This made my workflow 1000000 times faster !!! I thought I was going to need a new laptop. Feels like I upgraded instantly with just a few clicks. I wish I could leave 1,000 likes. Thank you Casey
THANK YOU!!! i am totally new to video editing, and i was getting really slow playback, from 2-6fps. I watched HOURS of tutorials to speed up playback (all the videos said to do the same thing, i changed all the settings they said to...nothing changed.) I didnt know i had to CREATE THE PROXIES!!!! I feel like an idiot, but i am so relieved that this video saved me from having to purchase a new computer right away!!!
while proxies are very useful, the real trouble comes if you try to edit with effects, which cannot be played back in realtime even at quarter resolution. For this you need to use the render cache, but unfortunately the render cache only works if you are in full resolution mode. So pre-rendering that specific part of the video and playing it back while editing everything else quickly at quarter resolution at the same time is simply not possible with DaVinci at the moment. This is a huge slowdown in editing workflow and we haven't found any solution to this issue yet.
Couldn’t you just use proxy’s to get all your footage cut up an place correctly in timeline. Slap on some transitions. Color graded it. An then render it out. Then bring the rendered project back into Davinci under new project an solely focus on adding effects? Serious question.
Great explanation. I appreciate that you picked one workflow and explained it thoroughly, instead of giving us option paralysis. This was very helpful.
unedited video playback is fine but can you make a video on how to get better playback after applying effect and other stuff. i switched from premiere and after effect for better performance but tbh davinci is pretty terrible at playback after applying effect or doing some fusion stuff. i cant get good playback without caching that have to recache after every minor change.
Casey, I have one question... If I always do my video only for RUclips is it would be better to do it in 4K or it is not necessary and 1080p would be sufficient? Now I do my videos in 1080p and think about to change resolution to 4K. Will it be better?
Actually Casey, its not "old school people" who suggest DNXLB. No matter what your computer, h264 puts more stress on your computer even a Mac with hardware decode for that. The reason is that the lower the stress on your system, the longer the system will last. That is just a fact. But if you have a slow older computer without native 264 hardware, you should do DNX SQ for sure.
I have 23TB of videos. So, putting them "right next to the proxies in the same folder" is not an option. We filmed in 4.6K but are delivering in HD. I wish you had also explained how to do this instead of it just being for small projects that can fit on a laptop or single external hard drive. I still appreciate the information.
"Your computer isn't very good" I have an M1 Max with 10CPU and 32GPU cores and still have to use timeline proxies down to Quarter Strength for 4K footage, just by applying Denise for smooth playback. The technology just isn't there yet. I'm receiving the 16CPU/40GPU M3 Max with 48RAM on February 9th, I'll update how much of an improvement that is. Honestly just getting to bump timeline proxy strength up to HALF would be wonderful, as I could at least have a better idea of sharpness in 1080p
Just some advice for people who capture footage via a program such as OBS, you NEED to make sure your PC can handle your encoder settings, otherwise your footage will contain some skipped frames and you will have trouble generating Proxies as a result. For me personally, I use a high quality encoder setting that uses less CPU power, but uses up more storage space.
Solid information, good style and delivery. I have been using proxies but very clumsily or, as one might say, outright wrong (following stupid default settings). My love-hate relationship with DaVinci continues. 💔
wicked! thanks from Malta! I have a very good PC, but davinci crashes for me a lot and this helps me not want to throw my PC into the sea. So, thank you!
I do same things all you tell . It work smoothly also .but in last after render the project compare original and render video .quality difference. it not looking same quality as original. what should I do?
So update to a better system or build out a better editing system... got it lol. Now you'll have TWO folders of the same take simply eating up more space.
bro I have an ideapad ryzen5 and i didnt even get any smoother playback after all that, but then again I dont know if it makes a difference but I dont really make video playbacks I just make audio spectrums that react according to the music played and its mad crummy its unreal help help Im drowning in the lag
yo dude, this is great and really helpful. it would be awesome if you could do another similar video on 'how to use fusion on a potato'... i have a good machine, m1 max macbook pro... but resolve always crashes when i try to do anything complex with fusion after running my ram up to like 100gb used... im sure its something im doing wrong and i need to edit the settings or or use proxies or something... but i cant figure it out... thanks for all the great content you make! 💪
If someone give me their raw videos and proxies. I can edit on it right away or do I need to do anything in the master setting for proxy like make it the same setting as their proxies? Everytime I create a new project, the proxy setting in the master setting gets back to default.
Editing 6k 30p 12 bit raw and 4k h264 and h265 on my hp machine from 2011 and 18.3 resolve without proxy. Updatet to18.5 and boom my machine is crashing. People on forums are like omg buy new pc...
This video came right on time mate. I just put back in its box my recently purchased razer blade 18 with rtx 4090. Why ? Because scrolling on a 4k RAW video files was very choppy. Only playback was smooth. And on my macbook pro m1, when scrolling, everything was smooth as butter. Not sure if i missed an option in davinci, but i got a feeling that a laptop with mobile rtx 4090 shouldnt have scrolling issues on davinci timeline. Are all windows machines suffering from choppy scrolling while they have top tier hardware ?
I wonder how shit your computer can be and still be able to edit 4k using proxies. Would it be possible, for instance, to use an n100 mini pc (roughly £230) to edit a 3 minute promo if proxies were used.
I've got a 48-hour challenge coming up in a month. One idea I had to save us time was to have a secondary editor doing a rough cut of the short film on location while we're shooting. If I understand correctly, the proxy utility will automatically make proxies of any files in a specific folder. So in theory, does that mean that if a PA brought footage to an editor, they could just continuously copy new files to a dedicated folder and the proxies will auto generate while they edit. Am I understanding that correctly?
WOW..! I found this by accident, but man did I need this info. I can't thank you enough. I'm generating some proxies right now, hoping it works as you showed. Thank you again..!
Cool the proxy generator is great. My PC struggled with iPhones 4Kh265 video. The best thing is that the generator media will be linked automatically in Davinci. Also you can see how much space it tooks. For a projekt it takes 6,8Gig instead if 88Gig proxies made by davinci itself. I had (before Windows 11) Power Director and this program made proxies itself every time. It was way easier.
So the Original and the proxies should NOT live on one of your slowest drives or even an external HDD. I have never in (4 years) using DR had the opportunity to use 4K footage but have a 1TB Samsung 980 SSD as C:\ 1 TB HDD as D:\ and a 1 TB Samsung 980 in an enclosure on a 3.1 10 gb/s port. I did not realize 90% of my videos are running off the D:\ and though onl 1080P MP4 files they scrub just as fast as you show the 4k proxies and I don't think I've ever had to make PROXIES but do have OPTIMIZED MEDIA turned on. It that the same or close?
I’m new to video editing but found DR18 and instantly thought this is the program for me, but my 2015 macbook really struggles with 1080p never mind 4k .. i’m hoping this will save the day!! Thanks
I started using proxies to edit, does assist with playback (thank god as I was ready to throw my laptop out the window), however once I forgot to unlink proxies before rendering and final rendered result was horrendous. Are you sure if you forget to unlink proxies the program does it for you?
Casey!!! Did you ever have the audio like de sync while editing and then it’s even out of sync on watching a RUclips video by 2-3 seconds ? I have to restart the computer to fix - this computer is i9/ GeForce rtx 4090 /64gb ram
Going from 1080 to 4k would stretch the pixels 400% which would distort/soften the picture. With a generated Proxy you get the same frame size but with a compressed file (less computer luminence/pixel code). So the resulting Proxy file size is smaller (think computer bits ie: Gigs to KBs), so less taxing on the computer, but has nothing to do with the frame size of the screen's image. Hope that helps.
Omg i wish i knew about this ages ago, i was trying to make a LUT yesterday with 4K footage and my poor PC was like "bro wtf why" i have a decent system that can render out Fusion clips in 4 mins but this has saved my bacon.
Question - What if I have RAW footage across multiple folders? Like Days 1, 2, 3 - Cards 1,2 ,3, 4 for each day. Do I have to set the watch folder manually for each card or just once for the master folder? Secondly, how do I extract all the proxies to a separate hard drive to hand over to a different editor? Do I need to go into each subfolder and copy the proxy folder? Or is there a one step solution to copy all proxies while retaining the original folder structure? Thirdly, once an editor hands over a project file after working on the proxies, does it link automatically to my original proxies/RAW or do I have to relink each subfolder manually? Thanks everyone in advance.
I need to give you a huge thank you. My 10yr old rig (4790K / GTX970 / 16gb Ram) would edit ok with adobe, except with intensive transitions etc, but since switching to resolve before the mass adobe exodus happened, I had trouble even editing more than gopro footage (recently bought a ZV-E10) and when I seen this video I jumped for joy.

Any Possibility of making the 4K clips available for download so one can test how powerful their 4 year old computer might be or NOT BE as the case may be. Thanks for the INFO Casey.
Hey Casey something different, I have done a freeze frame, I have then masked out part of it, I want to export it as a PNG or JPG however when I do it still comes out with the black background, do you know how to export a mask without background
I have an m2 iPad Pro and I still use this for smooth playback for things like speed ramping and noise reduction. Now if I could just stop the edit page from crashing so often… it does seem to be better after purchasing studio for iPad tho.. any thoughts?

It was so slow, undeditable! but thanks to your video I was able to generate and save proxies on my laptop and I can't believe the difference it's made - I can edit my video now!
Is it okay to edit my 4K footage in a 1080p timeline? edit and grading that way and then change the timeline resolution to 4K for export when im done? My computer can handle editing in 1080p without proxies.
How do you deal with size/location distortion after rendering when working with proxies? I've recently spent hours trying to figure this out. It happened with a video I was doing with all stills (large PNG and JPEG files). Some of the stills were uber zoomed in and in the wrong location after rendering but looked exactly as I wanted them to on the Edit page. Very frustrating.
I reset everything to default for a BM tutorial and even tho I have an ok system it was struggling to render. I couldn’t remember what settings I changed to get it faster so this is so much appreciated!

Question ❓ will the proxy files be deleted when you delete the project in davinci?
Thanks! What is the difference between proxies and optimized media?
Also I gotta say thank you for putting out well thought out consistently great quality work seriously 🙌

No
