i failed...i did exactly as said but i failed...your tutorial seems legit and all but even after doing that i cant enter inside the program, at least i tried

[sunnflowerr]

Ugh, thank you so much!!! I've been trying to figure this out for weeks, I spent so much time learning this program and it started acting up out of nowhere! I didn't want to start all over with a new program for the 4th time 😅 this finally allowed me to get back to my project, along with changing the processing mode to CUDA in the davinci resolve memory and GPU preferences.

Thank you, easy to follow and straight forward. Very much appreciated! :)

Thankyou so much!! I though this was gonna be a big problem and I might not be able to use DaVinci. But you gave a solution so feasible! Wish all the tutorials were this good. Thanks a lot once again!

I JUST had this issue pop up and was searching for a fix. Thank you so much! Helped me tremendously!

I got so worried when i was booting it up but then this video really helped! its a simple guide for simple people.

I need a little help here, so, when i go to the "Graphics Settings", then locate "Resolve.exe", and then clicked on the "Options", i just find out that both 2 options are the same. Say, the power saving setting is "AMD Radeon R5 Graphics", and the high performance setting is also "AMD Radeon R5 Graphics". Any idea? Please help. Thanks!
(Mine is AMD Radeon R5 Graphics.)

Bro, you saved my edits!
It always took a long time to render using the CPU, but now that I've enabled the GPU it's going much faster.
I am very grateful for making this video. Hugs from Brazil! 👊🏻❤

did the recommended settings changes, rebooted several times, still getting the error message - and no video

[Doubledownbeats]

I am certain your application works under the desirable conditions. My GPI issue still stands. Could it be my processor? i5-5337u Inter R Core TM 1.80 GHz. If so can I still use a lesser version of Davinci Softwares?

[garrettknighton]

Where can I find the beautiful background/wallpaper that you have in the video?

[shouavangu]

This video worked !! Thank you so much! Highly recommend.

[JosephBoit]

Thank you for the straight forward explanation. Be blessed
