Windows 10 Pro, AMD Threadripper 1950 (16/32), NVidia GTX 1080, 4K Res
1. I have a project with 10 parallel video clips. I created a compound clips of them all. Is there a reason I cant add a transition on a compound clip into another compound clip?
2. Overall performance with multiple concurrent clips is poor. Smart rendering takes forever even though my GPU perf is hovering around 30% and total CPU is down around 15% (no spikes above 35%/20% respectively) - there's a lot of unused computing power that could be leveraged to expedite smart rendering - on a new playback of the timeline I can barely sustain 9 fps. It seems like the CPU/GPU rendering pipeline/operations are being starved. Id like smart rendering to kick in a little sooner.
3. I lost audio output at one point this morning - no meters registered sound and obviously no sound came from the speakers. Closed and restarted Davinci Resolve and the sound was back. I tried to reproduce this but havent yet. I checked the obvious things like system volume, track solo/mutes, main mix solo/mute. I could play sounds from outside of Davinci (I checked with VLC).
4. Are there are any tools to assist with layout/alignment/spacing of multiple clips within a single larger timeline (eg. 720p/1080p clips within a 4K timeline). Right now Im transforming everything manually and setting the XY position - but this is really slow when I just want to evenly space/distributed/align the clips within the single timeline. Maybe this feature is there and I havent found it yet.
5. A feature/config/setting search function within the program would be incredibly helpful - Id like to be able to search for keywords/features and then have Davinci show me which menu/sub-menu/button the setting/feature lives on. Ive seen a lot of features on tutorials and examples so I know Davinci can do what I want - its just a question of finding where they are.
