Guys, be careful. We installed this on a friend's machine (Yosemite, 2014 Macbook Pro) and it turned into crash-o-matic. Only by going back to 1.2.1 were we able to get stable performance back.

I suggest keeping a backup of your 1.2.1 install!
 
One thing I've loved playing with, is loading older Sony F3 XDCAM (8-bit / slog1 / s-gamut the original) footage and changing the color space to slog2/sgamut color space and messing around with the dials..

Same setup here but it seems everything's working fine for now. Not played with iy for long though.

Everything works very fast, and exports work great 2.
 
Any issues are more than likely video card related.

olof - interesting to see that with Intel video card it is working ok. I am on ATI, (older Macbook). Does Davinci Resolve work ok with your Intel video card?

cheers

My MBP has dual cards:

It runs Resolve OK (auto switching as needed) but I use MBP only in the field, all serious editing grading is on a MP or TOL iMac with Eval monitors.
 
basic browser layout is a huge improvement . I hated it before. Now if we could only:
Have corrections live with individual files
allow batch export of files that are colored individually and
import user LUTs It would be great.
Kudos to Sony for sticking with these improvements though. Just when you've written them off.
 
What am I doing wrong? I see no difference whatsoever in the interface compared to the older version. All the tools seem to be exactly the same too.
 
Hmm - are you on mac or PC? I'm on Mac . Unless I was doing something wrong I found the previous version very clumsy and slow . The icons representing folders were very large and I had to do a lot of double clicking to navigate to the folder I wanted either find my files, or find the folder I wanted to export to. it was not a typical mac layout. Now it looks a lot like Content Browser with a hierarchical layout on the left of the window, small icons and its very quick to navigate.
 
Yes, I see now. It has an added column in the browser. Another difference I see is that values of sliders in color adjustment section can be entered numerically. Anything else? Is there really no "search" tool in a software that has "browse" in its title or maybe I just don't know how to access it?
