Mac goes to sleep on intensive cache render.

I don’t know how to explain my problem exactly. But I have 1h sequence with multiples effect. When I turn on “smart render” i render for 1–2 minutes, and then my computer goes into sleep. If I wake it up, it renders for a few more seconds and then shut down completely. I can hear the fans scream, but the CPU/GPU temp look normal.

I don’t have that problem with user render, with just a few clips selected.

Is there a way to limit resolve CPU usage while rendering? I would prefer to leave it to render overnight instead of having to manually select all shots that needs rendering.

Thanks.

Which hardware (CPU, GPU, RAM, disk I/O speed)? What specific version of Resolve? What OS? What source material? What timeline resolution? What framerate? How does your drive rate with Blackmagic Speed Test? Which GPU drivers are installed? What format are you trying to render to?

Could be a power supply issue.

could be a safety shutdown
please provide exact hardware info (computer, GPU, ....)
