My Favorite Way To Render Cache within Resolve

[@shawnkay8649]

Omg, thanks for this!

[@TehSpeedRunner]

That were the most efficient 4 minutes spent in my life yet :) Thanks for the tip, Dave!

[@EricJohnsonGuru]

Thanks! For our workflow, we shoot all day and then I render optimized media during dinner so that editing is smooth and ready to go the next day.

[@TheCobyRandal]

I love the "Generate Optimized Media" feature. Once that's done, 4K footage from my drone plays smooth as butter up to 32X speed! This is very nice for editors who need to blaze through and make cuts. Then I found an effect slowing things down again. So I read the manual and placed the effect on a color correction node INSTEAD of the strip on the timeline. Smart cache rendered it just fine, and I could see the blue loading bar in the timeline to see the progress. The plugin was an OFX plugin called NeatVideo for noise reduction. Hope this helps someone.

you select the clips and .... ? i don't understand (1:16 sec). what is the shortcut to get render?

[@DigitalGenki]

i think he pressed the f5 key, but i try it and it doesnt render all those clips like him. :(

[@jeremymullins1294]

@@DigitalGenki He shows you at 1:53 You have to set the F5 shortcut to "Render Cache Color Output" via Preferences > Keyboard Mapping

[@DigitalGenki]

@@jeremymullins1294 thank you!

[@danhopkins2955]

I assigned the same function "render cache color output" to control+R, but when I hit that, the red bar appears above but it does not start rendering until I hit play. And it won't render the whole clip...I'm in DR16.

u just gave me a reason to stay in resolive♥

Great tip, thanks Dave. I was not very happy with the User caches because it needs to refresh everytime you edit the clip (I don't know if it is better in 15 though), so I generally generate optimized media in DNxHR LB format half the resolution and yeah it takes hell of a time :)

[@DukeDenverFilm]

Thanks Dave, good tip I did not use this tip before, normal I work with prores from the Blackmagic cameras, but this wil be helpfull working with dji phantom videos. Have you tryed grading the test videos from BMPCC 4k?

[@lindalinsjournal]

Hi Dave, I have one problem on the fusion page about setting render range.My auto render range is between 1-14400 on the timeruler.I want to change it but I can not find out.Do you know how to change it? Thanks!

[@DaveDugdaleColorado]

In the Fusion page it is a bit more complicated, I am not an expert on Fusion.

[@horrgakx]

I don't actually see a "Keyboard Mapping" option under the Preferences menu...?!

[@kulssss]

Thank you so much! I was having some troubles with it :D

[@john_mills_nz]

Great explanation! Thank you Dave.

[@MegaJimbob125]

I have 16 cores too but still only ticking over at around 15% even while rendering. What is going on?

[@BibbersandBinx]

And, where could you do a quick tutorial on where the cache is stored? I would like to possibly have it set on a different drive if possible.

[@DaveDugdaleColorado]

I store it on a very fast separate NvME drive

[@RichardTomson]

Thanks man

[@ekphotography]

Dave, Can you do a SONY A series camera in FCPX export xml to Resolve and back again tutorial? PLEASE! I always get the timecode and or frame rate mismatch errors. I thought Studio 15 would have fix it.

[@MacherTV]

Great tip. Thanks :)

[@KTHKUHNKK]

Dave have you ever used Corral video Studio ? I am just curious if you have ever. It is pretty user-friendly and works well for me. Like Any program once you learn it.

[@tptrsn]

This is SUUUUUUPER helpful Dave, you are a boss! Thank you!!

[@BibbersandBinx]

What GPU and RAM are you running?

[@PremierPrep]

I'm on Linux and I'm totally going to buy Resolve Studio very soon!!! Don't know though if it will replace Lightworks Pro for me.

[@isaacsnowhite104]

Very useful. Thank you.

[@Freshiz325]

All the places doing dailies for the big guys immediately transcode all MP4 to ProRes. Those ProRes are the new masters going forward for post and the MP4's are backed up on LTO as a "just in case". MP4 is a pain

[@Ben-fq1lj]

Dave you should do a video and audio editing course for davinci resolve. I’m almost this close to moving to davinci resolve. I’m just so use to having so much control in premiere and audition in terms of the editing side (obviously color sucks in adobe). But I just wish davinci was a tad more customizable with window sizes and fluidity of the timeline/clip movement

[@thatcherfreeman]

Ben Just FYI I switched to Resolve 15 Studio on Windows 10 and it seemed to crash at least once per hour of editing on my computer that's stable with virtually everything else. That being said, I had "live save" enabled and I never lost more than a few seconds of work.

[@DaveDugdaleColorado]

Odd, Resolve has been rock solid for me.

[@Ben-fq1lj]

What are your computer specs T Freeman? Also, this guy suggested this if your problems are with fusion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKqZlX6opquoaLM Even though it should have updated, make sure you're still not on the beta version of 15. You might need to delete it, and download the official one from davinci's site that isn't the beta anymore.

[@EVOlutionHTC4g]

I've been creating proxies myself, and haven't had any issues.

[@rüzgarınadı]

THANKS working

[@renderdreality]

That was a great help

[@PostColorGear]

"Smart cache which isn't that smart" hahaha - I use user cache myself. (When I don't feel like using proxies)

[@neisilber2118]

Спасибо, мужик!

[@Fennworld]

This works great except for the times when Resolve mysteriously won't play back from the render cache at full speed ;)
