This made my workflow 1000000 times faster !!! I thought I was going to need a new laptop. Feels like I upgraded instantly with just a few clicks. I wish I could leave 1,000 likes. Thank you Casey
THANK YOU!!! i am totally new to video editing, and i was getting really slow playback, from 2-6fps. I watched HOURS of tutorials to speed up playback (all the videos said to do the same thing, i changed all the settings they said to...nothing changed.) I didnt know i had to CREATE THE PROXIES!!!! I feel like an idiot, but i am so relieved that this video saved me from having to purchase a new computer right away!!!
There is a reason to read the manual.
Great explanation. I appreciate that you picked one workflow and explained it thoroughly, instead of giving us option paralysis. This was very helpful.
Learning new stuff all the time....really grateful to you Mr F
while proxies are very useful, the real trouble comes if you try to edit with effects, which cannot be played back in realtime even at quarter resolution. For this you need to use the render cache, but unfortunately the render cache only works if you are in full resolution mode. So pre-rendering that specific part of the video and playing it back while editing everything else quickly at quarter resolution at the same time is simply not possible with DaVinci at the moment. This is a huge slowdown in editing workflow and we haven't found any solution to this issue yet.
Does slow motion fall under this?
@@thriwaway7865i guess slow motion will still work
@@ProgrammistMusic sweet. Trying to edit skate videos and slow motion is really the only effect needed
Couldn’t you just use proxy’s to get all your footage cut up an place correctly in timeline. Slap on some transitions. Color graded it. An then render it out.
Then bring the rendered project back into Davinci under new project an solely focus on adding effects?
Serious question.
@@cardiivisionI would say that that's definitely an option.
I need to give you a huge thank you. My 10yr old rig (4790K / GTX970 / 16gb Ram) would edit ok with adobe, except with intensive transitions etc, but since switching to resolve before the mass adobe exodus happened, I had trouble even editing more than gopro footage (recently bought a ZV-E10) and when I seen this video I jumped for joy.
Its so nice to be able to just watch your footage back as your editing, not to mention scrubbing.
I know i need to upgrade, but to keep making content I need to buy more motorcycle parts LOL Its a vicious cycle LOL
That worked great! I'm loving your channel, you are my go-to for learning how to use Resolve.
Always great help Casey. Thank you.
WOW..! I found this by accident, but man did I need this info. I can't thank you enough. I'm generating some proxies right now, hoping it works as you showed. Thank you again..!
thank you for this! Worked brilliant - I don't have a lof of space on my laptop, so I was storing everything on an external harddrive. It was so slow, undeditable! but thanks to your video I was able to generate and save proxies on my laptop and I can't believe the difference it's made - I can edit my video now!
Super helpful and amazing video as always!! ❤
thanks so much. this is very helpful in my 4k 50pfs. i have a hard time editing. then you help me with this tutorial. good job Casey!
Really great video! Thanks so much for the clear and concise explanations.
Bravo, this saves me a lot of trouble..... well explained! Thank you.
Great tips! Really helpful. Thank you!
That was a great explainer and will be really helpful for a lot of people (and me in the future). Thanks Casey!
Hey Casey. I know you love doing these types of videos. I feel like "render in place" would be a good one to discuss in one of your future videos.
Brilliant information and speeds up editing a lot 😀. Have a lovely ending of the week everyone
Also I gotta say thank you for putting out well thought out consistently great quality work seriously 🙌
I reset everything to default for a BM tutorial and even tho I have an ok system it was struggling to render. I couldn’t remember what settings I changed to get it faster so this is so much appreciated!
Your videos are pure gold. Thanks a ton!
Now that's some quality content over here ✨
The best TH-cam channel for Davinci Resolve! I often use proxies but the tool which automatically converts the videos I did not know yet
This was so Helpful...Thank You Much ♥️♥️♥️
Cheers that was clear, concise and very helpful.
This is immense!! Thank you.
Amazingly helpful. Thanks!
Thank you, Casey! As usually very helpful tutorial! 👍😊
excellent explanation Casey, thank you
Very helpful and brilliantly explained - thank you!
Thank you, sir. I was only hoping last week you'd do an updated video on this subject.
This is a game changer for me! Thank you!!
GREAT VIDEO, thank you
OMFG this worked! I have a powerful gaming PC and I was wondering what was happening. Thanks Casey
Excellent video, thank you!
thank you! so helpful!
Man, you are a Davinci Genius! Thank you very much!
BROOO thank you...i have a 2023 Lenovo Laptop and it was sooo laggy but now my Videos are smooth🔥
Thank you my friend!
Thanks Casey, a great video and great tips. Muito Obrigado.
Resolve is soooo speedy now! Thank you 🎉
Great tutorial. Thank you for that.
Hi! This is greatly explained but I'm having trouble with the resolution translating adequately between both. When I save as "half" for example, and use the proxy in my timeline, crop/position the clip, the result changes once I click on "prefer camera originals" for the color grading. Since the resolution is half, once I go to the original, I get a different crop/zoom given the higher res. Any way to keep the framing consistent between both?
Hopefully I explained this clearly... Thanks!
Wow, thank you this was extremely helpful!
Thank you for this video. Very helpful.
Thank you for that!
I’m new to video editing but found DR18 and instantly thought this is the program for me, but my 2015 macbook really struggles with 1080p never mind 4k .. i’m hoping this will save the day!! Thanks
This made my day, I can actually edit now.
Very helpful, thank you 🙏
Thank you very much for this tutorial.
very helpful, thank you
Thanks! What is the difference between proxies and optimized media?
Wow this video came at exactly the right time for me!
This saved my bacon. And my bacon is delicious and important. Thank you Casey! I have your editing course on my shortlist.
thank you so much for your help
man that realy saved me ty!!!!
Solid information, good style and delivery. I have been using proxies but very clumsily or, as one might say, outright wrong (following stupid default settings).
My love-hate relationship with DaVinci continues. 💔
wicked! thanks from Malta! I have a very good PC, but davinci crashes for me a lot and this helps me not want to throw my PC into the sea. So, thank you!
Hi Casey, why not download the 4k footage into a 1080p timeline then just upscale it before rendering ? Isn't that a very much easier way ?
You are my hero.
Such great information ✊️😎
How do you deal with size/location distortion after rendering when working with proxies? I've recently spent hours trying to figure this out. It happened with a video I was doing with all stills (large PNG and JPEG files). Some of the stills were uber zoomed in and in the wrong location after rendering but looked exactly as I wanted them to on the Edit page. Very frustrating.
Casey, I have one question... If I always do my video only for TH-cam is it would be better to do it in 4K or it is not necessary and 1080p would be sufficient? Now I do my videos in 1080p and think about to change resolution to 4K. Will it be better?
unedited video playback is fine but can you make a video on how to get better playback after applying effect and other stuff. i switched from premiere and after effect for better performance but tbh davinci is pretty terrible at playback after applying effect or doing some fusion stuff. i cant get good playback without caching that have to recache after every minor change.
Very good, thank you
Cool the proxy generator is great. My PC struggled with iPhones 4Kh265 video. The best thing is that the generator media will be linked automatically in Davinci. Also you can see how much space it tooks. For a projekt it takes 6,8Gig instead if 88Gig proxies made by davinci itself.
I had (before Windows 11) Power Director and this program made proxies itself every time. It was way easier.
You just changed my life.
I have an m2 iPad Pro and I still use this for smooth playback for things like speed ramping and noise reduction. Now if I could just stop the edit page from crashing so often… it does seem to be better after purchasing studio for iPad tho.. any thoughts?
Yeah! Toasted Peanut butter! Thanks Casey! Awesome tip(s)!
Thank you brother really helpful video. :)
Awesome, thanks man o/
Brilliant thanks 🙏
Great tips!!!
very helpfull brilliant....
Question - What if I have RAW footage across multiple folders? Like Days 1, 2, 3 - Cards 1,2 ,3, 4 for each day. Do I have to set the watch folder manually for each card or just once for the master folder?
Secondly, how do I extract all the proxies to a separate hard drive to hand over to a different editor? Do I need to go into each subfolder and copy the proxy folder? Or is there a one step solution to copy all proxies while retaining the original folder structure?
Thirdly, once an editor hands over a project file after working on the proxies, does it link automatically to my original proxies/RAW or do I have to relink each subfolder manually?
Thanks everyone in advance.
Very helpful ❤
Question ❓ will the proxy files be deleted when you delete the project in davinci?
Hey Casey something different, I have done a freeze frame, I have then masked out part of it, I want to export it as a PNG or JPG however when I do it still comes out with the black background, do you know how to export a mask without background
Thank you so much
I do same things all you tell . It work smoothly also .but in last after render the project compare original and render video .quality difference. it not looking same quality as original. what should I do?
What's the difference between proxies and optimised media?
Fantastic
The beautiful (but overcast) Oregon coast. - Oregon footage is always good for tutorials. Are you from Oregon Mr. Faris?
What difference between Disable all proxies and Prefer Originals? Are they perform the same action if I need turn off proxies?
This video came right on time mate.
I just put back in its box my recently purchased razer blade 18 with rtx 4090.
Why ?
Because scrolling on a 4k RAW video files was very choppy. Only playback was smooth.
And on my macbook pro m1, when scrolling, everything was smooth as butter.
Not sure if i missed an option in davinci, but i got a feeling that a laptop with mobile rtx 4090 shouldnt have scrolling issues on davinci timeline.
Are all windows machines suffering from choppy scrolling while they have top tier hardware ?
I started using proxies to edit, does assist with playback (thank god as I was ready to throw my laptop out the window), however once I forgot to unlink proxies before rendering and final rendered result was horrendous. Are you sure if you forget to unlink proxies the program does it for you?
Omg i wish i knew about this ages ago, i was trying to make a LUT yesterday with 4K footage and my poor PC was like "bro wtf why" i have a decent system that can render out Fusion clips in 4 mins but this has saved my bacon.
After exporting Does the copy low Res video files get deleted automatically or do I have to delete manually all files?
Any Possibility of making the 4K clips available for download so one can test how powerful their 4 year old computer might be or NOT BE as the case may be. Thanks for the INFO Casey.
if i drag from media bin to the fusion tab, am i using the proxy or the original ?
Casey!!! Did you ever have the audio like de sync while editing and then it’s even out of sync on watching a TH-cam video by 2-3 seconds ? I have to restart the computer to fix - this computer is i9/ GeForce rtx 4090 /64gb ram
If someone give me their raw videos and proxies. I can edit on it right away or do I need to do anything in the master setting for proxy like make it the same setting as their proxies? Everytime I create a new project, the proxy setting in the master setting gets back to default.
Just some advice for people who capture footage via a program such as OBS, you NEED to make sure your PC can handle your encoder settings, otherwise your footage will contain some skipped frames and you will have trouble generating Proxies as a result. For me personally, I use a high quality encoder setting that uses less CPU power, but uses up more storage space.
which is?
I have a 4600h 32gb gtx 1650 4gb laptop...while the playback is good !!! The moment i put any resolve fx....it just slows !! Anyway to speed up that ?
bro I have an ideapad ryzen5 and i didnt even get any smoother playback after all that, but then again I dont know if it makes a difference but I dont really make video playbacks I just make audio spectrums that react according to the music played and its mad crummy its unreal help help Im drowning in the lag
Thank you sir
Do proxies work with transitions, like fusion, transitions, or transitions, you download it from motion array?
Does anyone ever get a weird multi coloured glitch line at the top of there footage when creating proxies?
In the proxy generator I don't have H.265 10bit 4:2:0 1080p, instead I only have H.265 8bit 4:2:0 1080p. Why is that?
My audio is vanishing after generating proxy what to do??
Good tips.
