Resolve won't open on Mac

PostSat Dec 04, 2021 11:26 pm

Hi, I have been using the latest version of DaVinci Resolve 17.4.2 for a few months.

Last week, my program crashed and it won't open again. When I try to open DaVinci, the icon jumps once in my Dock and then a crash report opens. I never had any issues with DaVinci Resolve until then.

It happened a few minutes after I installed Farlight music library, I don't know if it might have something to do with it.

Thanks,

JF

It seems your MacBook has no GPU. Resolve needs one, and not the weakest.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.

I've been using Resolve for a month without any issues before it crashed.

Here, I updated my signature to include my graphics card.

Nevertheless that’s a pretty weak GPU. It has been the lower limit to run DR on a Mac for years.
Newer versions of DR get more demanding on the hardware and so I’d suggest to stick to the older system which works until you can afford a newer computer.
Just uninstall and install the older one. Your database should still be fine if it wasn’t damaged by the crash.

Hello.

I'm having the same problem here. When I open DaVinci (18.6.6) on my Mac, it crashes while loading the projects. I recently updated my OS to Ventura, that's when it started happening.

I'm new here, how do I send the Capture log?
