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!!!

There is a reason to read the manual.

Learning new stuff all the time....really grateful to you Mr F

That worked great! I'm loving your channel, you are my go-to for learning how to use Resolve.

Great explanation. I appreciate that you picked one workflow and explained it thoroughly, instead of giving us option paralysis. This was very helpful.

That was a great explainer and will be really helpful for a lot of people (and me in the future). Thanks Casey!

Brilliant information and speeds up editing a lot 😀. Have a lovely ending of the week everyone

Really great video! Thanks so much for the clear and concise explanations.

Also I gotta say thank you for putting out well thought out consistently great quality work seriously 🙌

Always great help Casey. Thank you.

Super helpful and amazing video as always!! ❤

Your videos are pure gold. Thanks a ton!

thanks so much. this is very helpful in my 4k 50pfs. i have a hard time editing. then you help me with this tutorial. good job Casey!

Now that's some quality content over here ✨

Very helpful and brilliantly explained - thank you!

The best KZread channel for Davinci Resolve! I often use proxies but the tool which automatically converts the videos I did not know yet

Thank you, Casey! As usually very helpful tutorial! 👍😊

thank you for this! Worked brilliant - I don't have a lof of space on my laptop, so I was storing everything on an external harddrive. 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!

Great tips! Really helpful. Thank you!

Bravo, this saves me a lot of trouble..... well explained! Thank you.

Hey Casey. I know you love doing these types of videos. I feel like "render in place" would be a good one to discuss in one of your future videos.

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.

Cheers that was clear, concise and very helpful.

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. Its so nice to be able to just watch your footage back as your editing, not to mention scrubbing. I know i need to upgrade, but to keep making content I need to buy more motorcycle parts LOL Its a vicious cycle LOL

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..!

excellent explanation Casey, thank you

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!

This is a game changer for me! Thank you!!

Man, you are a Davinci Genius! Thank you very much!

Amazingly helpful. Thanks!

Thank you, sir. I was only hoping last week you'd do an updated video on this subject.

Thanks Casey, a great video and great tips. Muito Obrigado.

Thank you sir

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

BROOO thank you...i have a 2023 Lenovo Laptop and it was sooo laggy but now my Videos are smooth🔥

Sweet 🙌🏼

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.

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!

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. 💔

thank youu

Very helpful ❤ Question ❓ will the proxy files be deleted when you delete the project in davinci?

Hi! This is greatly explained but I'm having trouble with the resolution translating adequately between both. When I save as "half" for example, and use the proxy in my timeline, crop/position the clip, the result changes once I click on "prefer camera originals" for the color grading. Since the resolution is half, once I go to the original, I get a different crop/zoom given the higher res. Any way to keep the framing consistent between both? Hopefully I explained this clearly... Thanks!

The beautiful (but overcast) Oregon coast. - Oregon footage is always good for tutorials. Are you from Oregon Mr. Faris?

Good tips.

Yeah! Toasted Peanut butter! Thanks Casey! Awesome tip(s)!

Hi Casey, why not download the 4k footage into a 1080p timeline then just upscale it before rendering ? Isn't that a very much easier way ?

Casey, I have one question... If I always do my video only for KZread 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?

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.

which is?

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.

THANNNNNNNNK YOU!

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?

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 ?

What's the difference between proxies and optimised media?

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 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?

What is with optimized media?

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

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.

Casey!!! Did you ever have the audio like de sync while editing and then it’s even out of sync on watching a KZread video by 2-3 seconds ? I have to restart the computer to fix - this computer is i9/ GeForce rtx 4090 /64gb ram

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.

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.

Do proxies work with transitions, like fusion, transitions, or transitions, you download it from motion array?

What difference between Disable all proxies and Prefer Originals? Are they perform the same action if I need turn off proxies?

After exporting Does the copy low Res video files get deleted automatically or do I have to delete manually all files?

Hi Casey, when you change the project settings of the "optimized media and render cache", it only saves it for that project. Where can you change the default settings so you have to do this once?

I found it. On that same window, use the 3-dots in the top right corner and click "Set Current Settings as Default preset". Than click save.

if i drag from media bin to the fusion tab, am i using the proxy or the original ?

Thnx man, really works until I have my new mac m2 🙂

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.

Hey Casey what are your thoughts on proxies vs rendering caches?

@CaseyFaris

Both are useful, caches more for fusion and color FX, but proxies for footage
