I've noticed it's becoming more common for employers to request knowledge of DaVinci Resolve.
So I've downloaded the Lite version with the intention of teaching myself how to use it, or at least get an idea of how it works.
I've downloaded and installed it but I keep getting the following error:
"No OpenCL Acceleration Hardware Detected!"
"Please quit and install a OpenCL accelerated GPU"
I'm running a 2012 MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz, Intel i7 8GB RAM, 512 Graphics card.
You'll have to forgive my naivety about this. But how do I resolve this issue?
Failing that, are there any short courses available? I thought it might help me find some work.

Hi Robert, i had that problem when using version 8, there is a newer version out 9, which works fine on mine, which is a mid 2010 mac pro. What OS are you running, looking at your specs you should be fine, what type of card have you got ati or nvidia, i cannot remember what card came with the 2012 macs.

Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion)
In Graphics/Displays it's saying: Chipset Model: Intel HD Graphics 3000
Type: GPU
Vendor: Intel
I'm really not sure why it isn't working, also it's version 9 that I'm trying to use.
Maybe I need to do the old, off and on trick! Because that fixes everything right? lol

Yeah, with Resolve you need a dedicated GPU (graphics processor), mines a older model but with two graphics cards, the on board one like yours and a extra NVIDIA card. Sorry dude i cant see you running it!

Download gfxCardStatus from the internet somewhere
This will allow you to force your Macbook Pro to use the Nvidia GPU and not the Intel one. This may allow Resolve to run.
If you have an NVidia card in the MacBook Pro you should also install the CUDA drivers, this may be a possible reason for Resolve not recognising your card.
Hope this helps,

Thank you very much for your help. I'll definitely look into this further it'd be a shame to give
up on it, especially with the Lite version being free.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Many Thanks again,
Rob

Yeah, its a great product for being free, there are not many differences between the normal and lite, i think the main one is that you cannot grade 2k and 4k, however i might be wrong, but for short films and to learn on its great!

Yep that's exactly it! Unless someone is kind enough to offer me job working in the film industry (even as a behind the scenes videographer or a runner) I don't think I'll have to worry about it too soon :).. unless I start a Kickstarter project. theres an idea.
