Yes, I know about optimized media, and proxy mode. But I just want to render a clip for playback on my time line. It wont playback smoothly with the "filed blend" filter. How do I render a single clip?

Search the user manual for playback clip caching. You can select a clip and use User Cache from the main menu. It’s quicker than waiting for a response on the forum.

Right click on a clip in timeline. Select "render cache color output" and then resolve will render that clip for you. just realize (it took me a bit) that "render" in resolve applies to outputting projects and "cacheing" (caching?) is what people coming from premiere or fcp etc. think of as rendering.
you should to go into your preferences, too, and adjust your cache settings--you set the quality of the cache files, and whether or not they occur automatically, etc.
edited to add: those settings are found in project settings master settings..
I'm not a fan of the "read the manual" replies usually, but it actually clarifies a ton about caching if you read the section when you have a few minutes after your deadline.
