I work as a freelance Digital Image technician. I rely on Apple ecosystem on films shot digitally or even on film format to color correct, transcode or check raw footage for feature films, ads, short films and various fashion films projects but the wired thing that I noticed is that when trancoding rushes for the edits in low res formats. The trancoding suddenly slows down from real time on a 16 GB ram on the latest Mac book Pro 15 inch retina display or over heats and makes the system crash a lot in the log in screen.
For example a trancoding is happening at 24fps (Frames per second) it slows down to 2 to 4 fps per second after sometime.
Only way to make it work is by pressing the power button risking a clone copy of the hard drive reopening the project and giving in and out points and continuing from the point the DaVainci slowed down and completed transcoding.
I am hoping for an update for Black magic product soon for this bug.
Some suggestions:
Disable the screen saver and switch of graphic switching
Revert back to old OSX
Wait for updates
UPDATES: Install Mavericks OSX and Install the latest version of DaVinci Resolve
