You have absolutely saved me, thanks so much for this easy to understand tutorial. I have been struggling for months to learn to edit with Davinci and have been greatly hampered by the lagging and skipping in my timeline. Playback is smooth and I can now finally make cuts without going back over the same spot 6 times. I can't thank you enough.
This is it. The lagging solution video to end all lagging solution videos. You saved my project and with it secured that I can keep my client. He filmed in 265 4K with 60fps and now everything runs smooth as butter. Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed. THANK YOU, SIR, You were sent by God.
Thank you so much for the detailed video! Clearing the cache under Delete Render Cache really helped smooth things out during editing. The jumping and skipping in the playback were so frustration. Before I watched this video I looked like your thumbnails. 👏👏👏
Wow! You save my day! Thank you so much! I just bought the R6 and use it to shoot a lot of videos. The shooting is fun. But, when I come to the editing part, it is so painful. The pain go away after I saw this video. Thank you again!
Glad this can make the editing part of your workflow a better experience. 😊 We love the Canon R6 and 10bits 4.2.2 is great for color grading. H.265 is simply not a suitable editing codec. Thank you for watching!
Thank you! Proxies with DNxHR SQ completely solved the lagging for me. I had never tried it before simply because it cost computing power upfront. My typical workflow includes browsing my library (5 terabytes) for clips and throwing them directly into the timeline. This wasn't amenable to generating proxies because I would have to make proxy files for everything I capture with my camera (encodes in H.265). I've rearranged my workflow to require a bit more planning for the clips I want to make proxies of. However, it's well worth it since I now get perfectly smooth playback - including massive timelapse files. Thank you, again, for taking the time to show the community the proper way to handle H.265 media!
Glad you found this helpful. 😊 Using low bitrate proxies can be a lifesaver, particularly when dealing with a lot of footage as DNxHR SQ is CPU friendly and doesn’t require an excessive amount of space.
Guess i need the crash course on this subject... thanks for your hard work and sharing your knowledge, to think a person once had to go to college and pay an ass load to get training like this... and honestly this is way better than any class i took.
Thank you so much for your videos , I’m a new creator just started having trouble with the render que taking to much time ~ I watched many videos , just only your videos made me understand it well~ More Power! & God Bless ! ~
Man this video is awesome you had great in depth knowledge of the program. i had watched a ton of videos on davinci to speed up and stop lagging while playback but i was not able to find the root cause but this video really helped me to solve and understand the program. thank you soo much Mann . keep going don't stop. 😍😍😍❤ from Travel with Mr delilvery.
Maaaan you are so underrated, very well explained. I save up so much time now without these super annoying lags, big thank you man! Greetings from Freiburg, Germany!
I have been searching for a fix to my lagging and stuttering issues for SO damn long now... NEVER did it occur to me that having my recorded clips on a HDD would course such issues. Swapped them to my SSD and now it runs as smooth as butter. Cheers mate.
oh thankfully, within the 3minutes of your video, my playback finally smoothen after checking youtube ang searching google on how to work on it as I am trying to preview a video collage of 6 videos. wow such a help. thank you
I love how he speaks in french using english words! :D. Thanks for the video, I didn't grasp much as a total noob but generating proxy media solved the issue.
Haha thank you! 😅 Proxies give the best performance so you got the essential. The rest is particularly useful when you start adding effects or heavier color grading.
I don’t normally comment on TH-cam but after watching numbers of videos about this issue i found this video which is agame changer to me you deserve my subscription with a like and tap a bell in that I don’t miss any of your videos thank you bro from another mother
Thanks for this, idk why I didn't lower time timeline resolution to begin with! I render in 1440p, but having the playback the same was making DaVinci lag quite a lot.
Even though this video is a year old it actually prevented me from going bald, mad thanks for that. Will not subscribe as I would not guarantee a click on new content and would not want to be a detriment but you are a legend and a scholar ;)
After searching and searching thank God I found your video! Your video helped me fix my playback problem, simple and easy once I understood the problem. Thank you !! Great step by step instructions !
FANTASTIC VIDEO. Thank you so much for your truly excellent explanation. Your teaching style is so clear.. i have been searching for days to find someone who could explain proxies and cacheing.. you have done it! The structure and logic of your video is the best..
Thank you so much. I just started to learn video editing. I used to work as an audio engineer so I got the basics for video editing, but this is really helpful to get a better workflow in video editing. I just downloaded Davinci 2 days ago and learning it. I’m very lazy with video editing. I’d like to try vlog while riding my bike. See how I go. Again, thank you so much. 😊🙏🏽
Hey, happy to help. Just like for most things, good preparation and organisation gives a much better workflow and make for a much more enjoyable experience. DaVinci Resolve is a great tool that offers a ton of features to make editing faster and easier. A great first step to get familiar with the software and making sure that you don’t develop bad habits is the free beginner course offered by BlackMagic on their website. They provide all the ressources to learn while building a proper project. We’ll also have more practical tutorials coming soon. 😊
legit saving my life rn, this has been killing me and I literally only have a laptop rn (that's not a mac), didn't know this was going to be such a thing
bro. the proxy render setting is a complete game changer!! feel like that setting alone could have been the whole video with a mic drop... I have a mac pro 12 core and was wondering why I was still getting all that lag... thank you so much for the help!!
Thank you this was amazing and the most easy to understand and fastest way I have learned to speed up my work in Davinci - This one was the best - Thank you for making it so easy!!!!
Absolutely fantastic video! Have seen a few videos before and no one explained this topic so great like you. Just simple, clean and straight to the point. Subbed, thank you very much! :D
Disagree. He spends 11 minutes talking about codecs and stuff, like, get to the point. We want to know how to fix the issue, not a documentary on file types.
I am using the free version and my file codec is H.264 [4k 60 fps]. That was causing the lag. Render cache and timeline resolution worked for me. Thanks..
I'm not a pro but I have many hours of underwater video that I will edit on a modern, graphics-capable desktop. Editing on a poorly performing timeline is deeply frustrating and unpleasant. This is a well detailed explanation of why my GoPro 9 4K video was so difficult to edit, despite implementing the cache and proxy "fixes" found on other sites. None of them detailed how unscrambling the recording codec was such a big deal. Back to work for me!
H.264/265 recording is so widespread among modern cameras that most users understandably think that they should be able to edit their footage without hurdle. Glad we could clarify few points and hopefully, make your editing experience better.
another tip I have found on page 161 of Beginners Guide Lessons - the online DaVinci Resolve tutorials - "TIP You can switch back to the Keyframes Editor and hide the video scopes when the scopes aren’t needed to free up your graphics card’s processor and improve playback performance." Hope this helps someone else as well. Cheers my friends.
Hi, this is he best video about Davinci timeline playback. You saved me a lot of time. In the middle of the video you show that CPU is struggling with real-time playback, will the CPU upgrade will help with it somehow or even maxed out CPU will still work at 100% ? Cache takes time and it is a bit annoying when the timeline starts to lag during editing process. I am looking for way to have it seamlessly. Usually I have material from 3-4 different cameras with 4K resolution and all of them have different codecs.
Hi, thank you for your comment! A CPU upgrade can’t hurt but first, you need to pin point where is the bottleneck in your hardware and workflow. Footage access (Disk) -> Frame Decoding (CPU if no dedicated decoder) -> Effects and color grading computing (CPU and GPU)-> Image processing (GPU) -> Cache Writing (Disk). So depending of the type of footage you are working with (H.264, H.265, ProRes, Raw?), you will have vastly different results and as shown in the video, the CPU will max out no matter what if it has to decode H.265 footage even before it can compute anything else. You can brute force the decoding with a very powerful CPU but this will always be an intensive process and why the industry works with proxies. If you are a one man shop handling Editing, color grading and VFX, this is be a balancing act between visual quality and playback performance as pages like Color and Fusion are not designed for smooth playback but pixel perfect image processing.
Thank you very much! We’ve been very busy with projects and remodeling part of the studio but it won’t be long before new videos start flowing on our channel.
@@CoreAndBlue Glad to hear you're back with a new video tutorial. I hope that covid and the local government don't take away our independence so we can share with others. Thank you, greetings from Indonesia.
Was wondering why the cache was so slow, thanks! I might have to turn this feature on again. Just sucks how much hd space it uses and doesn't flush automatically. I wish Resolve had a RAM playback like AE
What are YOUR best practices to improve DaVinci Resolve performance? Editing only as the color and Fusion pages have their own workflow.
Proxies. I import all the media, then generate the proxies over night and on,h the next day I start editing.
That’s a good practice! Are you recording in camera with H.264 or H.265?
@@CoreAndBlue h.264. But I have a very slow / low spec laptop, so I need all the "help" I can get.
@Alex That’s amazing! Glad we could make it a better experience for you.
