Major lag

Hello,

I'm getting major lag with resolve 18 beta build 28. I have a 32-gig M1 mac, so I shouldn't be having any issues. If I add too many titles are try to add an effect on it the editing becomes difficult, and it freezes clip scenes and skips over them so I can't see what the title or effect is supposed to be doing. I'm new to DaVinci but I've never had this problem with Final Cut. Is there a setting I can change so this no longer happens or is this beta not working well with the M1 chip?

Fusion titles or the standard titles? Fusion is M1 kryptonite.

Good Luck

Standard. And if I use this on a title or clip

Forget about it. I just don't get it. This mac is insanely powerful yet Davinci is running terribly on it. When I switch back to final cut I have zero issues.

Are they going to fix this cause it's unusable? I need to cut the vid, add some titles, transitions, and FX then exports it and reimport it to work on the rest in order to get around the issue. It's really annoying and we shouldn't need to do this. . Also, my issue isn't fusion related.

If you are using Title+ titles then you are actually using Fusion (which is known to be slow on an M1 - actually, it's slow on most platforms but where M1 seems to out-perform in other areas, it underperforms in anything to do with Fusion, it seems).

Note: The plugin / template introduced by MrAlexTech uses Fusion.

I can do that. I just shouldn't need to. Resolve should handle it all if Final Cut Pro can.

I think we can all agree that improving the efficiency of Fusion would be fantastic.

Sure. But until then…

So true. But the M4 Super Max Ultra will run Fusion just fine.

I do wonder if improving Fusion is even on the development map. Clearly they made some improvements for Resolve 18. Whether there are more improvements in the pipeline… I guess we’ll see.

Why should future hardware help? The trend is clearly multi-core, and Fusion needs to make better use of what we already have.

I was just kidding. The answer is always future hardware, it seems. Just read the comments about the next gen this and the next gen that… I am hopeful that BMD will improve the use of both multicore and GPU usage on the Fusion page.
