“NR will not operate on the OpenCL graphics systems at all”
Does that mean that if I want to run Resolve 8 on a iMac with ATI graphics card, I will not be able to use NR at all?
I’m very much waiting for the release of version 8!

Hey Sasha,
I’ve tried to install Davinci on my iMac 27″ and it didn’t work for me. The application just kept crashing with almost everything I did. So finally, you have a real answer to your very simple question!
I was also looking for a way to see and play with the interface, I don’t understand why people worry so much about that.
Good luck!

It’s strange. Most the people talk about washed out contrast, while my problem is the opposite, my exports have too much contrast and too much saturation.
I tried it, but it didn’t work.
Thanks for your reply anyway!

Thanks for your reply!
On vimeo.com their is no help available on gamma issues.
Yes, searching for ‘gamma’ in the FCP help menu gives a lot of hits, but maybe a bit too much cause I can’t find my problem there.

Hi Don,
From an overall workflow point of view I think the canon plugin is a timesaver, effortsaver. Also I noticed that it creates the audio as two mono tracks, which can also be usefull. I didn’t mention sorenson squeeze in my post, though I did give it a try, but the results were extremely bad looking and not even worth mentioning.
It is still kinda funny that there isn’t a single tool that really does the trick like I want it, considering myself as a professional user with very normal demands (eg Timecode).
Instead of writing to Grinder I think I’ll give rarevision my opinion on there product cause they really want to make the best tool considering image quality (and not speed).
Kind regards,
Pepijn,

Hi Don and others,
Today, without having read this post, I did almost the same testing. I tried Grinder, Mpegstreamclip, Canon’s plugin for fcp and a new one 5DtoRGB (rarevision).
For canon to fcp workflow my choice became the canon plugin. It’s a real pitty that the clips sometimes are truncated, cause besides that, it’s the most perfect one I think. Almost no visible shifts in saturation and luma and TIMECODE!!! yes! That makes an editor like me happy. It allowes me to work with duplicate frame detection, which I always do. Plus it was pretty fast.
Mpegstreamclip did the baddest job when comparing the files to the original. Too bad, cause I really like the speed and simplicity of this tool.
Grinder also shifted the luma and saturation values.
5DtoRGB did an oustanding job, but has two big cons; no batch converting and no timecode added (or at least not TOD). It also took a lot of time, but for me personally that’s not a priority.
Finally compressor. Results were very good, but I also had the cropping problem, cropping the image a little bit. No timecode added.
I hope this contribution has been usefull!
Good luck everyone converting yours…

Yep, John is right. I did fully render the timeline. It plays very well in quicktime 7. Quicktime X is the issue here. Bad product!

Yeah I guess you’re right! Will not use it again anymore. Thanks.

I’m using the “current settings”, in other words my timeline settings, of which I post a picture in my previous thread.
Also I select the ‘make movie self contained’.
UPDATE: When I play the same file in an older version of quicktime, so not quicktime X, the problem disappears as well!
You think it’s the Quicktime X app messing it up?

I think it has to do with your timeline settings. By default fcp will make a stereo mix of the audio in the timeline, but you can alter this in the timeline settings (command-0). Try discrete channels for example.
Good luck and please let me know if it worked, im curious…
