After I've seen the recent Adobe rant from Corridor Crew I thought I should give Resolve a whirl as I can feel their pain with AE and PR.
Sadly the UI scaling (or lack there of) is THE showstopper issue that will keep me from switching to Resolve until fixed.
I am using an LG 38GL950G (3840x1600) display.
Resolve 18 outright *IGNORES* the 150% scaling setting in Windows 10 -> Text and icons are too small to read from normal viewing distance as it renders at 100% scaling
When you go the route to enforce the windows 10 150% scaling through the properties of the shortcut -> Compatibility:
- text gets larger but very blurry
- video clean feed is now missplaced (does not fill up the screen, part of the image is missing)
When you go the route of enforcing a scaling factor of 2 as explained here
- Code: Select all
"C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -WindowStyle Hidden "$Env:QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO=1;$Env:QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=2;start 'C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Resolve.exe'"
then the UI is *WAY* too large to use.
I also tried the suggestion to set a custom scaling value of 149 (which Windows does not recommend you to do) then this does not affect the UI scale of Resolve in any way on my system.
It honestly boggles my mind that users have been rightfully complained about this for years but nothing was done about it by the developers so far.
Either most users have perfect eye sight or just the right monitor for the Resolve UI to be readable.
Assuming it isnt already, this issue has to be made a top priority as I don't think that I am the only one who won't use Resolve because of it.
