Hello,
My name is Jason and I am an aspiring colorist. I am still in school, and want to begin working with Resolve on my Macbook Pro to learn the software and get some experience before I invest in a higher-end system.
Here are the details of my laptop:
Macbook Pro 15" bought in 2010 (not retina display)
Intel Core i7 (2.66 GHz)
Two Cores
4gb RAM
Running OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
I'm told I need Lion or better to use Resolve 10. I installed a 9 Lite completely fine, and have been trying to use it. However, when i drag the mouse across something, for instance adjusting a power-window, my computer suddenly crashes. My screen flashes and goes black and my computer makes a "beww" sound. The keys stay lit and I can't do anything until I hold the power button, turn it off, and reboot.
My question is, is my computer just too weak to handle grading basic HD footage? I know that Davinci calls for 8gb of ram, and at least a quad core. But I would really like to avoid purchasing a new system until I can get a good foundation with Resolve. Am I completely out of luck?
Best Regards,
Jason
