There have been so many times where the client’s happy with the color, but then they see it rendered out with audio the next day and all of a sudden they have new thoughts and concerns. Cut that middle step out and give them “what you see is what you get” would save days of my life.
And automatic tracking power windows would save me weeks! I’m hoping the ability to import an externally created alpha channel mask is in Mac Resolve.

With its ability to have multiple banks of buttons and knobs I can create almost “rooms” within Wave in Color – this layout is for secondary vignettes, this layout is for keying, this layout is for keyframing – etc. For the size and price, it’s pretty darned good!

August 25, 2010 at 3:01 pm in reply to: Switching Apple Color to Resolve… Good idea or Great idea?I almost got the MC Color, but switched to Wave because of the out of the box davinci support. And I’m kinda glad I did – mostly because I love the clickety-clak buttons on it. They’re very fast and easy to press.
When I was looking at vids of the euphonix panel, all the buttons seemed tiny and, how do I describe it, squishy-like?

Sounds great! Now how bout letting us beta test? 🙂

Awesome news all around and the word “beta” means it’s close I hope!

What happens then, I wonder? Curious if the BM guys are nervous, or maybe they know something we don’t.

I agree that the stability and security of Windows is often underestimated. But since none of us here are actually developing the DaVinci software, I don’t think it’s fair to assume that the only reason we’re not seeing a Windows system is because they have some poorly-researched aversion to it.
Like I said before, I have assumed 2 reasons why we’re seeing a Mac/Linux release only:
1. Porting. OSX has more things in common with Linux than windows, making a port easier.
2. Price differentiation. If they release a Windows Resolve for the price of the Mac Resolve, there would be less reason to go the Linux route. I think the power differential is a good move from a business standpoint.That being said, I’ll be keeping my ear to the ground on if anyone gets Resolve running on a hackintosh.

Now I always thought Ultrascope was meant to run on its own PC – so i’m guessing this guy would run just fine on any USB3 pc laptop that meets the system spec.
You know the blackmagic guys give a lot of love to Windows with driver and device support. I wonder if the reason for no PC davinci is because it’s easier to port code Linux > Mac rather than Linux > Windows?
-
The pocket ultrascope still requires a computer, it just interfaces via USB3. I think it was designed so you can turn a laptop into your scope monitor.

At the demo I saw they had scopes running as a popup window you can open in the DaVinci. One of the things I asked about is whether Resolve supported multiple monitors (so I could shuffle some of those scopes to a 2nd one), but the guy said it couldn’t. That may make built in scopes kind of annoying to use since there doesn’t seem to be a good place for them to live. Anyone have any correction on the multi-monitor issue?
