Thanks for the suggestions. Simon, I think what you recommended is the easiest for me right now. Hopefully Apple will include something built-in at some point to make it even easier.

February 29, 2012 at 8:06 pm in reply to: Intensity Extreme with 2 Thunderbolt ports?

Yes, I know it’s an end-of-the-chain device and I know how to hook up daisy-chained devices and how the Intensity Extreme is supposed to be used. The point of my post is that the fact that the Intensity Extremeis an end-of-the-chain device makes it useless for me, and I imagine for a lot of other people. AJA seems to have no problem making the Io XT with an extra TB port for daisy-chaining, so I don’t see why no one else can. I’d get the Io XT except that it has a lot more connections than I actually need which makes it a lot more expensive and it doesn’t work with Resolve.

Yes. I don’t know how either. Maybe something that happened from opening 5.5.3 project in 6.0.

All problems solved. Nevermind.

Also, under Media Creation settings, the only resolution option is ProRes 4444 MXF. This is with the existing project on a new project.

Ok thanks for the tips. I went ahead and did the install. Having some serious problems though. I’ll post another thread about it. Need help.

September 6, 2011 at 12:46 am in reply to: Received my copy of CS5.5 in the mail today.

Since there’s someone from Adobe looking at this thread, I’d like to mention a major issue I have with Premiere Pro. The video output/monitor settings are set by the sequence settings, and once those settings are established they can’t be changed. So if I want to give a copy of a project to someone or take it to another system that has different output and monitoring hardware the only way to get it to work is to create a new sequence and copy and paste all content from one sequence to another. And if there’s multiple sequences in a potentially large project this because time consuming and just a hassle.

With FCP and Avid MC, the video output/monitor settings are set globally for the entire application. So I can take a project or sequence to any system and have it work right away. This is the way it should be.

The way Adobe Premiere Pro does it is a deal-breaker for me. Like many, I am looking at other options and likely switching from FCP. The only option for me right now is Avid MC, and I know many other editors that have been looking at Premiere Pro and Avid MC and they all agree with this. Hopefully Adobe will look at this issue and do something about it in the next version, though it appears to me to be a major change in the functionality of Adobe Premiere Pro so I’m guessing it’s unlikely.

I’ve been too busy to play with Resolve and work on this issue, but I think I figured out what happened. After I installed the program I noticed it installed CUDA drivers even though the MacBook Pro doesn’t have a NVIDIA GPU. So I went through and manually removed the CUDA drivers and that broke the program. It wouldn’t run at all. Reinstalling got the app running, but didn’t fully fix it. I may have removed something that wasn’t part of the program, but still needed by it. Restored the system and everything is good now.

Advice to everyone, don’t remove the CUDA drivers even though you don’t have a NVIDIA GPU. It must be translating OpenCL to CUDA or something and still needs those drivers work properly.

Everything’s good in that regard. I tried the Bilinear setting and still get slow/choppy playback. FPS is only about 7 with just a single node and basic luma curve adjustment, increased saturation, and a vignette made by a circular power window with the outside luma reduced. Playback without any adjustments is about 13fps. These are 1920x1080p 23.98fps shots in ProResHQ.
