_PR422HQ_LogC.mov is 842MB but all I get is 26MB. I’m on a pretty fast pipe in a post house.

Any thoughts?

thanks

I was at a clients place and they are running Resolve Lite with an intensity HDMI PCIe card which works and is shown in the video I/O panel.

I would say though that I think it is only 8 bit and if you have a broadcast monitor it seems a shame to be in 8 bit for the sake of a couple of hundred dollars. There are places to skimp but picture monitoring isn’t one of them IMO.

Been a while since I’ve done this but yes, if you ‘copy all grades to local’ which is what ‘batch copy’ is now then you can use color trace of the sequence into a new version of the project though you must ‘make local’ (batch unlink) in the new sequence before color tracing or you will still get errors

Here’s an untried refinement of it which may been even more helpful:

In v8 I used to sometimes move clips into a new track and mute the main track if I wanted to batch copy or unlink some clips but not others as the batch copy(unlink) only affected the un-muted tracks. IF Resolve v9 still works this way then you MIGHT be able to do this process with flags and filtered views. That way you could flag clips that you knew needed this process awhile grading as you created the versions.

This could also be the Quicktime gamma instability (there is a lot about this on the cow but no real solution other than don’t use it.) – doesn’t always happen so you could just render again and see…

maybe there is a better name for this thread than Da Vinci Resolve (they could all be named that)

After more testing problem still happened at 1/16 debayer and 1fps rendering.

It was an issue with the RED files I copied onto my RAID being corrupted which exhibited the same symptoms as the problems others have had but not actually the same malaise. Working from the clients drive now over FW800 and things appear to be fine.

Thanx

ps. how does one do a solved tick or is that a moderator thing?
