Resolve Sluggish. Maybe Multicam?
I’m editing a documentary feature with a great deal of media. Premiere was pretty slow when I tried loading so much footage into it so I’m moved to resolve a while back. I really like it, but it’s running slow in some random place.
I'm having lag in DaVinci Resolve while editing with pro res proxies on a Samsung T7. I’m connected to about 17TB of mostly Panasonic s1h footage stored on my NAS. I’ve check to ensure that the proxies are connected. I’m using a lot of Multicam sequences where the Multicam is just 2 angles with one audio track.
Playback is fine, but cutting clips, revealing clips, and opening multicam clips are all slow.
What I’ve done:
•Reached out to my server provider to ensure I have a strong enough connection. I have a 10gb connection working as it should be.
•Disabled live saving (per a BM forum)
•Ensured folders are properly selected. Optimized media, cache, proxies go to the Samsung T7. Database lives on my internal drive with about 400GB left open.
I have not optimized media because it seemed like a redundant step if I had already made proxies for everything. Maybe I should use a different proxy codec? Currently have pro res proxy proxies.
I’m on Mac OS, Using Resolve Studio.
The one thing I haven’t tried is connecting to my external drives that also have a copy of the footage. It’s just so hard for me to fathom that would be more efficient, but maybe I should try? I just purchased a OWC Envoy Ultra 2TB Thunderbolt 5 external SSD with the hope that this would work out better than the T7. I got that today and so far, not any improvement.
