17.1.1 Bug: Working with Stills Causes GPU Error

PostTue Apr 13, 2021 12:00 pm

Opening imported still images (around 4k in size) in the Source viewer provokes a GPU error suggesting reducing the number of correctors. The stills are freshly imported and have no correctors.

The timeline has almost no correctors, and the ones present are very minimal.

I am of the opinion that the memory issue is a long standing bug in Resolve with nVidia GPU's that will require a fix from BMD to actually solve once and for all.

Unfortunately, I've seen no evidence that BMD agrees with me on that.

BM tech support suggested installing 462.31 Studio version of the NVIDIA drivers. It did not fix the issue.

That's what I mean. BMD seems to think it's a driver issue.

I believe it's deeper than that. I think it's a bug in Resolve itself.

I have not seen this in Mac OSX, so I suspect this is a Windows-specific problem. We had a project not long ago with about 40-50 stills per show (TIFF, PNG, JPG, you name it), and they weren't a problem.

What specific still format are you working with?

Only a handful of png files. You would think Resolve would have no issue with a few still images.
