It is strange. Hi Terry, are you sure you have installed latest Davinci from official blackmagic website, not from another?

And I see the issue goes away when the Contrast node is bypassed.

I've asked the dev team to take a look. Please leave that .dra link active for a few days, if possible.


Can someone please assist with this, I have basically lost the ability to use Contrast in my Color Grades.

I have it set to automatic. Although, the issue occurs in the final render. I don't see the flickering in playback on the project.

Can you disable it? I'm fishing in seeing if the issue is in generating the frames or saving it to drive

Hello everyone. I agree with you that the problem exists. I have been experiencing flickering in the timeline playback and rendering results, which makes it difficult for me to use the color grade page. I have spent a lot of time trying to understand what is causing this issue. I have tried reinstalling drivers, installing new Linux versions, and changing various settings, but I have not been able to fix the flickering.

My current setup is:
OS: Linux
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT
Memory: 128 Gb
Graphics: Nvidia RTX 4060

To try and determine which version of the software was causing the problem, I decided to install different versions and see if the issue persisted. Here are the results:
18.6.2 - no problem, this version works correctly
logs_no_flickering_18.6.2.tgz
logs-no-flickering-18.6.2
(104.05 KiB) Downloaded 41 times

18.6.6 - flickering
logs_flickering_18.6.6.tgz
logs-flickering-18.6.6
(100.63 KiB) Downloaded 40 times

19.0.3 - flickering
logs_flickering_19.0.3.tgz
logs-flickering-19.0.3
(100.63 KiB) Downloaded 42 times

19.1.3 - flickering

I would like to share some advice for users who are experiencing this issue. Using version 18.6.2 has fixed the problem for me. I also hope that developers can investigate this issue further. I have attached logs and a video through Google Drive.

I don't know how to attach links to video. Forum doesn't allow me to public urls.

Edit

I also included links to videos (Google Drive) for each version:
18.6.2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NDCGDZ ... 6Ncz-/view
18.6.6: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1my0ZjW ... ltviO/view
19.0.3: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sDvAGO ... DxVuo/view

New forum users are not allowed to post URLs.

Just put a space near the front of the URL, so the forum system doesn't see it as a URL.

I don't see anything obvious in the logs. Seeing the issue could be helpful.

Thanks Steve. Indeed that appears to be the case.

@Terry: I pinged the dev team about this on the 21st and they were going to get back to me. When I get a response, I'll pass it along.

I can confirm this. On fedora system,
18.6.2 no flickering
18.6.6 flickers
19.1.3 flickers

It is a resolve issue. Nothing to do with hardware or OS.
And color grade using fusion color corrector works fine. This issue is limited to color nodes in color page.

Hello *

I also have this issue on my Nvidia 3050Ti 4GB Linux.
Currently 18.6.2 is the version I use even though 20 is in Beta and is about to come out.

Please Black Magic, fix this bug!
You could already reproduce the bug. What is holding you to fix it so your customers (people who bought Studio version) are happy using your product?

Please generate a Resolve diagnostics log from the Resolve Help menu: Create Diagnostics Log on Desktop and put it on a file sharing site and provide a link to the file here.
