I recently and "happily" changed from Premiere Pro to Resolve for acceptable system stability - PR crashed 20x/day for large projects.. couldn't take it anymore. Resolve rarely crashes on the same system and projects
I'm use Resolve Studio v14.3.0.014 on a powerful mac High Sierra 10.13.3
I really love the new Resolve but I have a serious problem with poor Optical Flow quality in Resolve compared to PR and FCPX quality for the same source clips at 50% slow down and same process/timeline settings. I have correctly selected DR "Optical Flow" in clip Retime Inspector, and tried all combinations of global retime motion estimation combos with no improvement. I agree the clips are more than just someone jumping up and down against a wide static background, but PR & FCPX handle them well, producing acceptable quality.
What I see is:
1. Resolve Optical Flow creates blurred (looks like frame-blended ?) new frames at 50% speed slow down - played back, I see a pulsating sequence of normal sharp frames flashing with blurred newly generated frames. If I select Frame-Blended Retime Process than the resulting flickering is much more noticeable. Using PR & FCPX the new frames sharpness is similar to the original frames, so something in DR Optical Flow is not working properly ?
2. Resolve regularly creates artefacts - additional ragged trailing streaks on objects if the scene has both different speed background and foreground motion.
I tested these same clips with Last Nov 2017 PR and FCPX 10.4 where both "do not" have these errors.
Without resolving DR Optical Flow quality, I can only think to round trip to FCPX cause I really do not want PR anywhere on my machine I'd even fork out for Twixtor but no DR OFX support. Any suggestions ? A fix pre NAB would make many people happy
Again - love Resolve !
