Slow Start up loading footage in Timeline and thumbnails

PostThu Jul 04, 2019 3:05 am

Is anyone experience slower start up times of footage loading in projects? I remember projects loading up almost instantly. Specially when I had just one graphic card.

Footage type:

Project 1: DJI phantom 4 H264 4k 60fps

Project 2: Panasonic GH5 4k 10 bit 24fps v-log

I will attempt to test out HD footage to see if there is a difference

System:
Windows 10
2950x Threadripper
Radeon VII x2
64gb memory

Apparently at work on my iMac Pro this issue does not exist. The Specs on my home windows PC blows away the Mac. On My Mac Im loading media off an external usb drive 3.0. On my PC a seperate internal SSD 970 EVO....go figure :oops:

I haven't noticed any difference in any of the 16 betas for Windows using Pocket Prores/CinemaDNG or GH4 4K MP4 media.

If you have the Studio license and hardware decoding of the h.264 it will be fast. could that be the difference ?

Some GPUs can decode H.264 in hardware, rather than a GPU process.

In any case, im just told there is a likelihood this is an AMD driver issue that is still outstanding so not much we can assist with at the moment.

"Driver issues" is to AMD like ducks are to water. I can't understand how they are *still* releasing horrible drivers for their own GPUs. I'm also having the problem of thumbnails not displaying correctly in Resolve, and I'm running a Ryzen 3700X system with the Radeon 5700 XT GPU. It really chokes badly on H.264 clips. Once I optimize the media to DNxHR, the thumbnails display correctly in the bin.

The thumbnail issue is driving me up a wall. I hope AMD fixes this issue soon. :lol:

EDIT: That said, I just loaded up the same H.264 clips in Premier and they played fine, with the thumbnails displaying correctly. So, now I'm not sure where the problem lies.

I also have Premeir but was really trying to avoid going that route as I was rooting for Davinci and AMD...mystery still remains

It depends who used GPU for all image processes.. hint. its Resolve, so the GPU driver is important.

My system specs
Ryzen 5 3600
32 Gb Ram 32000mhz
Amd 5500xt 4gb

Why davanci resolve is updating late pictures and color
In premier or any other software its work perfectly
I think resolve is not optimised with AMD GPU
I want to use resolve but using premier only becouse of its very slow with AMD 5500xt
