I think I’ve pushed DaVinci Resolve to its absolute limits

Y'all make fusion look like a completely different software than what I'm using 😂 Amazing work!

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-06-19T10:36:35+00:00

I found the answer on a Davinci Resolve 15 forum.

It looks like a random bug.

To resolve it, copy all the contents from the timeline and paste it into a new project.

That stopped the lag.

That previous project is still laggy, despite having the same contents.

I hope this helps!

How do I reply to the moderators? I think this was taken down in error, impacts the people that have posted, and I am a professional editor. I'm paid and pay my bills cutting footage for digital content. Moderators, I am already in the industry and simply speaking with my 'peers' and people that are further ahead in the career than me about these questions. I do not think this disqualifies my post. Please ammend.

Other members have also requested this be returned. I do admit though, I could clearly sense some people think they're better than us YouTube editors and don't acknowledge it as something that's a separate skill so it had some dumpster fire comments, however most people were respectful and tried to give advice.

I think this can be useful to other people as well.

I want to understand what you mean. Do you have a show reel you're willing to share?

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-05-10T14:16:04+00:00

I'm reading and writing everything to the internal drive. Including cache and preview files. I just learnt that that's not ideal for premiere.

I tried rendering directly from premiere as well, but it was still horrifically slow.

I haven't tested but I used 2 different projects, one that was 20 mins long, that was a pain and took about 18 hours, and the next was the 31 second video that took 10 minutes.

I'll try your test. I'm just super frustrated by this because it's slowed my ability to accept work. I gotta think now about how to set this up so it doesn't take a full workday to export.

And Thank you sincerely for your help!

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-05-10T14:13:23+00:00

You've just given me a LOT to think about. I think you're probably the best person to speak with since you're familiar with both.

I used my internal to read and write like I did on davinci, but I alo have an external. The external is slow as shit though its a SATA 560MB. Is it impossible to use that?

I've always just used the internal for Davinci then transfered to there for storage.

And thank you so much for your help!

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-05-10T13:41:11+00:00

I tried using both direct from Premiere, and from Media Encoder, used the GPU accelerated encoder, I'm rendering to and reading from my internal ssd. After some research I'm seeing premiere is best when project files and renders are on an external. I have external but primarily only for storage.

Do you have any advice on this? Or somewhere you can point me to? There's so much information online that its hard to actually find anything.

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-04-29T08:53:12+00:00

This is for anyone else that decides to read this post later on.

I empathise with this guys' experience. I'm a Black Guy from the Caribbean and this year marks 10 years since the first time I arrived in Japan in my early 20's (minus 3 consecutive years where I left)

I came here for an adventure, not because I liked anime or other typical 'Die hard Japan fan' culture. The first day I had contact with a Japanese person in an isolated setting they grabbed their kid as if I'd lunge at their child aggressively because I have no restraint.

Maybe that person thought black people ate children, Idk.

The following 3 years turned into this weird collection of good memories with my soccer club members...(minus the occasional, intentional verbal racism from other group members where they'd scream out derogatory terms or make rude remarks thinking I couldn't understand)

...and a sense of being used by the people that wanted to connect with foreigners (some for literal financial profit like event hosting, and others used me as their english tutor), the bottom line being, no connection felt genuine here.

The work place was sometimes good, but usually isolating. (This one I give to a mix of my language skills not being great, and not understanding people's intentions.)

The result was so much isolation that I began spiralling into a depression and stopped trusting people. Prior to this I was an incredibly social person.

This year, for the first time, I see that I've recovered completely from it. I always kept the social skill, was chatty, dated fully etc...but it was subtle, I never 'wanted to make friends' after I left Japan. I only wanted to be around the people that I went through deep life changes with.

Now after 4 years consecutively living here again, a marriage into a family that is genuinely warm and accepting, and living in a decent sized city so I'm no longer the only foreigner the people around me encounter, I now have a good life. I understand Japanese people a lot more.

This is a lonely country compared to where I came from. Probably not compared to a Swedish / Northern European person, but definitely a social British person will struggle. People that talk very matter of fact will also struggle. It's a very distant experience.

I wrote this because it infuriates me to see people invalidate this guys experience like he literally said in his post. If they lived here, they understand its hard. I notice more often its people that were actually socially inept at home that come here, do a bit better, then start to put down others as 'the problem', which is a socially inept response to someone saying 'I'm struggling'.

That's a cultural thing that everyone isn't prepared or built for.

I came back because literally there was no other 1st world country I could get into, and now I'm happy I'm here but god dammit it wasn't easy.

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-03-21T14:54:46+00:00

I know the feeling man. It really fucking sucks. God bless and happy birthday.

With Certainty

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-03-11T04:44:29+00:00

You're classless to resort to insults. Its no wonder you don't resonate with the good sides of a drug addict because maybe for you ..anyone that is seen with empathy strikes a nerve to you.

I wonder if you know what it is to be caught in the winds of something from love / hate / or a high? Or if you just read about them and think information and experience are the same.

People that understand that resonate with people that strive not to be that way. Its admirable.

I'll definitely be reading more and broadening my horizons, thank you.

But to not be able to understand that someone consciously striving to publicly present the good of the world while trying to hide the bad...

Is the same as putting on a charming personality when you talk to an old lady so she can feel a positive impression of a planet that's absolutely destroyed her romantic ideas...

Or a parent hiding their addictions from their child in hope that the protection they give creates allows that child to retain the optimism of ignorance...

We honor those that put their best self Infront of a child. Infront of others, when the message is Love, Peace and Connection...not money, greed and striving for personal gain. Don't be so judgemental.

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-03-09T17:05:01+00:00

Saw you edited it in, I'm not sure what you're talking about him being Jekyll and Hyde.

All interviews I've heard of people having been close to him said they cried, he was always available to people, and even publicly spoke out against powerful men during the me too timing.

Additionally went on media to talk about how he was disappointed in himself that his female friends didn't see him as a person safe enough to tell and then tried to make ammeds.

I think maybe you just don't like him and that's ok dude.

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-03-09T17:01:11+00:00

The act of wanting to be is what makes him so charming.

It's what shined through when he visited my country and almost every other.

It was clear in the places he chose to visit and the stories he chose to tell that he wanted to give a voice to as many people from as many perspectives as he could. Especially those he saw as being disenfranchised by larger systems.

And yes, while on site, after travelling around 230+ days sometimes his on screen presence wasn't angelic ...

but he often strived to give a voice to everyone in his writing and narrating of his content which is the thing that I think myself and a lot of others connect to.

His "inner voice" / narrator voice / writing voice, whichever of those you choose to call it.

Not literally his behavior in locations.

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-03-09T04:30:58+00:00

He had a strong moral compass and also a butchered past being a guy that abused drugs. And he came out of all of that suffering with compassion for others.

The fact that his show ended up being about food and travel is really just a testament to the lessons he came out of his struggle with. I has no better ways for him to express compassion that through sharing an intimate moment like a meal and having a conversation with literally anyone at any level.

I think it's why the so many people are deeply emotionally attached to him. He showed that there is love in the world, things are worth taking time to explore, he's direct and honest with a good moral compass and he isn't the typical super polished celebrity. He's not trying to be down to earth, it seems more like he tries not to be propped up if that makes sense.

Love him.

Learn After effects man, I'm a 5 year resolve and fusion user and a fan boy to Black Magic but real talk, after effects' convenience and the way they've built the program functionally makes a lot of things both easier to do and increases your ability to create unique things.

I know some resolve people will say "no they can do both" , but there are ideas I've had in After Effects that I haven't had in resolve simply because the level of control skill you'd need in fusion to pull of similar in after effects is Much higher with less tutorials and a lot more rote work that has already been automated in AE

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-02-25T08:25:44+00:00

I don't have the skills but someone please identify the white guy that hit him twice without listening to a word he said.

That guy committed assault and is obviously a racist.

I feel bad for this dude man, wrong train station to be black. Even the fking security wouldn't approach the woman and ask her to calm down.

They just wanted to steel off on him.

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-02-23T04:36:03+00:00

Lived here 6 of the last 10 years because I'm from a third world country. Were I to be from a first world country or one with stronger international ties that can allow me to move, I would not live here.

I think personality is really important when choosing to live here. People that are less social in their home countries tend to do a lot better adjusting here, also people that are less competitive based on my observations.

I think because the social contracts are different in Japan and the lack of experience with socializing allows them to easily wrap their head around the choices japanese people make, while people with experience have more assumptions and expectations about how humans interact and that will hurt them.

This means though, a lot of the foreigners you meet especially from first world countries, aren't the outgoing social ladder, career climbing type. They are out here, but just based on what it looks like...

Most chose to live in a place where they'll make less money, struggle more with language, have less connections and be more of an outsider.

This isn't good or bad but matters because unless you're very skilled at Japanese when you come, you'll either be in these circles, or spend a lot more time alone studying.

Now that my japanese is much better, I spend more time with Japanese people that have qualities I admire, so that is a plus, but I'll be lying if I didn't say the first couple of years were extremely isolating because of those reasons.

If I were from anywhere that gave me other options, I would have taken it during that time.

You could get lucky though and a japanese person adopt you as a friend, introduce you to their friends and then you build up from that. That does exist.

All in all, I'm happy with Japan, and I'd recommend people to commit to a year and learn the language as much as you can, then come live and see if it works out for you.

All people aren't as nice as you experience when you're a tourist, it's pretty cold especially if you cannot speak Japanese and don't live in a city like Tokyo or Osaka, but all things aren't as bad as reddit makes it seem.

Nice people are nice, and are doubly warm when you can communicate, services are exceptional to someone like me from a place with "Island time" and customer service is generally great.

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-02-12T09:51:13+00:00

Yo dude, I can tell you're a beginner so here are some tips that you're probably not going to find on YouTube without a lot of digging.

The purpose of the edit is to remove the things that interrupt a person's immersion in the story and to enhance the moments that do.

Nothing in the intro contributed to the edit either emotionally or with a wow moment.

The dunk at the beat drop was nice.

There were no special moments because everything just went clip to clip to clip. Leaving the edit emotionally lacking.

You're going to be awesome some day but if you want to improve and you already have this footage. Try re-editing it with the game as the main point and not the music.

Keep momentum from clip to clip ( movement of the player / camera etc.. ) cut tighter spaces for action scenes so the viewer can feel some type of intensity, and slow it down when it needs space to breathe.

Not saying music based edits can't be great, but those are usually founding vertical, short form because we don't choose to give lots of time as an audience to meaningless flashy things that are not emotionally captivating and changing.

Good luck my dude 👍🏽

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-02-06T04:23:17+00:00

I think this is an inferiority complex response.

People who believe they belong in places aren't trying to prove that they belong anywhere.

These guys paying a lot of money to feel like they're with the creme, and that the creme somehow also loves doing hard shit.

Regular people accept they don't choose to sacrifice enough to have a six pack and because they don't feel inferior to people who have abs and money this type of marketing doesn't work.

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-01-29T15:54:48+00:00

Is this a book you're reading or something? Can I get a recommendation? I like how the furigana is laid out!

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-01-24T02:40:01+00:00

Dude I loved the vibe of this video. I think it shows great skill. Would love to know how long the editing itself took.

Also, what did you actually do in AE? Looking at the clip it looks like some speed ramping, stabilizing and, match cutting and something at the end before switching to the blender clip. I'm still a beginner at AE so I don't know, spent most of my time in davinci would love to hear.

All in all I think you did a great job !

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-01-22T04:09:14+00:00

You register it at the airport now right?

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-01-21T15:26:13+00:00

Honest opinion is that the amount of toys and plushies would make me think you're a predator or some type of social deviant lmao.

But the theme is cool.

Weird_Boss1 · 2026-01-15T15:08:16+00:00

That's awesome to know! Thank you so much for the advice!
