Resolve 12b2 - Intel GPU support on Mac and Windows
Posted: Tue Aug 04, 2015 5:24 am
I hope this is the right place in the forum to leave Beta2 feedback.
The announcement posting is locked and doesn't name a forum or thread to use for feedback.
The new features state "Intel GPU support on Mac and Windows".
However with a "MacBook Pro (13 Zoll, Ende 2011)" and "Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB"
(the last hardware that still supports mechanical HDDs big enough for preparing
footage on the train AND fitting the tiny tables on German high speed trains)
it complains about "No OpenCL hardware found" and then CRASHES as soon as any
kind of footage is opened.
Since there is the inevitable, annoying reply of having to use current or desktop hardware:
Yes, I'm using a 4 year old laptop.
Yes, I know it's going to be terribly slow and I don't care.
Yet I'd really like to ingest and sort footage or export intermediates with tiny modifications on a train ride before doing the actual work on a stationary workstation.
Even if I where to pay the extreme prices for Apple soldered-in memory, current MacBooks
no longer offer mechanical disks. There is no space in these trains for external drives.
The latest laptops don't even offer more then 1 USB port and no thunderbolt2 port
(singular, since it must be the 13" one)
for connecting my existing desktop hardware without a rat's nest of a dozen adaptors.
