until recently, i was using a 2013 imac to make videos. i5 processor, 32gb ram, geforce gt755m, sata ssd
now i switched to an alienware r10 - ryzen 5800x, 32gb ram, geforce rtx 3060ti, nvme ssd. a very performant gaming/workstation pc.
but in resolve... its slower than the imac? i'm dumbstruck. at least in rendering.
after reading on it, i guess its because the free resolve for mac os has hadware acceleration, while the windows version doesnt.
did apple really pay that well?
anyway, the editing itself is choppy sometimes as well, scrubbing can be stuttery, but i just noticed another annoyance: when i do a cut on the timeline the film strip thumbnails are reloaded. which sometimes takes 10 seconds, in which the program is not responsive. on the imac i never even noticed this, the program was always running fine.
even when i just resize or scroll through the timeline, it always seems to be generating new film strip thumbnails which is extremely slow. again, i dont know if it does that on mac, and even if it does, it has absolutely no impact on performance. i never noticed this on an 8 year old mac.. on my high end gaming pc, nothing works while thats happening.
dont tell me the computer is too weak. do all those things require gpu support? do i have to buy the studio version now?
