Hi,
I downloaded Resolve 17 to give it a try and while the program seems to be very good and stable (although very complex), I wonder why the performance is that bad. Maybe I expect too much with my poor hardware?
My footage is 3840x2160 MP4 taken with a Sony Alpha III. With the simple player from windows, I can play the vifeo without any problems and jumpt to whatever position I want immedeately. The integrated GPU is used there.
However, If I use Resolve, I have problems to play the video. It is extremely slow and I can not really jump to another position and move back and forth. It seems that Resolve only uses the CPU and none of the GPUs.
My timeline is set to full HD and only after I created proxies I could work with the files. I do not really have problems working with proxies, but wonder if there is something wrong with my configuration or drivers? Also, working in the media section is really annoying and I did not find how to create/use proxies already there. Any hints?
My System is at the lower end of requirements:
Resolve 17.4.2
Windows 10 Pro, 21H1
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U
RAM: 16GB
SSDs: 500GB and 1TB
Radeon RX 550, 2GB, driver version: 27.20.15026.0 (no update via Windows or Lenovo Updater available)
many thanks in advance for any hint! Also, if someone points me to helpful documentation; I did not really find a solution.
