System:
iMac i9 late 2020
32Gb ram
Internal and external SSD measured at approx 550Mb/s read/write
Resolve Studio 17.9 public beta, fresh install after backing up db
No other apps running
Cache written to separate SSD from source footage
Problem:
New project
Import 11 clips HD (1920x1080) Sony .MXF Slog Cine3, approx 5min duration each.
Time taken to build waveforms and thumbnails/filmstrips in Media bins: 17mins
Yes, 17 minutes.
Comparison:
Exact same 11 clips imported into fresh FCPX project, from same source drive, build thumbnails and waveforms: 12 seconds.
Yes. 12 seconds.
It's not like this is some exotic, oversized 12-bit mega load. This is simple, common HD footage. My PHONE loads 4k, 50 times faster than this. My drives are clean; known to be reliable; regularly optimized with DiskWarrior. I do this for a living.
I'm presenting at the next LA Blackmagic Collective, and I intend to demo this exact project to an audience of Resolve skeptics. Wish me luck.
