In PS it can be done by reducing the black levels in the red and yellow channels only. Cant figure out a way to do this in Resolve. Stig

Hi,

I just bought the Z820 with a Quadro 4000 for GUI and a GTX 690.

Any slot recommendations for using both Avid and Resolve?

– Q4000
– GTX 690
– Red Rocket
– Decklink
– External Raid
– Avid Mojo DX
– P2 Recorder

I have read the configuration manual for Resolve, but I want to make sure that this will work for my combined solution.

Thank you!

As I understand… if I will use both Avid and Resolve on the same machine, I need two graphic cards – one for Avid (Nvidia 4000) and one for Resolve (GTX 680/690). Then I need to configure the text file in the Avid folder.

Can someone confirm that those cards will work together on the same machine with both Resolve and Avid?

I see 🙂

So they all perform better than the GTX 470 card? Even the GTX 640?

Hi again Peter,

The price for the 6000-card that I found is 4400USD. Any other good options for more GPU power?
I already have a RED Rocket card.

Ok thank you.
will that work for Avid too? What do you recommend as the second graphic card?

Anyone used Avid and Resolve on the same PC?
I read on this forum that you need to adjust a text-file to make it work? Is that correct or is that fixed now?

We also use OLED PVM for reference and Panasonic BT300 Plasmas for clients. Works fine for us.

To clarify, I said that Avid will remap a full range file to video levels by checking RGB when importing.
Im not sure if this works in FCP, but it will surprise me its not possible.

Those times Avid is the final destination and there is no need for going to another softwares for finishing, I do exact the same as Robbie is describing, except that I render MXF instead of Prores (because its Avid and not FCP).

So, if FCP is the only and last destination – do what Robbie says and you will be fine.

“by William Edwards: Thanks for clearing this up with Avid. I never saw this kind of import option for Final Cut; is there one?”

William, I dont know about FCP but I will be surprised if you dont have the possibility to remap from full range to normal range on import, the same way in FCP as well.
The workflow Robbie is describing also works with Avid, but I recommend render full range and remap to 709 on import in any NLE.
The reason is that you can use the same full range file simultaneously in softwares as After Effects, Flame, Smoke etc as well.
If you render normal range from Davinci you limit yourself to only work with this file in a software that expects normal range.

But yes, if your only and final destination is FCP then render normal range.

.. so that basically means for you that you can monitor normal range in Davinci, render full range and import the file as RGB in Avid. Avid will then remap the full range file to normal range and your monitor will display exactly the same both in Davinci and Avid.
