The embarassment of the splash screens...

If you "really" feel that way, and it's not just some troll post, I think there is a deeper problem here.

Oh, lordy. Speaking of "getting a thicker skin", if it's a "non-issue" (with 3055 views and counting) why respond at humorless length, slaying the wicked left and right, or by suggesting somebody is either a troll or mentally ill for even raising it?

Thicker skins, as you demand, would appear to be in short supply....

Sure bud.

I'm the one crawling under my desk right now because I'm embarrassed to see the splash screen.
They are fine and good-looking, and I enjoy them. I'm being positive towards the person who made them, in opposition to those who are literally scared of them.

And by the way, those "3055 views" aren’t all real. Search bots are constantly crawling the forum, hitting threads when they're posted and whenever there's a response.

As for the "real" views, not everyone is reading the whole thread either. So don't think for a second that forum views are an actual indication of anything. The number of posts in a thread and how long it’s been active are much better indicators of how it's doing.

Sure, there are tons of passive readers, but I highly doubt most of them are sitting there like, "YES, finally, a thread about those icky splash screens!"

Sarcasm and "ewwww me no liky" need to be met with the same energy. I’m not 12, and I’ll absolutely mock any adult, whether online or in real life, who acts like this (because, honestly, it’s entertaining too). If you want to be taken seriously, then say something important or at least share your thoughts in a less childish way.

(a) Like I said, when someone post something about the most subjective thing, "art work" that has ZERO IMPACT on what the software does, there are other people who LIKE THEM.

There are ways to convey a sentiment, ...and ewwww is never the way.

I had the same approach for the thread about the "religious problem" of the splash screen.

Imagine thinking that after the first "trigger," everyone who responds differently is also "triggered," lol. That’s not how it works... unless we’re talking about kids.

It’s just an excuse to avoid holding the first person accountable for something dumb they said or did: "No no no, if you call me out, you’re the hypocrite." Classic childish response, same vibe.

If OP was like : I don't really like the splash-screen, maybe they should work more on them.
I wouldn't even respond, or I would just say: Nah, they're fine, I like them - And say the same thing as pont (a) in a more positive way.

You know, it makes me laugh lol.

The splash screens remind me of a bad dream where I had a beautiful, expensive huge room with designer furnishings and the best looking equipment, but nothing worked properly. The client smiled sweetly throughout my desperation to make something happen but everything descended into chaos!

I don't take this thread seriously. Life is too short to worry about marketing nonsense!

Just adding my opinion that the models in the splash screen looks unbelievable (in a bad way).

And hoping this thread gets as many response as The Final Gamma thread (LOL).

Impossible, simply because this thread does not have the word "final" in it!

Life *is* marketing nonsense, and unlike the Final Gamma Thread, this one might actually lead to a conclusion.

You see this "uncanny valley" thing in all the BMD ads, the lovely undead engaged in production and post-production, making all the immortal movies that only the truly dead will have the patience to watch. So maybe the advertising dept. will give up the campaign for us. Or at least dignify the splash screen. That'll be worth at least the 855 posts on the "final" thread.

So folks, get going. We've only got about 800 or so to go, although some of the "non-issue" posts here are so tedious and self-important, they should each count for dozens. If not hundreds.

On the actual people pictured in the splash screens.

I've worked in and around Melbourne, AU, for many years, I know some of the faces.

Very disturbing to see to be honest

A couple of points that haven't been mentioned (I think).

1. How long are you looking at the splash screen. DVR 19.0.1 takes 7 seconds to launch on my base model M2 Mac mini. Surely that's no big deal?

2. I rarely shutdown DVR or my Mac, which just like me sleeps soundly overnight.

Oh! And by the way, I rather like the splash screens but then I am an amateur!

You can't have too much of a good thing.

BTW, anybody remember the Resolve splash screen with the drunken client on the left, getting sloshed on wine, during a color session? It almost doesn't matter, since all the lights are on in the room...

Are you kidding?! This is the only good one. It's hot as hell. He is her bitch.

Hey, you misquoted Videoneth. This was my post, not his. Only I would talk about a client getting sloshed on wine in a color session.

BTW, we still won't allow anybody with open containers near the color console -- especially wine glasses. Sealed coffee mugs, sure. Sealed water bottles, of course. But no wine glasses.

I'm so sorry. I fixed that! Are we sure she is on the vino though? I can see her fingers through the glass quite clearly. Is it an impudent Pinot Grigio? Or is she slugging Grey Goose whilst delivering a scathing rebuke of his latest inept color moves?

Has anyone ever found the resource / image location on the Mac build for splash screens? Would love to change my splash screen (or a colleague's) as a fun prank.

Personally I would like to be able to personalize the splash screen with my company images

Should be a png somewhere, I dint they include directly in code. With Adobe was easy to do in past, some colleague of me do that.
I’m frankly not interest of appearing before software starting but it’s my attitude to do more things at same time

Thanks all for a thread to read and giggle thru on a Monday morn with a coffee.

Oh and BTW: Definitely show the *entire* version number.

I ain't too proud to drink wine from a sippy cup. To make Art, one must be willing to sacrifice.

Maybe. Maybe not. They might turn the png into ones and zeros and bake it into the program at compile time. Saves the overhead of reading the file and converting it into something viewable every time you start.

I won't drink alcohol at all while on the job, not even a beer. I figure one of us in the room has to be coherent. But after the session, all bets are off.

I think the absolute worst kind of spill has to be spilled coffee. God help you if that mess gets into a control surface and keyboard: milk, coffee, and sugar are very bad for electronics in general.

All the room lights are on, so it almost doesn't matter.

i prefer any of the splash screens to a bsod

Or mixing audio with their speakers pointing away from them.

Wim

Some pro audio engineers will sit in a different room from the speakers to check the mix levels. (I read that somewhere).

you are right.

in past was a png in this path :
Windows: C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\splash.png
macOS: /Applications/DaVinci Resolve.app/Contents/Resources/splash.png

Now seems embedded in Exe, there a way to change it (but i never think to modify an exe directly)
if someone want to do that here the instruction :
https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve ... sh_screen/

all Resolve interface is a tons of .bmp that you can find in inner folders, for mac you can open package and find them in the resource/ui_resourse folders.

it's funny that interface button are bmp, and splash page is encoded in the executable.

If someone really wants to change the splash screen, I think the best way is using DorinDXN's Lazarus code. It can be modified:
