Painfully slow Text+ Rendering speed

PostWed May 07, 2025 5:31 pm

Hello,

Me and my friend are having some real issues when working with Text+ layers with some effects on it.

We are currently on the latest Studio Open Beta, however I've also had this issue on Studio 19.


Basically, DaVinci renders blazingly fast until I hit a Text layer. Then it all goes down the drain.
I'm currently rendering a video at a blazingly 1-1.5 FPS as I have some Text+ with Shake + Motion Blur + Write-on applied.

As soon as I'll leave the area where the Text layer is it jumps back to 120+ FPS.

Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Hardware is not a problem:
Ryzen 9 9950X3D
RTX 4090 (same issue on both Gaming & Studio Driver)
64GB RAM
3x NVMe 1x Gen5 2x Gen 4
Windows 11 Pro

Either cache/"render in place" or optimize the composition as you work.

Brute force won't get you far, no matter what hardware.

I'm struggling to understand what a "brute force" approach means in this scenario.

It's a (I would think?) rather basic Text+ Title with smoothed out border & write-on applied to the text.

Here's a rendered example (rendering this took 3min 55sec on my machine):

I haven't even opened the Fusion tab to create it (I didn't think I would expect to do so?) and a similar title with this kind of effect renders near instantly in other Video Editors.
