Rendering problems in edit mode unfortunately persist in Resolve 17.
I am working on iMac pro and Resolve 17.0B build 18. My edit timeline is 12 minutes long and contains 16 video tracks in 4K. Most of the tracks contain graphics material with alpha layers and text overlays. Everything is rendered and runs smoothly. Now when I make changes at the beginning of the timeline in the text layer, here even minimal changing or editing of the text is enough and the entire timeline loses its render data and has to completely re-render. This means with so many tracks in 4K of course a lot of time... These problems occur sporadically also with the Resolve 16 version. The changed data at the beginning of the timeline does not apply to other tracks. That means the text layer is only a few seconds long and ends before it comes into contact with another layer. Other editing programs would not lose the render files here. Resolve unfortunately does and I can judge that because I work with both Premiere and Avid. So the innovative rendering while working with Resolve is helpful in small projects or only in color correction, but in large projects with many layers and graphics inserts something seems fundamentally wrong here in the approach. And as I said, this also applies to version 16.
