i have just moved from an ageing MacBook Air to a new Windows based PC, and thought I'd try Davinci Resolve LIte to replace FCP.
Resolve Lite looks like a great product, particularly as it is free, but I cannot get it to run properly.
There is a delay in playing back the video clip when I move the play head, as though Resolve is rendering or doing other processing in the background.
In contrast, Premiere Pro CC runs really well with instant responses.
My Win PC is pretty powerful, though the graphics card might not be good enough for Resolve. These are the specs:
i7-4790 processor
32Gb RAM
256 Gb SSD
3 TB 7200 HDD
AMD R9 270 2Gb RAM
Win 8.1
I set up resolve to use the SSD for cacheing and project files etc, but that did not cure the poor responsiveness.
Has anyone else experienced these issues, or got any suggestions about configuring the PC and/or Resolve for reasonable performance?
Thanks
Chris
