We’re using Western Digital RE 4TB drives, no RAID, but it should not be an issue with DNxHD bandwidth.. My Ivy Bridge 4-core machine at home performs just fine with Prores/DNxHD and 7200rpm drives.

The gui gpu didn’t have much effect on the snappiness, but I also started to suspect the power supply, and swapped the PSU from another PC.. and it really made a difference! The old PSU, even if it was the same 1000W, couldn’t deliver the needed juice as fast as the other PSU. In this case Corsair was better than Cooler Master.

Ok, tried all those, not much insights. Driver versions were the same, 340.52. Got rid of the GT 440, which didn’t have any effect on performance. The 3930K machine runs more nodes in RT, but the older 2600K is snappier when adjusting nodes in a large node tree, no lag between turning the knob on the Wave and adjustments on the image. hmm. I’ll try next to equip the 3930K with a beefier GUI GPU. Just got a GTX 750 for that purpose.

Sure, it’s a great feature. But I’d suggest also to get familiar with the remote grades and master timeline, in case someone is not familiar with them. I think it’s a great way to grade certain kinds of projects, for example interviews where there’s lots of long master shots. And if there are new XML:s coming your way every once in a while, it’s lightning fast to just import the XML and boom, your grade is ready. It’s not the only way to work of course, but worth learning I think. Just like the Color Trace.

When importing DNxHD renders from Resolve to Premiere CS6, the “full scale” -ones look right. This has changed with Premiere CC. Now the normally scaled looks right also. The Premiere CC seems to recognize the scaling, unlike CS6. And it usually makes more sense to render normally scaled.

Will try those, thanks!

The current version of Resolve uses “local grades” as default. The older versions had a master timeline approach as default. The master timeline has all the material in the project, and using “remote grades”, the master timeline got graded as well. This behavior can still be selected in the current version. It has the advantage that when editorial changes are made and a new xml/aaf is brought into Resolve, the clips that have already been imported have the grades in place immediately after bringing the new timeline. No need for Color Trace. Of course if there are new clips, they have to be imported to the project and graded.

Does anyone have suggestions where to start to investigate.. good diagnostic apps..?

Did some quick testing and I could not replicate the “hanging” on my other PC. So it might be that some component is beginning to malfunction.

I don’t seem to have problems with drives, but it’s more than 3-year old Sandy Bridge system so the CPU+mobo combination might be at the end of their lifespan.
