Vegas Pro & Resolve Lite Post workflow

Cliff Etzel wrote on 2/24/2015, 8:18 AM
In my continuing process of gradually moving over to Vegas Pro, I've been looking into Resolve Lite more and wondered if there are others here on the forums using it in their post production pipeline.

One thing I wondered is how well does Resolve utilize the Radeon GPU compared to nVidia CUDA?

One issue I seem to be running into in my testing is I cannot seem to get Resolve to utilize my second monitor attached via DVI - is this a known issue? I can't seem to find any answers regarding that.

Well here are couple videos on topic:

I just stumbled across this thread. Any fix yet?

Unfortunately for me the work around is not a workable solution for me.

I purchased (recently) Vegas Pro 13 to use as my main editor because it did XML , it talked reasonably with Blackmagic Resolve, and Plural Eyes worked for Vegas.

I've slapped all my cash down for these products but now I've run into this 'bug' It is a real problem:

I'm trying to roundtrip files from Resolve to Vegas and then back to Resolve for final color correction.

I need Resolve to handle DNG sequences and create proxies (H264 - MPEG4 does not play back well or look good in Vegas). I then need to edit with these proxies, export an XML and do final color in Resolve.

I can't even get past the first step which is loading a bunch of H264's in Vegas so I can sync the sound with Plural Eyes.

Do any Sony techs pay attention to this forum?
Is there a way of getting decent tech support from Sony?

I'm new to this Sony family and things are starting off....ummmm, problematically. I hope I don't have to go to Premiere to see if I can get the bloody path to work...

They are having some problems at Davinci with AMD GPU's and current 11.2.1. try rolling back to 11.1.3 available on their download page. They are working on it.
The AMD's work well in 11.1.3 and I'm sure they will fix it rapidly....unlike some other software's ... they quickly and publicly acknowledge glitches in their forum and fix them rather rapidly.
