Peter,

Is support for the CP200 still on the roadmap?

We have a full version of DaVinci next to a full version of Flexxity, and I'd love to use the CP200 to do proper grading/correction.

Great to have Retina support! Thanks

Looking forward to checking out 9.1 Peter.
Wanted to make a feature request while I'm at it. Could Resolve be updated to be able to read in more RED metadata? I've been using Resolve 9 to create edit dailies, and it would be great to be able to read in things like Scene and Take info from the R3D to be able to burn the in along with TC and clipname, etc. If not directly from the R3D, than even from an ALE exported out of RedCine would be great.
Thanks!

OK... DeckLink 4K Extreme support is a go! Now RED just needs to ship me one of those 4K projectors!

 

[Bob Gundu]

Just curious.... I have an external Sonnet thunderbolt enclosure with a red rocket and a BMD SDI Decklink installed. I always get crazy flicker unless I change the colour space from Video Levels to Data Levels. Anyone else?

 

[Bing Bailey]

firing on all cylinders. love black magic. if we could get plugin support for davinci I would be in heaven.

 

[Paul Lee]

Nice! Keep it up!

 

[Ron Lagerlof]

Just about to install Davinci 9.0 (new install) from disk which just arrived today. Upgraded Cuda driver to 5.0.36 and want to know what RR driver to use. What is on RED for download is newer than what Davinci recommends. Should I go for it?

Second question - should I download 9.1 and just install it instead of 9.0 and upgrading?

 

[Bob Gundu]

I think you can just install the latest versions. I don't believe they are ever incremental upgrades.

 

[Ron Lagerlof]

Yeah, just discovered that I need to be on at least Lion, so upgrading to that now... Let's see what breaks...

 

[Tehben Dean]

Heres a bug.
Keeps crashing or messing up when I export an HDR clip. Also I cannot adjust any r3d settings on the HDR clip and I don't know if it's doing a blend or not.
Where do you turn the Rocket on and off?

 

[Tehben Dean]

I also have this problem where when I import an EDL from Pr I have to go through and manually choose the correct clip on a third of the clips because it doesn't know which is correct???

 

[Michael Romano]

if we could get plugin support for davinci I would be in heaven.

I think this might be a strength, not a weakness. Stability issues in NLE land are often related to 3rd party plugs. Plus, having to make looks on your own keeps your creative juices flowing!

All of the Avid DNxHD codecs seem to be missing in the Lite version, both for MXF and Quicktime. Is anyone else seeing this problem?

• Option to automatically render the same number of audio channels as source audio

Peter-
I can't seem to find/activate this option. Is there anything special that needs to be done?
Thanks!

If you are in the mode to render the individual clips, as you would for dailies or round trip, the audio channel number pulldown will have the option.
