I have 2 GeForce GTX 680 cards as well as an ATI Radeon HD 5770 for my GUI. I want to put in 3 of the GTX 680 cards and I have been told that it is a waste.

Love the option to grade on the Handles!!!!!!! This and Duplicate Timeline are two unadvertised features in Davinci 10 that will make my life soooooo much easier in my studio!!
Thanks Blackmagic for all the great work!

Thanks for your quick responses. Let me rephrase what I was asking, as I have read the gpu guide and do have a Cubix Expanded system. Its just that my hardware supplier was saying that Resolve doesn’t really see a performance advantage to having more than 2 CUDA enabled cards plus the GUI card on a system (I want to put in a third). I have not heard that anywhere else, and I was wondering if anybody else could corraborate this.
thanks,

I agree that the keyer needs an upgrade; but I have to say, Davinci 10 is a huge step in the right direction–totally not “prosumer”. By focusing and refining on the conform, edit and delivery tabs, and bringing the speed up a notch, davinci is fast becoming the ultimate online finishing application.

Mac is latest version. Latest version of davinci as well.

I don’t have this problem; although if you are talking about saving in the “presets” area, I have found that a bit confounding. I set my framerate in my settings tab, and hit apply, and then I save my project and the framerate sticks, and I can import a bunch of footage, and even if it is the wrong framerate, the framerate of my project stays the same.

We have been struggling with the compositing aspect of Davinci as well; we are finishing out of smoke/flame for the most part and use Davinici’s display of composites as an approximation of how it is going to look.

If i sounded snarky when I said “come-on blackmagic”, I didn’t mean to. I think what they have done with Resolve has been amazingly responsive to our needs in color grading.

My solution is to copy and paste from one timeline to another; I literally go into one timeline, copy all of the elements of that timeline, make a new blank timeline, and then paste into that new timeline. The limitation of this is that Davinci 9 crashes often when I do this on a multi-layered timeline. To fix this, I copy the timeline one video layer at a time. A pain for sure, but all of the color info, including versions works seamlessly. The one thing that doesn’t copy is horizontal and vertical flops.
Duplicating a timeline would make the most sense; as all of the metadata is right there, and it should just be easy to do. Come on BlackMagic, help me with this!!! I have even tried “create a new timeline with handles”; and it makes a beautiful new timeline, not only does all of my color and version data not come across, but I also have to manually reassign blending modes.

What I did in a similar situation is to:
1. My AfterEffects artist made the keys using the source material.
2. Perform a color grade on the material in Davinci. I did some spill correction and neutralizing of the blue cast overall in here (which helped me to also see how the color was going to look in the end)
3. Had my artist repoint to the new clips in Aftereffects, but he burned in the original keys that I made with the source materials to create the composites.Worked like a charm.
