When checked, Resolve takes a lot more time to process each frames as it applies the grade on each individual field separately. It’s used when working with interlaced media. In the Master project settings panel of the Project Settings window, you’ll find the “ Enable video field processing” checkbox. Some settings will make it easier for you to maintain your realtime while working. Most of the tweaks happen in the Project setting panel. In the same panel as the GPU setting, at the “For Capture and Playback use”, choose NONE, save and relaunch the app. If you need more power but don’t really need you broadcast monitor, like when monitoring an animated PowerWindow for tracking, you can disable it. Video playback can also generate some lag. Of course, you’ll have to quit and relaunch the app for Resolve to consider this change. Since most GPU card you can buy are now pack more power than needed to run the resolve interface, you can now use the remaining cycles to help process the grades and effects. When you go to Preferences/Video i/O and GPU, there is a new box called “Use display GPU for compute”. So, first, if you have a nice multi-GPU setup with a display card and another one dedicated to processing you might want to check this new preference setting. Here are a few tricks that can help you getting a better performances in DaVinci Resolve 10.
Working on those, you’re always on the edge of loosing your realtime playback, you can’t approve a show without the sound stuttering and the final export takes forever to write on disk.įortunately, in Resolve 10, Blackmagic Design gave us a lot of ways to optimize playback when we have to work on shots in realtime and other ways to assure we have the full quality on exports. These smaller setups often have their limits. Sometimes on dedicated workstations but also on Macbook Pro and iMac. Most of the broadcast gigs I work on are graded on the Lite version. The lite version, that is actually free, spread its adoption even further. DaVinci Resolve is now used in various ways: for movies, web tv, broadcast and now, live grading.
