DaVinci Running Slow Despite Proxies & Render Cache
What's going on everyone! Just recently started getting back into video editing and specifically color grading log footage. I decided to dive into DaVinci after having edited in FCPX and Premiere for several years.
Over the last several weeks, I've noticed that DaVinci runs super slow on my computer, even with just basic edits applied (simple cuts, CST in and out). It's gotten to the point where I have to wait two minutes between every edit just to wait for the render cache to keep up so I can actually watch the playback and that's not even including a color grade applied. All original media has been 10-bit 4K footage from my Sony A7IV. My proxies are currently at 720p Apple ProRes and I've even gone as far as lowering my play back to 720p at quarter of the resolution. Render cache is also set to “smart”.
Any suggestions? Or is my computer the bottleneck here?
Attached are my computer specs and the current settings I have. TIA!
