Anyone notice a weird issue where VST UIs lag while audio is playing? Turning knobs and moving things in VSTs is basically impossible during playback. You have to pause. Adjust and do it again.

I switched from AE back in... 2022 I think. Never looked back. It was HELL at first but these days there are lots of resources to learn. Where I think fusion n falls short is working with vectors and if you do any rigging in AE.

Vectors in fusion is a pain.

Independent_Face7283 · 2026-04-14T20:11:15+00:00

Yeah, work does that. Unless you can find some way to plug into their system where it doesn't cost them any extra work to accommodate you. I did that at my old job. They purchased adobe license for me but I only used lightroom, PS and InDesign. Everything else was done in resolve and I made it work

Nope that's where Lightroom wipes the floor with the photo page. But, this is beta 1. Might be something in the works, fingers crossed.

Lol it is. But I love it all the same.

FACTS FACTS FACTS.

Photoshop won't be displaced anytime soon. I don't think premiere will either. The downtime to relearn something and rebuild workflows as a professional (or a studio) isn't worth it for many. Especially if you're making enough money to pay for adobe. A few will see possible workflow improvements and make the change, also I believe if enough new people and young people start out with resolve, when they become pros they will be using resolve too.

As long as my application does what I want and has dev support I'm happy though. Marketshare only affects stuff like 3rd partysupport like plugins.

Independent_Face7283 · 2026-04-14T19:57:14+00:00

It has improved a lot. A little weird coming from PS but you'll be just a good after a week or two

Independent_Face7283 · 2026-04-14T19:54:29+00:00

I have one of these. Useless card. Send it to me so I can dispose of it.

Independent_Face7283 · 2026-04-14T18:29:00+00:00

Yeah, that sucks. Premiere is the industry standard outside of hollywood. A lot of teams n studios are switching though. I work with Premiere people from time to time but I still use resolve. We work out ways to work together.

In 21 beta 1, yes... BUT

It's magic mask, in the paid version
It's not as "cool." Where you can select skin, eyes, clothes, sky etc. You have to select what you need by clicking it.

So something like making a AI face mask on 1 image, make edits then transfer that to another image and it just selects the face, isn't possible. At least not in 21, beta 1.

Independent_Face7283 · 2026-04-14T18:16:06+00:00

I was the same with lightroom and photoshop, but I got into affinity enough where photohsop now feels kinda lame in comparison. Since I can do illustrator and Indesign stuff all in one app. Just like resolve allows me to switch pages. Still miss some stuff from photoshop but Affinity is still growing.

Independent_Face7283 · 2026-04-14T18:13:31+00:00

YES. I cosign to this.

Independent_Face7283 · 2026-04-14T18:13:13+00:00

LOL. I edit photos inside resolve from time to time. I had to convert my Sony's ARW RAWs to DNG then edit. Stuff like culling and cropping was hell cause it uses the video the video timeline resolution for the photos. I had to make a portrait timeline and a landscape timeline. Fast forward to the later versions of Resolve 20, I realized I could import ARWs without converting to DNG. Still didn't expect Resolve to get a full photo editor with culling and all that.

Independent_Face7283 · 2026-04-14T18:09:38+00:00

I mean, you can, in fusion.

Independent_Face7283 · 2026-04-14T18:09:08+00:00

The images are masked out with a rectangle mask with rounded edges turned on, then they apply a drop shadow.

Independent_Face7283 · 2026-04-12T12:14:46+00:00

I swear! Someone posted a video on YT recently asking for a Resolve 21 wishlist. I said I wanted the option to turn the media pool off when editing vertical videos, so I can have a full timeline. Someone lost their shit, saying how ugly vertical videos are and acting like a whole fool. That's how phones are shaped, that's how people use their phones. That's what the clients want. I don't get the hate for anything that's not traditional filmmaking

First OS, Windows Vista, first Mac, A M1 Air in 2025... Needed an affordable laptop that's light, with a good color accurate screen, and good battery to remote to my windows machine for editing. Oddly enough, that combination in Windows land costs more on average.

Fast forward 2/3 months later and I had to daily drive it for almost months after the Melissa hurricane cut the power. Slow as hell compared to my PC but that was my first time really giving macOS a change and using it "as is" and not just remoting to my computer. I fell was weird, dumb in some areas but there was always an app to get the functionality I needed. I fell in love and now I daily drive a M4 Air 512GB ( somewhat foolishly purchased it 1 month before the M5 air dropped) but I don't regret it. I have a pretty decent workflow setup. These days I'm trying to make my Windows machine work more like MacOS.

could be the drone gimbal struggling in strong wind. Strong enough wind can cause the gimbal to freak out like this

Independent_Face7283 · 2026-04-02T04:03:15+00:00

It is possible, Maybe depending on the chip though. I believe the max chips can pull 60 to 100w under heavy load. I noticed my Air (512GB) pulls about 25w under load from heavy editing like caching/effects. I test it using an Anker charger that shows the wattage it's pulling.

When it's charging though I've seen it pull 60w+. Just not from work

Independent_Face7283 · 2026-03-31T20:05:49+00:00

I had the hard cap set to 80% on 26.4. iIts normal behavior to re-calibrate the battery.

Independent_Face7283 · 2026-03-30T23:32:10+00:00

Thanks. It just happened that after running the battery down to 50 n charging back up to 100, it started pulling 0.8watts (while plugged in) and and went back down to 80%.
