My footage is clean when I view it outside Davinci Resolve but when I bring it into Resolve all of a sudden it has white dancing noise mainly around high contrast areas of the footage. I'm not using colour management and the noise is there even when I bypass the colour effects.

Any ideas?

This sounds like a hardware issue, can u detail everything as per the FAQs?

Thanks for getting back to me Peter. Not sure what you mean detail everything per faqs? Do you mean what are my computer specs?

PROCESSOR: Gulftown 980x EXTREME Socket 1366 3.33GHZ
MB: P6X58D-E
MEMORY: DDR3 16GB
GPU: GEFORCE 1070 Ti 8GB DDR5

I dunno if you got to see the image I posted as I don't know If I did it right. But the noise is flat white dancing noise along high contrast edges/detail of an image. So typically a door frame or a window frame or the edges of a cube or sphere where there is a strong contrast between the highlights and the shadows. It's like a 'specle' jumping around those edges. It looks digital as in tiny squares.

I've checked all the video in question outside of Davinci Resolve and they're fine. These artifacts only occur inside Davinci Resolve and do not need to have had any colour grading effects applied to display this. They seem to be affected simply by being inside the application. I'm not using colour management or luts.

Hope this helps.

We cant see the image.
what specific GPU driver is installed?
what is the source res of the file?
Timeline res?

I'm running an Nvidia 27.21.14.5671 driver for my GPU Driver.
Source res straight from the camera is 3840x2160
My timeline res is 1080 x 800

The artifact is there regardless of the scaling.

Thanks
John

Can you show us the noise? A screen grab maybe?

I've sorted it Jim and Peter. As peter hinted earlier HARDWARE. I updated my GPU driver to the latest one. There's even a special Creative driver for my GPU i didn't know about. But it's been geared towards 3D render and Video as opposed to gaming. I think the GForce Experience app just asumes you're a gamer and downloads the latest game driver. I manually installed this one and the issue just went away.

Thanks to you both for taking the time to chime in. I appreciate it. Also is it possible to SAVE a compound with other shared nodes inside it that remain editable inside the compound node to share with many other clips in the same project?


thanks
John

GeForce Experience does allow you to choose between Gaming and Studio drivers. (I use this myself. Great way to update drivers. No restart needed.)
