Crashes in Resolve 16 and 17
Posted: Wed Mar 17, 2021 5:22 pmHello everyone, total newbie here!
I'm brand new to Davinci Resolve and am very impressed with it. However, I'm having a problem.
As my first project, I'm trying to make a simple song lyric video. I've imported a WAV file for the music and a few photos into Video 1 with basic transitions. This is all fine. The problems appear when I try and add text to Video 2. Within a minute the preview image and timeline images start flickering or freezing while remaining on one image. This happened with Resolve 16 and I hoped upgrading to 17 would solve it, but the problem remains.
If you can give me any idea why this is happening I'd be very grateful. I really want to get into using Resolve regularly but it's impossible for now. Thanks in advance, and my system specs are below.
