RESOLVE 9 MANUAL On page 71 their is a 30 page tutorial to get you started.
Make sure you download and read the configuration guide to make sure you have the right hardware installed. I glanced over it and it’s pretty close to what Reslove 8 requires.
I’m looking forward to learning this new release and have been putting off going to far with Ver.8. Just to much going on in my life to relearn another application. Ver 9 looks amazing. I spent a good half hour at the Blackmagic booth at NAB and the interface is so much cleaner and easier to work with. This should be a big hit. Now that the Beta is out I wonder if the Blackmagic Cinema Camera is going to ship soon?
Alexis Van Hurkman has a great blog. Check it out.
Seven New Features In Resolve 9
Here is the CUDA info from the Configuration Guide. VERY IMPORTANT.
DaVinci Resolve uses third party drivers which you may need to update depending on the GPU card you use and/or if you install a RED Rocket card.
You will also need to install the NVIDIA driver for the specific model of GPU card.
CUDA
The following CUDA update information is for Macs using any CUDA capable GPUs. Please skip past this section if your Mac contains GPUs from AMD/ATI. NVIDIA CUDA drivers are installed on your Mac when DaVinci Resolve is installed.
It is important to use the version of the CUDA driver which is certified for use with Resolve 9. The current certified CUDA driver is version 5.0.17.
If a new version of the CUDA drivers is released, avoid updating until verifying compatibility with Resolve.
If the message, “WARNING: No CUDA Acceleration Hardware Detected,“ appears when you launch Resolve, but your Mac contains the recommended NVIDIA GPUs, you will need to quit out of Resolve and update the NVIDIA CUDA drivers.
After quitting from Resolve, go to the Apple menu and choose System Preferences.
Click on the CUDA icon to reveal the CUDA Preferences and note the installed CUDA driver version.
If the installed drivers are older than the certified version listed on this page, avoid clicking on the “Install CUDA Update” button and instead visit www.nvidia.com/object/mac-driver-archive.html to download the certified drivers.
Once the certified CUDA drivers are installed, you will be able to successfully launch DaVinci Resolve.
RED
If you have a RED Rocket card installed in your Mac Pro, you will need to manually install the RED Rocket drivers and firmware from the RED website for use with Resolve 9.
The current certified RED Rocket driver is version 1.4.25 The current certified RED Rocket firmware is version 1.1.16.5. They are available for download from www.red.com/downloads.
