  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

DaVinci Resolve 8 released and available

Nodes can be more powerful in certain implementations, but in the case of Resolve, they only offer serialized and parallel nodes. So it's nothing more than an alternative representation for a layered stack.

Other than serial and parallel nodes there are Layer Mixer node and Key Mixer node in Resolve.
I think everyone will use Layer Mixer node more often for HDRx footage from EPIC.

I'm new resolve. How dose the layer mixer nodes work with HDRx footage?
 
If you have HDRx material Resolve will decode both streams. In the node graph, add a layer mixer after node one. Right click on the node graph background and add a source. This will be the short exposure from the HDRx. Connect this source to the input of node 3 (the corrector node that was automatically added when you added the layer mixer)
As node 3 was added after node 1, it has a greater priority in the layer mixer. You output image should now be the same as the short exposure. With node 3 selected, use the Post Mix Gain control on the key tab, set to 50%.
You now have a 50/50 mix between the normal and short exposure, and can adjust this mix and the grades of both inputs as you like.
Resolve processes the images in 32 bit float so the whole HDR is passed through for processing.

thanks Peter ! got it working... I guess the trick is to work the qualifier and window to handle the transition between the two tracks
 
Yeah, that's the NAB announcement that has been there since April. Looking forward to it coming out later this month. Great idea as they will sell thousands of the full version when they try it.

As for me, I just want to make sure it works on my system before committing.

Front page, second slide says "Davinci Resolve Lite is available free" http://www.blackmagic-design.com/?heroNum=2

EDIT: I guess it doesn't say "now" so that may be the case. I am sure I will get the full version but would love to try the lite version now!

Im new to Resolve and im stumped with a display issues.
Currently running a Quadro 4000 as a display (I know, I know) and have it set to my Apple 30s 2560x1600.
I guess Resolve doesnt support this.
Any work arounds?
I do have dual 27' Dells on my Maya system, I guess I can move the Reslolve Mac to that.

Edit: strange, I resized the displays to 1920x1440 then it worked. then I reset it back up and now it works on higher res?
 
Will it be available for windows any time in the future? For me the more interesting question is: will the lite version be avalible on windows anytime soon?
I'm really looking into building my own super system for Avid/Resolve/Premiere/After effects work and I just don't feel Apple will be able to give me the powerful hardware options I need for it.

For the foreseeable future, the answer to that has been and remains no. To either the real one, or the free one.

not sure what the issue might have been... Do you have any other video card in the system... Might have been a GPU or CUDA thing or confusion, if the Quadro is your only card.

Christoffer, I bet you a beer that IF Apple really decides to neuter Mac Pros, Blackmagic will make a Windows version of Resolve.

I'll also bet you another beer that Apple will NOT neuter Mac Pros for at least the next year or two.

So why not just get a Mac for now? If / when Apple abandons pros in their hardware, you can always move to Windows in the future and I'm sure Resolve will too?

I say this as a guy who has owned way more PCs than Macs and is planning on getting a Mac Pro primarily for Resolve!

Is there an official note stating that Resolve 8 can be installed on OS 10.6.8?
I have it running on 10.6.7 Mac Pro 12 core Quadro4000 (display and CUDA) but found a few bugs.
Crashed it a few times last Friday.
