    Problem solved.

    I ended up restoring a slightly older backup of the Resolve system and boom, everything is back to normal.
    I suspect that the most current backup was incomplete in some way.

    The new SSD drive is quite a bit zippier on boot up and application launch.

    Juan, thanks for the quick response.
    Is there a separate installer for the PostGRES server?
    I tried a uninstall and re-install of the Resolve software with no success.

    Just to clarify, the footage I was working with was shot by one of San Francisco’s finest DPs. Looking forward to working with the BMD camera!

    Thanks for the input Kevin.
    Two :30 commercials here, both daylight interior and exterior.
    The interior shots were well lit.
    Pushing gamma and gain in either direction worked as expected.
    Lift was where the uglies showed up.

    I had three and four nodes playing back with no problem.
    The shadow areas were very problematic.
    Pushing lift down for richer blacks resulted in an incredible amount of noise.
    Vignettes resulted in horrible banding.

    I’m running Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro, and Davinci Resolve on a single MacPro with 5770 GUI, Q4000 GPU, BM card, and Nitris DX card. The trick is to have separate boot drives or partitions for each system. This eliminates conflicts between systems and makes it easy to manage updates to one system while not negatively affecting the others. I have a single 1.5TB internal drive with three boot partitions. This set up has served me well for about two years now.

    Problem solved.
    Swapped out the 2008 8-core for a 2010 12-core and BAM!!!, the ProRes4444 project played at 24fps with multiple nodes. Thank you to all of you for your input.
