[Paul Nordin] “I’ve got 2-GTX285 GPUs in a Cubix. One node of denoise drops playback to 12-14fps.”
yeah I’ve got the same setup I’ll have to double check when I’m back in the suite tomorrow but I think I would have noticed drops that severe

I’ve successfully used V8 on 14 jobs in the past month with only a few minor hiccups that have been addressed in each beta build.
The Highlights for me are.
Denoiser – takes a little finessing but is awesome. One way I’ve been using it too is as a quick skin softener. Simply put a window around someone and crank up the denoiser. Vs. qualifying and then blurring often works quicker
Stabilizer – one word – awesome!
Curves – Lum vs Sat is awesome for desaturating highlights or shadows, Hue vs Sat great for things like tweaking saturation of grass, water, skies. I’m on the big panel and I also appreciate that the new curves are available direct from the panel.
RGBl Mixer- As Vladimir said awesome for black and white looks. I’m still trying to figure it out a bit for color looks.
3D Auto Align – we’ve started to do more and more 3D projects and this feature is simply amazing. Click it it take a second and the images are aligned. Super quick.
Conform and XML – to be honest I’ve kind of forgotten about the Browse Page! With XML it can automatically add that media after you find the first clip and setup your project for you. One cool thing I’ve discovered is you don’t even have to go to the folder with the shot, you can literally just pick the drive and while it will take a while to parse it does find everything. XML out works like a charm too. The edit functions in the Conform page are also pretty awesome for reediting a section making cuts etc.
The FCP presets in the render page in FCP compatibility option are also nice add ons
The only thing (probably obvious to most) that took me a second to figure out is on multi – layer sessions you have to use unmix to see all the layers and grade them.
Peter, Rohit and the team have done an amazing job with this. It also amazes me in Beta everything has been so stable and actually works as advertised!

[Gabriele Turchi] “Did you apply the legalyzer?”
No I didn’t. Which had me worried. As that is the normal workflow through the DL860 to SR. But worked out just fine with normally scaled on.

I some how prior to rendering switched my config to one that was full range. Not sure how I did that but as I said it has been that kind of day. Switched back to normally scaled, re-rendered and all was right with the world.

sure is just keep adding nodes! Every node in resolve can be a correction or a combination of corrections. Your only real limitation is depending on your system and the horse power of that system realtime playback might suffer if you added say 40 nodes on a shot. But at that point you might want to just give up anyway 🙂

yeah disk access can have a huge impact. Have you run either the BM or AJA disk test utility to see what kind of read/writes your getting on the shared storage?

I think roman is saying 1080i60 (59.94) not 1080p60 so a frame rate of 29.97. Right Roman?
1080i60 ProRes accounts for 90% of the work I do and I get solid playback no problem on both single and dual GPU systems. Both GTX285s.. What slots do you have your cards in?
