Wacom tablet laggy and unreliable vs mouse

PostSat Aug 04, 2018 5:30 am

not a single issue but lots. click dragging with Wacom results unreliable results. mouse is ok. things like dragging transitions, moving clips in TL, inserting clips, trim + drag. all flaky because of Wacom + resolve timing problems. this is a MUST fix problem. tablet should work just like mouse, maybe better ;)

I have no mouse, the tablet only (Wacim Intuos). No problems at all.

i'm guessing it works fine on everything else then? I had a older wacom that I had to ditch upon upgrading my OS. Wasn't Resolve's fault.

If you have issues with a wacom or any other usb input device, make sure you
1. Use only high quality and as short as possible usb cables
2. Direct connect the wacom to your computer or if it has to be via a hub just make it a very powerfull powered hub.

I have seen with all kinds of usb devices (incl wacom) issues when either of above was not followed.
Specialy in combination with resolve as (at least on osx) already affects negatively the response of any sort of input device during any sort of heavy load situation. Moreso in later releases even.
