Any tips on how to squeeze better performance out of Resolve on a slow computer? Now that hardware requirements have been relaxed with v14, I was going to teach my father how to use Resolve to do some very simple editing on his laptop. Source footage is 1080p30 MP4 from a cheap consumer camcorder, but I can't get real-time playback. The machine is a Lenovo Yoga with Intel 5Y70 CPU, integrated Intel 5300 graphics, and 8GB memory.
Am I expecting too much out of this hardware? I'm not going to do any color at all, just simple trimming and exporting. I have no trouble playing in Windows Media Player, but can't get real-time playback in Resolve.
