EXTREMELY FAST Video Exports in Davinci Resolve

[@hannahh9850]

You're a lifesaver! What started out as a 16+ hour render turned in to a 7 minute render.

[@fernandoxxd]

Good video so far but please be aware: 1. render cache can be faulty, especially when using plugins or copy and paste nodes/effects 2. optimized media does only speed up your rendering if you have a heavy compressed codec as source (like h.264/h.265). If you allready have prores/dnxhd as source you can skip this and will not benefit from transcoding

Jamie you’re next level broo🫶🏼

[@AMBIOSIS]

@@Excelsior_Espio Re encode your footage in a batch file, you cam also de-interlace all footage within Davinci. Hope this helps if you have not solved it. Interlacing is caused by bad set up in Resolove and bt codecs used by older HD 1080p cameras.

Thanks alot. It saves me an hour

[@Theaaronchris]

Thanks, Im going to have to try this out. Resolve (without your tweaks) on my laptop exports like 2x's faster than FCPX when i use Color Finale to CG. And for that reason i'll be fully using Resolve from now on.

[@JamieFenn]

This should make things even faster!

[@Theaaronchris]

Jamie Fenn Lol, it really does! I just tested it with a fusion composite and it rendered twice as fast with the use render cache images! Went from like 8fps to 30-40fps during export!

My bad. I forgot to save my details with the links before I uploaded...Linked in the description now.

[@PanDownTiltLeft]

@@JamieFenn Thanks, Jamie! I feel compelled to point out that the author of that article should really do better research. For example, they assert that Prores was created specifically for FCPX. Prores was actually created to replace Apple Intermediate Codec and was released in 2007 as part of the Final Cut Studio 2 package release. LONG before FCPX was even a twinkle in in Randy Ubillos's eye :)

[@edrugmanmusic]

Great stuff!! Does anyone know if there is a way to get Divinci to be able to use pro-res for optimised media and render cache and on windows (as premiere now allows)? The reason I ask is that I work cross platform and it would be great to have optimised media / cache that would work on both PC and Mac. Has anyone else experimented with this?

[@ChessGrandmaster]

Trying it out. Only thing is that generating optimized media from a 20minute 4K clip is taking 45 minutes. Is this to be expected? I am using a HP Envy 14 - i5, 11th Generation with 16GB RAM. GPU is NVIDIA Geforce 1650Ti , Max Q, with dedicated 4GB of DDR6

[@asmru6982]

Forgive my confusion...why would I want to render from optimized media (lower quality footage) I thought the idea was optimized media to speed up editing and then render from original files for quality? Please let me know if I’m missing something, thanks

[@JamieFenn]

Depends what your optimized media is set up as. I’ve been rendering and uploading videos in pro res LT and nobody once had mentioned quality

[@felixekeholm3579]

For downloading(exporting) 35 seconds video it is taking unlimited time which goes on increasing and then freezes

[@ririlan2137]

I just tried the optimized media on one of my project with the ProRes 422 LT and it makes a big difference while editing. My only question is can I generate media in batch or do I need to do it one by one? Great sauce. Thanks :))

[@JamieFenn]

You can highlight multiple clips either in the media pool or even in the timeline and right click then generate optimized media.

[@JamieFenn]

So may different ways you can do something in davinci. Thats why I love it!

[@juanian]

I have a question. I don't have any ProRes format. Only some DNxHR. Thanks

[@JaysonBates-ElectrumFinancial]

Good stuff!

[@JamieFenn]

Thanks!

[@MathieuTechMoto]

just did the test, In my case, optimized media will take about 5 min to optimize ( HQ codec ) a 3 min video and 2 minutes to render in 4k with ''use optimized media'' checked , it takes the same 2 minutes to render without optimized media

[@JackyWongWorld]

Jamie Fenn So I have to press generate optimized media for every media every single time?

[@JamieFenn]

You dont have to for every frame. You can highlight all the clips you want to do it too and do it that way. Or You can always work with proxy as well.

[@AndhrakidZ]

Hi, while doing Quick export video Duration is setting to 2sec only. Even the video contains 5 min duration. Is it expired or do I need to do any settings to this.? Please help.

[@A1Bokeh]

hey jamie man have you had any issues with dropped frames in davinci the whole clip will work then usually at the end of the clip it will have a missing from that pops up in red..it is super annoying and there isnt much help for it out there... also when playing footage in reverse it does the same thing

[@JamieFenn]

sometimes, but I let it render in the edit timeline before trying to play it back.

[@A1Bokeh]

@@JamieFenn hmm what seems to work is generating optimized media on the clip that's the only thing that worked for me 🤷‍♂️ good stuff

[@JamieFenn]

Yea... you should use optimized media on all your footage for smooth playback

[@JamieFenn]

Its tough to make a video on something like that because I think most of the time people's computers are not up to the task of what DR requires GPU and CPU wise.

[@XziledBlog]

Noob here, does this works for mp4 as well or quicktime is the default format all the time?

[@rprokopiak95]

You leave automatic resolution? In the slower computers of your audience, it will choose quarter and it will look like... not good :D

These videos help me out a lot. Hey Jaime, have you ever gone over Cache Clip file folders? I learned through trial-by-fire that they eat all your hard drive space. A cache clip file is created for every project, and even simple videos with just text animation and a lot of media pool clips can take a huge chunk out of your available hard drive space. I ate almost all of my 500GB SDD and I wasn't aware how to even find these files at first. It took troubleshooting with my computer guru to figure out what was taking all my disk space. The files have long names, no actual words. Just pathway code. After finishing a project it's best to delete these files. Just one file on mine was taking up 193 GB! Maybe you could make a video showing how to access these folders through the DaVinci program. I still can't figure that out. I access them through my computer folders instead. if you're not expecting these folders to be created it'll come as a big surprise when you can't figure out what is on your computer that's taking up all your memory. The files aren't the easiest to find. Sometimes they're hidden.

[@JamieFenn]

You can always delete optimized media when you're done with your videos. Or delete the entire cache folder whenever you want.

[@Spiikz]

How do u delete the entire cache folder, also if I already uploaded my video to youtube, can I delete the whole project and will it delete all those files for me?

@@Spiikz wherever your videos are saved, I'm guessing probably in a folder called "videos" there should be a subfolder that just says cache clips on it. Audio ones don't really take up anything you don't need to mess with those. Just put your cursor over the top of them and then it should show you the abbreviated properties of the folder and then you can check to see how many gigabytes it's taking up to see if it's even worth deleting. Or you can just right click and select "properties." But only do that if you're done with the video and you're happy with everything. Remember you can always use the newly rendered video and drop it back into DaVinci to add stuff. The only problem with that is you don't have separate audio tracks on the new video I don't think, so if you have music and narration/speaking and you want to edit out dialogue, the music might be choppy. So I'd make sure that prior to your first render you are a completely satisfied with dialogue and all other audio elements before deleting cache clips for that particular file. I think it deletes the cache if you delete the actual project from the project manager page, but don't quote me on that. I actually made a video on my channel addressing this.

[@Spiikz]

Thanks

[@iamteedoh]

Thanks a bunch for this video. This hasn't worked for me at all but still appreciate good content that helps a bunch of others (so thumbs up). With that said, "Generating Optimized Media" takes just as long as rendering that clip under Delivery without optimized media or proxy media, so it's almost useless to even bother generating optimized media. I followed your settings suggestions but my clips take hours to render and if I generate optimized media for those same clips, it takes just as long to generate that optimize media. I'm using a 2017 Macbook Pro with 16GB Ram and it's built-in Intel video card. I've also tried this on Linux with an M1200 Quadro and i7-7700HQ. Something in my clips must be off. I have minor effects, such as 1-2 seconds transmission on some and two call-outs. It's a 24min video. The clips with the call-outs seem take take hours and these are short 3 minute clips

[@ChessGrandmaster]

Generating the optimized media is taking quite some time in my case too but that time is 45 minutes instead of 3 hours.

HELP! Sort of... so I followed what you showed many moons ago, and I use a GoPro Hero 8 along with a Canon 5D4 and/or Sony RX100 IV for various stuff; but I notice there are always video noise (like the sides get kind of blurry for a few moments) here and there in the final video when viewing on KZbin. The noise usually happens in busy scenes or during a speed ramp and it seems to affect ONLY footage shot on that GoPro. I have an older PC and I only have DNxHR HQX or below codec to choose from @ 8 bit video bit depth and shot in 4K @ 30fps. I recently did an experiment, and I did not use optimized media to export and I set the quality to 30000, 40000 and 50000 respectively. Again, the video always looks good and clean on my computer, but the version on KZbin have that blurry noise again in places mentioned above. I have to add though it is not as bad in versions I didn't use optimized media. Any idea what I might have done wrong? Thanks.

[@PowerheadProductions]

Am I missing something, or are you just shifting the delay from Export to Optimize Media? Optimizing the media takes just as long or longer considering it's processing all of the footage before editing, whereas Export only renders what you are left with after editing. And now you've got cached media files piling up on your hard drive that you have to go back and delete after each edit.

No errors just gets to 99% on first attempt 95% on 2nd and shuts down....My question is is there editing sofware out there as good as resolve and does not have the issues it has. ?

Doesn't sound like you let your computer cache the project before you used these settings. Which is the whole point of this video.

[@shanerobinswpr7027]

@@JamieFenn Yes , Sorry for the above rant. I just got very frustrated with it. Still having issues with rendering speeds. Will sit down and re watch your video and others to double check all my settings plus try take time to learn what said settings are actually doing etc. Cheers

I love the idea of this process. But it takes my computer the same about of time to Generate optimized media as it does to just render it haha

[@JamieFenn]

I just let my project cache while I work and then when it comes time to render is fast af.

[@eddiedepool733]

@@JamieFenn weird. Mine wouldn't do that. When I followed the steps in the video it had a window pop up that wanted to cache the entire thing before hand. But I did figure out that my Nvidia driver was older so that my issue was the GPU not using the CUDA core after discovering this video.

[@isoladellerosetv]

but if i have a long fusion clip that cause my export to be slow, how can i generate an optimized media from a fusion clip?

[@JamieFenn]

Go to your media and generate optimized media.

[@isoladellerosetv]

@@JamieFenn you mean I have to go to the media pool and right clip on the fusion composition? There is no option "generate optimized media"

[@pooty8795]

Hey, so I did everything and it still isn't working... MY video is taking a few years to export... :(

[@JamieFenn]

are you on smart cache? and did you let your project cache all the way before exporting?

[@CanterOps]

Hey Jamie, hoping you can help me on this one. I keep running into the same issue when renderin in Resolve. Many times, when I hit render, the render time just starts going up and up forever and I just have to force shut the program. I have tried everything. Different formats, optimized media... I even purchased the Studio version in hopes that GPU render would fix this, but the problem is still here. I have a powerful computer for the tasks I'm doing (sometimes it happens when exporting 4 second intros created with fusion and things like this) so I really don't know what to do. I have wacthed endless tutorials on optimizing resolve and nothing seems to works. My computer specs, in case they can be of any help: i5 9600k Nvidia RTX 2060 32gb RAM.

[@JamieFenn]

I had the same issue happen to me once. Try deleting your render cache and then re caching the video.

[@CanterOps]

@@JamieFenn will do, thanks for the quick response!

[@Spiikz]

Sometimes when I upload to youtube from davinci, it says uploading failed, so I have to go to youtube and upload from there, is there a setting that will help or is it just my internet.

[@JamieFenn]

I never upload through davinci.

I must be doing something wrong, I followed all the steps in the video and rendering still took forever. I used a 3 minute sample HD video - 1920 x 1080 at 30fps 1080i...it took over 20 minutes to render and it took over 20 minutes optimize the video. I record and produce legal testimony video and clips can be as long as 2 hours at a time & maybe 8 hours of video total, there's no way I could ever spend that much render time on files...please help

[@JamieFenn]

Were you letting your video cache while you edit?

[@anthonymicheletto2557]

@@JamieFenn yes, but usually were not doing any actual editing on the clip, our main purpose is to take the raw footage and create mp4's...actual editing could take place down the road depending on if the case goes to trial...I guess my main question from this post is, I took a 3 minute sample clip and it took me over 40 minutes to have a final clip. Our basic output setting is to create a MP4, CBR @ 4mbps @ 30fps

[@procentskladany]

Come on... generating "optimized media" takes more than rendering the final video... Am i doing something wrong?
