Working on a normal timeline, some Red material, some ProRes and some H265.
Editing is going fine for a few hours of work, but then it starts to slow down, any command or change in the timeline takes 1-2 seconds to happen, regardless of what type of material or whatever.

There is no reason for this slowdown as it works perfectly well for a few hours. It just slows down all of a sudden. I have no cache or proxies in this, so there's no change in material or drive location.

What's going on here?

Out of curiosity, what's an 'abnormal' timeline?

Post your system specs, including storage.

Well, basically a ton of VFX, transitions, opacities, layers and so on. There's none of that, just pure hard cuts.

i9-7960X
64GB RAM
RTX 2080TI
18TB RAID0 (3 x 7200RPM)

But I've never had any problems before, neither with editing in Premiere or in Resolve.

Ahhh. I think I'd call that more of a 'simple' timeline.

OK, that RAID is internal or external?
If internal, is it hardware or software? (You have a RAID controller installed?)
