Davinci Resolve...Why are you so slooooow...

[iggybo]

So I´m editing stuff on my: 1700X + 1060 (6GB) + 16 GB 3200 Vengeance LPX - Rig and timeline scrubbing and playback is just horribly slow...Task Manager says I´m using 10-12 of the 16 GB. But is that just going to jump to 26-28 GB as soon as I put 2 more DIMMs in there? It´s GH4 4K Footage so a 100Mbps Bitrate and also some GoPro stuff also at 4k or . Also when I move the Stuff I´m editing on my NVMe SSD AKA my boot drive it is definitely faster but only marginally...

 

I proxy at half res.

 

Also my MacBook from 2012 has no problems whatsoever doing the identical workload...-.- and that has only a 3rd Gen i7 with 8 GB of RAM...

PC stuff is weird sometimes

I had the same issue in Davinci using an overclocked 1600X and just 720p or 1080p video. You get what you get with free software I guess, no matter how pretty it looks.

 

I have better results using the final version of Windows Movie Maker than I do with Resolve, even watching tutorials. The shit just works.

I get it too and even worse in Sony vegas 14(and even shitter rendering)

4k footage is a huge huge demand to scrub through, u can set up smart cache

and set proxy to 1/4 and it should be a lot better, but it's still not the best 

 

best free software Iv used is lightworks but u can only render out it 720p
