Trying to round trip to Premiere Pro with R3D 6K files. Crashing every time. Very frustrating. Pretty much tried everything including resolution changes, removing noise reduction and even having export at 5 frames per second.

System:

27" iMac late 2013
3.5ghz intel core i7
32GB 1600MHz DDr3
NVIDIA GeForce 780M 4096 GB

Have uploaded crash logs.

Would be good to know what the issue is and whether there is a solution that doesn't mean going down the iMac Pro route.

Thanks

Your GPU with 4 GB VRAM will be the bottleneck.
You don't need an overpriced iMac Pro, a PC or a Hackintosh would do.

You are using an unsupported OS version with Resolve 14.3.

OpenCL errors are causing the crashes.

Could be related to the OS in use.

Since you have an NVIDIA GPU, using CUDA GPU processing mode could work better. You can select that in Resolve Preferences - System - Hardware Configuration.

You would need to have the CUDA driver installed. You can look in Mac System Preferences. If CUDA is installed, there will be a CUDA selection in the bottom row of the Preferences window.

If you are using a Resolve timeline resolution higher than HD, the 4GB of VRAM could also be an issue. But that doesn't seem to be indicated in the logs.
