[Naveen Mallikarjuna] “For the next batch, I transcoded the AMA files to MXF. Then I relinked the sequence. I selected “Relink to media from the current project” and also chose the “Video format of the current project” and “Highest Quality”.”

Thanks, the answered my question in another thread.

And thanks as usual to Shane and the rest.

Well Surprise Surprise!

I forced the GT330M on even thought it was seen anyway by Resolve. I downloaded and installed the Cuda Toolkit even though the Cuda driver has the same number. Did a restart and the mxf and the dpx group loaded at 1/16th. I switched to 1/8 and they stayed loaded. The mxf plays SLOWLY, the dpx does not change frames even though the timecode advances.

But that’s ok considering the 330M as you said is low on memory by today’s standards. Anything raw will need to be compressed or done on the big machine.

Juan,
I suppose you saw the Candle Test thread where a setup like yours beat the ashcan Mac Pro.

Y’all be cool,

[Juan Salvo] “Are you running the latest CUDA version?”

I think so, but I will check again.

BTW, this happens trying to load the mxf or the dpx sequence that I outputted from Sony RAW viewer.

I am also going to see if the Nvidea web driver will load. I am running it on the big machine with 10.8.5 and the 570 + Titan.

Thanks Again Juan:-)

Hey Folks,

Went all the way to 1/16 on the debayer and Resolve still crashes.

If BMD is reading, I am an IT person so glad to provide logs or whatever.

Thanks,
Robert A. Ober

[Juan Salvo] “Try setting the raw to debayer at quarter resolution. I would guess it’s a gpu ram issue. That gpu doesn’t have much memory for resolve to work in.”

Good point, I should have thought of that. I do have it at half but 1/4 makes sense.

I will try that.

Thanks,
Robert A. Ober

[Juan Salvo] “What gpu do you have? What is your setup?”

Sorry ’bout that.

This is on my 2010 MacBook Pro 17″ with Mavericks, a GT330M, and 8GB. The test video is on a firewire 800 MyBook 6TB RAID0. The MacBook Pro has a new model iLock and a UAD Solo Expresscard plugged into it. I have tried rebooting, running fsck, and cleaning caches with a commandline tool.

Thanks Juan,
Robert

[Robert Ruffo] “K is easy – work in 1/4 res in Premiere/DaVinci, (looks fine for working, paused res is full) render at 4K if needed.

This works like butter on 12 core Mac Pro. Same goes for full 5K. Day in, day out.”

Good point.

BTW folks, not sure anybody mentioned that Thunderbolt(2) is slower than PCIe(3).

I would really be interested in a setup like Juan’s translated to the ashcan Mac Pro. For that I am assuming Cuda cards in a TBolt expansion chassis. Let’s don’t forget that other apps besides Resolve want Cuda for certain things.

While I am somewhat on the subject, when are OS and compiler folks going to make it easy for developers so that EVERYTHING uses all the cores/virtual cores and GPU’s?

If anyone still cares, I bought the Dynapower USA NA211A-GPU Netstor at B&H and they are waiting on it to come in. I may even put my GTX570 in it for testing. Resolve Lite won’t see it but I wonder if CS6 something will.

Y’all be cool,

Jake we are just going to have to get you to come out of your shell and tell us what you think;-)

[jake blackstone] “Well, I guess your sage advice in not so… sagie:-)
The answer to your opinion is right underneath your post…”

If you mean my notalentwannabe notice then I would point out that I mean that partially tongue in cheek. I am a longtime IT Consultant and have followed the production/postproduction world for more than ten years.

Despite what the corporate media may tell you, many folks are slow to upgrade. Especially to a 1.0 product or software. My small business clients still have a significant percentage of folks on Windows XP. My number one client by volume has two servers, one is 5 years old and one is ten years old. As you may know, the economy has not recovered for everyone.

Take it EZ,
Robert

[Joseph Owens] “ut here’s a thing – in my market sector, one of the prime deliverables is a closed-captioned HD-tape master. Apple actually fenced themselves OUT of that sector by killing FCP7 in favour of a net-streaming edit app.”

Yeah, folks forget that many big movies are edited on MC 5.5 . And much other work is still on FCP7.

I would be interested in how folks are doing 4K, not UHD, with a legacy Mac Pro.

Thanks,
Robert A. Ober
