Whenever I try to add text to a video, it glitches the clips

Whenever I add text to a project, the clips all get glitched and show as a dark-rainbow glitch screen in the media page. The playback is also glitched, and if I try to export the project, the result is perfect audio but the screen is just green. Please help, as I cannot view playback and I have to restart my computer every couple minutes, and I can't even add text at all. This also happens sometimes when I try trimming individual clips. Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem. And it's quite annoying.

You have no dedicated GPU. Sorry, but your computer is underpowered for Resolve.
You may be able to work in a 1280 x 720 timeline, but with very limited effects.

Would buying an external GPU help?

I've switched to Hitfilm Express after Resolve stopped working, and it never glitches for me. Although it's less powerful, it's worth the change if Resolve glitches. Just a suggestion :D

If you edit professional movies however, Resolve is your best bet and you should get a GPU

A GPU will only help if you have Thunderbolt 3.
