  • Feature request ” Lock media cache “

    Posted by Sascha Haber on August 27, 2015 at 7:59 am

    A simple switch that prohibits changes which would clear the cache files.

    For example Timecode Burn in On/Off or just enabling a video track kills the whole cache.
    I would like to have a function that needs a second confirmation or locks it like a track lock in the Edit page.
    Too often i had to tell my clients “I have to render this again” this month

    Another idea could be to add a technical layer for the Data burn in , something that will be processed AFTER everything else.

    Resolve’s cache is a complete mess. It’s way too complicated as it requires constant user input- Do I use Smart cache or do I turn it as a user, render cache source? Do I leave it in auto? Do I use render cache output? Come on! Talking about overcomplicating it!!! In Nucoda I just turn it on and I’m done. How difficult is that? And while we’re talking about it, in order to to invalidate Nucoda’s cache you need an act of Congress or you need to explicitly tell Nucoda to get rid of it. I literally after the job hand the drive with original camera material back to the client and if they need a fix, I still have all transcoded DPX or EXR cache available, until I tell Nucoda to get rid of it. So, the answer, as usual, BMD needs to go back to the drawing board and design cache mechanism to work correctly. Any other requests to improve cache is just a lipstick on a pig…
