  • 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 :)

Trying to use DaVinci Resolve Lite 9 with my 15" Macbook Pro, 10.6.8...

hi Shane, could you advise, did you try these things?

First , downloaded the new Resolve 9.0.4 Lite, or full if u have a dongle, and install.
In the Mac system preferences select the CUDA icon and if you don't have the CUDA version 5.0.37 installed do that.
In the energy settings turn off the automatic graphics switching which is used to save energy, but stops Resolve from using the CUDA GPU.

1. What is the best transcoding resolutions in general for each shipment between RedCine then to Avid and then to Davinci and back to Avid?
I don't want to waste harddrive space obviously... what I just did was transcode to DNxHD 115 8 bit from RedCine into Avid, edit, send to Davinci, grade, and then send back to Avid at 115 8bit again and then export from Avid as same as source (gave me 1.77 gb file for 2 minute mostly 3kres video). Would I be better off just exporting from Davinci to save space if I can (though I know it doesn't read my ime ramps when I use speed bursts effect)? Is there a section where I could save space to make the file smaller?

and lastly... 2. How can I change the timeline resolution on Davinci when working off an AAF project? I notice when I grade on Davinci regularly I can control the output resolution under the "Camera Raw" tab, but when cutting a linked AAF file during my roundtrip process it only has the one option "Camera Metadata" or something and won't let me change it. If I was able to downsize the playback just a tad I think I could sue Davinci on my MBP at 100percent size rather than having to shrink it to 85...

Thanks so much for all your help guys, I'm super super stoked that I can start using Davinci finally...

Can anyone help me with either of these? The second one seems like it would be an easy thing to find but I haven't been able to figure it out... I can't find either in the manual even
 
Have sent report logs to Resolve support, waiting for their solution.
