5 TIPS for SMOOTH & FAST PLAYBACK (and Editing!) in DaVinci Resolve 18

[@glengreenman3921]

Regarding tip #3: if you right-click the bypass icon, you can select to bypass only color grades or fusion, instead of both.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Dang! That's awesome, I didn't know that. ALways learning something new in Resolve!

[@Mixxwizard]

Nice video Jason, the only thing I would add to that list. Change the project format as well. If you receive a project from someone who's working on a PC & you are using a Mac. I had that issue once. I had to change the file project format back to ProRes 422. After that, my mac would breeze through the footage without any problems.

[@DancedZikrNZ]

Another tip. I generally only use a small portion of my source clips after my initial rough cut. So I do my rough cut and then use Media Management to copy (losslessly), *trim* and *relink* a new much reduced set of source clips. This often reduces the size of source clips by 50 - 75%. Having done that I generate proxy media (as you suggest) and because the source has been trimmed it is much faster and the proxies take up much less room on my SSD.

Here's a tip many have missed... Under "Power Options" (Windows) > Change your Power Plan to "High Performance" or "Ultimate Performance". If your PC doesn't have those options search Google/KZbin to enable those options. This problem plagued my PC's speed no matter how many tips I tried from videos like this one - The only reason I kept looking for an answer is cause I spent way too much on a custom build to have slow-down issues lol. I was right. Changed that power plan setting and my performance was like night and day. Your welcome.

More than "helped", completely solved my problem for me in my case, whereas most/many KZbin videos on this and other topics, well intentioned and well informed also, often don't actually cover off the particular case of the problem you/one is having.

[@artwithalison]

Thanks so much Jason! That has helped a LOT! It's weird though, as I've been editing with this program and this lapttop for a couple of years (thanks to your tuition!) without any lagging and it's always been absolutely accurate - even on an hour long video. Yet, the last few weeks it's been extremely difficult to use this program as, even when first starting on a short, 3 minute video, the lagging has been terrible. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it, but no difference. However, after following all your instructions, it is MUCH better, though not perfect, as, even after doing everything you suggested, it is still running slow off and on. I bought this laptop a couple of years ago as I needed one with more power to do the editing and it's been going really well until now. Any other ideas by any chance, you, who knows everything there is to know about DaVinci Resolve? Best wishes, Alison Hood from Western Australia

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey Alison! Glad this video and others of mine were helpful! The next thing I think I'd try for you is to delete all of the Cache files for resolve. Here's a video about how to do it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mauxeYVondJofKs I'd also make sure you computer is up to date, your graphics card is up to date and Resolve is up to date.

Mine seems very choppy and I have a decent system with 32GB RAM. The other thing I wondered about is if the paid version would run any faster with its better support for GPUs. I've also wondered about storing my media files on an SSD drive.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey! You’re on the right track. The studio version will run better than the free version, no doubt. I saw nice improvement on my 2015 MacBook Pro when I upgraded to the studio version. Also, keeping your media files on an SSD as well as sending your cache files to an SSD will make a good difference as well. I use the Samsung T5 and Samsung T7 as the drives for my active projects. Slow drives can definitely cause a bottleneck.

[@NicNatarella]

Regarding the Render Cache...after poking around, I finally found it in the Project Settings...does that mean I'll have to set that every time I start a new project? Or is it saved now as a "default" setting for subsequent projects? For that matter, what about all these adjustments - are they saved or do I have to reset them each time? Thanks, Jason!! You really should officially change your name to "Hugh Daman".

[@JasonYadlovski]

If you set a project preset and make that the default for when you start a new project, it will have the file path saved in it. Otherwise you'll have to set the file path every time.

Yes, you can move a license to any computer, it’s no problem. I move my license between 3 computers. Just FYI - you actually get 2 activations with one license key. So you can have studio in 2 machines at once. If you need to move it to a different machine, you just have to deactivate one of them and then you can move it to another machine and reactivate it.

is there a way to save the playback resolution and render cache settings? It is annoying having to change them every time I open the app

[@JasonYadlovski]

Sure, you could open a new black project, make the settings changes you'd like, which would include the playback resolution and render cache, then you can save those project settings as the default project settings, so you won't have to do it every time you open Resolve. Once you've got your project settings the way you want, open the project settings, click the 3 dots at the top right and choose either 'save as preset' or 'set current settings as default preset'. This way, any time you make a new project it should be all set up and ready to go.

Changing your timeline from 4k to 1080p doesn't mean you have to switch back via project settings at the end. That's done on the deliver tab anyway, right? Or have I been doing this wrong all this time?!

[@JasonYadlovski]

You can change just the export settings (that's what I do for KZbin), however I think you get an even better result if you change the timeline back to 4K and render in 4K vs a 1080 timeline and rendering in 4K. I don't know why that is though. 😜

[@Craig07L]

@@JasonYadlovski I'll do that from now on. Maybe it's an upscale instead of a real 4k if you choose 4k from a 1080p timeline. I dunno but thanks for the info!

Hey Jason, I'm having issues with my Davinci Resolve on a speed demon of a laptop. The program just isn't running like it should. My biggest issue is working with downloaded templates from Motion Array or Envato Elements. I'm in Western Canada, and I was wondering if you do any teaching online...like a zoom call or something like that? I would pay to have you help solve my issues. Would you be interested in something like that?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey! It could be the speed of your drives, especially if it's an external drive. Could also be the video files themselves. I'm assuming you're running studio. I'd try clearing out the render cache. Also, I always edit in a 1080 timeline too, then export 4K....I'd start with that stuff and see if it helps...🤔

One thing I did want to ask was. Is there a way to make davinci suggest the ideal resolutions for short form content? Perhaps a setting of some sort I'm not sure.

You can easily set Resolve to use a vertical format. If you want to know specifically the best resolution, size, etc. for a particular platform, I'd just do a quick google search for it. The answer should pop right up.

You’ll get an even higher quality if you change the timeline before rendering. But you can also just render it in 4K from the 1080 timeline. I would do some tests and see how it works on your videos.

[@katiemeeker3512]

Quick question. I have some larger files (~15-25 minutes 1080p, 60fps - kids soccer games) that are jumping a lot during playback in DR 19. I have turned down the playback resolution and turned on smart for the render cache, which sort of help. When I tried to use Optimize Media, the resulting files were gigantic and completely filled up my internal hard drive (working files are stored externally). Is that typical, or did I miss a step somewhere? I don't use color or audio effects - I pretty much just add a little title/scorecard and mute the original audio, and that's it, nothing cool - so are there any other things I can try until I can get the RAM on my computer upgraded?

[@CTRadventures]

Hey there! Thanks for the video! I currently have a Dell XPS 15 910 is is pre loaded with 16gb ram an i7 core and a 2050 GeForce laptop edition GPU. For whatever reason, when I bought the studio version it would lock up then shut down while rendering, usually on transmissions, however, I loved the smooth playback. When I was in the free version, I got choppy playback but I could render. My GPU drivers just got updated, however I already got a refund on the studio version and I'm hesitant to purchase again. Will upping my ram from 16 to 64 (laptop max) help anything?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! I would think more ram is inly going to help. For your graphics card make sure you’re using the studio driver, not the gaming driver. Very strange that you would have trouble rendering using studio, did you try multiple projects? You should be able to render just fine in the studio version, did you mention it to BlackMagic design and see if they had any suggestions?

[@CTRadventures]

@@JasonYadlovski I ended up resetting my laptop. As I said, I'm skeptical on buying the paid version again. I made sure to re install all my driver's. What seems to be working for smooth playback, tho it's slightly more time consuming, is I set proxy to the drnx (or whatever it is) LB then set playback to smart. To me I have almost enjoyed video editing and I am such a beginner or at least stuck in that area as I need to work on getting the shot, story telling and composition. At the moment we just film our little adventures to share with friends and family. So we are alright on a tight budget with things so seeing these people's set up running resolve of $2k plus just isn't feesable

[@CTRadventures]

@@JasonYadlovski thanks again for your input, I found myself binge-watching your channel. I saw something online I didn't know if you had an opinion on it or not. I saw how somebody bought this small contraption, a power supply and a high-end graphics card and essentially made an e GPU for a fraction of the price. What they did is essentially make the laptop and do a desktop by removing the wireless Wi-Fi card in the mini PCI slot, which connected to this device which was a full PCI slot which was powered by the power supply and ran the graphics card from there. So the downside of it is you would lose the mobility of the laptop but the upside of it is you get a desktop graphics card. It was interesting nonetheless. Seeing how expensive everything is nowadays and that my laptop isn't terrible, it definitely peaked my interest when you talk about getting a graphics card this device a power supply and possibly even the studio version of resolve that could use my laptops graphics card as well as the external graphics card all for around $800 which is on board with or less than getting an EGPU case and a new graphics card. 😅 That was a lot .

Yes, you need to set it back to the higher resolution before you render. Otherwise, it just renders at whatever resolution the timeline is.

[@andersistbesser]

@@JasonYadlovski oh.. even if you set your render output to the higher resolution?

[@JasonYadlovski]

I believe you get even better quality if for example, the timeline is in 4K and you render out in 4K. I film in 1080, so I use a 1080 timeline and export in 4K and for youtube the quality is great.

[@swaha55]

Hi Jason, Is there a way to compare video 1 track with video 2 track in the preview viewer? For example can I compare video 1 in the right preview screen with video 2 in the left preview screen but see each clip in the 2 different view tracks where the play head is placed. I edited a video and made some cuts but I want to see on the original video what was cut out in the edited video.

[@JasonYadlovski]

No, the left viewer will only show from sources in the media pool.

[@caribbeanbound8357]

I have a legion 5 thats brand new and it is choppy with even a 5 minute video file even with these settings. i cant figure it out

[@JasonYadlovski]

If you are using the free version, Resolve won't use the GPU. Studio version of Resolve will, that could cause the choppy playback. Also, I'd recommend editing in a 1080 timeline if you are using higher Res footage. That will also help playback.

[@thejfamily483]

I know this is old but what is the app called you editing on

[@JasonYadlovski]

I edit in DaVinci Resolve. I screen record using Screenflow.

[@thejfamily483]

Thanks so much for telling me

[@BlueMoonVideoProductions]

Im hoping someone can help.... Im working on a project with another editor and we are sharing Proxy files and when i get the project back and relink the proxies they are not matching up... even when everything looks matched up with the name files when you toggle back and forth between original and proxy its a totally different clip even though the name is the same.... however If i unlink that one file and relink it ... then it works... does anyone know why this is happening?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Strange, it should all line up. Is the other person exporting just the project or exporting a project archive? Which ever it is, I'd try the opposite and see if that helps fix it....

[@rvwithbob]

This is increasing my stress level. When I render to upload to KZbin my video is jerky. (1920x1080, mp4, H.264) I shot the footage on a gopro at 30fps. everything set to 30fps. The original video is smooth but the final result is jerky. The clouds in the sky jump around, the foreground skips from point to point. I was using an external drive to store all my files. I thought that the jerky video was because of transfer speeds between the computer and external drive. It's not an ssd drive. I archived the files and moved everything to my internal disk. I still get the same crappy output. Can you help? any suggestions?

[@JasonYadlovski]

My first thought is, are you giving KZbin enough time to render the video fully? It takes some time for the processing on the KZbin backend before you get the full quality of the video. If you have everything set to 30 FPS, that shouldn’t be a problem, but I will double check the timeline frame right along with all the footage frame rates. I might even try a new timeline or a new project just to see if it makes a difference. You can copy everything from one to the other

[@rvwithbob]

@@JasonYadlovski Its jerky before I upload to KZbin. I can play the original footage and the rendered footage side by side on my computer. The original is smooth but the rendered is not. And it's not just one video it seems to be most of them. And it doesn't seem to be the entire video, just some shots. could I be making too many adjustments on the clip? Any thoughts?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Interesting. It sounds like a frame rate issue to me. It shouldn’t matter how many adjustments you apply to a clip, when it renders it’ll take as long as it takes to make the render correctly. What render settings are you using? Maybe you’ve got the wrong frame rate in the render settings?

[@rvwithbob]

@@JasonYadlovski Thank you for all the Davinci instruction, I would be sooo lost without it. The project, timeline and render settings are all at 30 fps, rendering at 1920x1080, MP4, H.265 Quality restricted to 100000 kb/s and everything else is program pre selected. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJeohGRqYt2rf9k at 1:11 to 1:17 the guard rail jumps and 2:50 to 3:04 the bushes in front jitter and are good examples.

[@alienman7866]

optimizing media does not work. creating proxy does not work. lowering res. does not work cannot begin to edit to due stuttering playback. ryzen 7 5800x 4070 oc 32Ram 2Tb format: dji mini 3 pro .mp4 4k 60fps nothing works. still lagging

[@JasonYadlovski]

Are you using Free or studio? If you're using the free version, that might be your bottleneck. The free version won't use the GPU.

[@alienman7866]

@JasonYadlovski studio I had the same issue in free so I bought it. Total regret thus far.

[@alienman7866]

none of these effect my timeline playback, working with 4k mp4 format. it still stutters or frame drops every 4 seconds or so no matter what i do. plays beautifully in other video players.

[@JasonYadlovski]

I'd say do your edit in a 1080 timeline, then switch back to 4K before rendering.

[@alienman7866]

@JasonYadlovski tried that. It shrinks the screen too small and it doesn't fix the playback issue at all

[@JasonYadlovski]

Maybe it’s the codec of your Clips. 🤔

[@alienman7866]

@JasonYadlovski I changed that codec to the lowest quality in studio. Same result... I own two camera drones they shoot in 4k and h264 I cannot change that part. Why is this happening? It's a steady stutter almost exactly every 4 or 5 seconds some worse than others. Do I need ryzen 9 series? Dji pilots told me to use this program specifically. So here I am wondering how you all get smooth playback at all

[@northwestrepair]

that tip #4 option no longer exist

[@JasonYadlovski]

it works, you can right click on a timeline in the media pool, then go to timeline settings and change it to 4K from 1080. The way I showed is on the project level.

[@MikeVDrumming]

None of these tips work for me. I don't have a hardware issue, Davinci is just simple NOT utilizing my hardware. I have 12GB of Vram and a 24 core CPU and both are never beyond 10% and yet it struggles to playback 1080p 24FPS. I am going to be switching back to Premiere because this, and many other bugs are just beyond unacceptable.

[@JasonYadlovski]

If you’re only using the free version of resolve, it’s not gonna utilize all of your system hardware. You need to use the studio version to unlock all the GPU processing.

[@northwestrepair]

Tip #1. Premiere Pro

[@JasonYadlovski]

Haha

[@Itsrlyfun]

Thought I found the video but none of these helped at all? I am baffled that this program is so highly regarded and I can’t even playback one 0:15 video file with text overlay 😂 like seriously canva, Snapchat and any free video app on my phone can handle more than this (my hardware is more than sufficient to perform what I’m asking and I’m using the newest version of da Vinci) seriously what am I missing

[@JasonYadlovski]

Mabye you're using the free version? The Free version doesn't use the GPU, but sound like you've got a simple enough clip there....🤔

[@Itsrlyfun]

I am using the free version so couldn’t do that GPI step… but if the free version can’t playback 15 second clips with some text automation then I’m not sure what it can do lol

[@Itsrlyfun]

Thx for vid tho it was very clear and appears to have helped some, just not me

[@JasonYadlovski]

It should work fine. It’s probably some project settings or something on your computer. Hard to tell without more information and some looking around.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Sorry I can’t help more!

[@JJ_Khailha]

Lot’s of hands in your mcu’s are distracting. Widen to mid shot or keep your hands out of shot. A pro tip.

[@MarcelWltr]

Well i don't want to hate on this video, but i'm disappointed. It's super basic and nothing that hasn't been covered by so many other videos. I'm glad you added chapters tho, so i didn't have to waste 10 minutes by watching the whole video. Again, i'm. not trying to hate on you or this video. But it's just low effort content...

[@JasonYadlovski]

All good man. When it comes to Resolve in general, it’s all been done on KZbin for the most part. You’re not finding anything brand new out there. But I find that people won’t watch the same information if it’s made for Davinci resolve 17 when version 18 is out. So I remake the same stuff because then people will watch for version 18. There’s always new people coming into the program as well and they want to see it on the latest version available.

[@HaroldKuilman]

Step1; get a faster computer

[@JasonYadlovski]

That is certainly the best place to start if one can afford it. 😁👍

[@HaroldKuilman]

@@JasonYadlovski I'm looking for one right now on a tight budget, with all the tips applied to the extreme you have in this video I'm still at about 0,5 fps. Footage is 1080p, on an 720p timeline with proxy files in 360p and before I touch sound or color (I don't even try to playback with video when i apply those) Thinking AMD 5600G with 32GB ram and waiting for a price drop on ARC for the AV1 codec Edit; I'm editing on an Asus R417b laptop, AMD dual core A9-9420 with 8GB now

[@JasonYadlovski]

I can’t help you much in the PC arena, I’m a Mac guy. Bang for the buck, the M1 macs are gonna be the best for Resolve.

[@HaroldKuilman]

@@JasonYadlovski i like the M1 bang, but not the buck 😢 and I don't like the apple ecosystem. Also with a PC I'm able to upgrade parts as needed instead of the entire system when i need just some more RAM or an new hardware decoder

[@ExtraFPV]

somehow none of this helped

[@JasonYadlovski]

Bummer!

[@avisualstoryteller]

I done everything you said, still my 4k clip is dropping frame in M1 PRO 🥲. Is there anything I need to check on?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Check and make sure your timeline frame rate matches the clip frame rate. If you're not running studio, it might not playback smooth. What I'd do, is edit in a 1080 timeline, then change it back to 4K for the export.

[@avisualstoryteller]

@@JasonYadlovski Hey thanks for the reply , my timeline frame rate is 24, and the clip is 4k with 25fps, Apple pro res 422HQ , it's not playing back from media pool, just now luckily it played in timeline, but this wasn't the case before. Do i need to do anything else ?

[@JasonYadlovski]

If possible, I would make your timeline 25 FPS, so it matches your clip. Otherwise it’s gonna have a jump or skipping it if you’re trying to play that clip in a 24 FPS timeline because they Don’t match. You can try using the optical flow setting along with speed warp, it may help and make it a little bit better if you continue to work in a 24 FPS timeline.
