How about transcoding your footage first?

Neither does it work with Intel graphics on a Mac.

But I can work quite snappy on my i7 MacBook Pro with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M (1GB) until I use any of the advanced features like temporal denoiser or optical flow.

I am running Resolve on my Windows 7 home pc with 12GB RAM, 3GHz i7 and a GTX570 Nvidia (1GB) - ultra smooth playback of RAW files even with multiple nodes applied. I am disappointed though that on my new Laptop it does not run (Intel HD4400 graphics card), it crashes (windows 7). I hope future versions of Resolve will support Intel graphics. I would accept sloppy playback, but it does not work at all.

Yep, I've seen the manual but I know what works and doesn't work for me from experience. I'm running a system with the i7 3770, 32GB of ram and the 680 gtx 2GB. I max the card out all the time.

Temporal NR in Resolve is not that great and Neatvideo will run just fine with 2 GB, but not RT.

If anything is native in Resolve, it doesn't get transcoded until you render out – it's not like FXP-X where formats that are hard to decode should be converted (aka optimized) to ProRes. Internally Resolve works in 32 bit float, so no degradation at all. But that means serious hardware for sure.

I wonder if MTS support will decode clips from the settings like Moon T7 and if there'll be any digital rain, though.

CC apart, this new main release contains over 70 new editing features and is now a full-fledged editing solution.

Previous version, Resolve 10, already had some basic NLE feature as well. Anyone has tried using it as NLE? Any Feedback?

I'm an Edius lover and I should migrate to version 7 spending a lot of money... I saw that the free resolve lite has everything I should ever need and more but I'm a bit scare of its learning curve and speed on a computer like mine: Intel Core i7-2600K CPU @3.40GHz, 8,0GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics + ATI HD7850 on Win7 64bit. I'm able to edit my 140Mb AVCHD files straight into Edius without transcoding. I can add several filters and CC on several tracks and still be able to play in real time. Furthermore it's able to use Intel Quick Sync technology for H.264 hardware encoding so export process it's blazing fast.

Does anyone have a fast link to minimum hardware requirements for Lite ?

Anyone know what "Decoding of Panasonic MTS Video" means? Is that a process that converts the MTS to something else for use in Davinci? If so, any image quality issues?

Will have to download and try the Davinci Lite. I'm curious how good an editor it is vs Premiere Pro.

FCPX is NOT an abomination. It may not be everything you want from an NLE, but don't exaggerate.

I went through the new feature set for Editing. The play now becomes obvious, they're shooting for feature parity with traditional NLEs (except the FCPX abomination with which will interop perfectly). The value proposition then becomes "why do the offline editing thing over there and come here for online/color/finishing when we have the kitchen sink - for free". That's how they'll sell the next million Decklinks.

@Craig_R Nice! I love Resolve but converting mts files to something else was too much hassle.
