Resolve drops playback speed in normal and enhanced viewing mode, but it plays perfectly while in Cinema mode.

Oh yeah, it’s Alexa Prores.

Not just Alexa, it does the same on prores too.

I reported this when v9 was released. It’s a screen redraw resource issue which was not in v8.

You can get full speed playback by using full screen mode, or switching from clip nodes to track nodes, or even on OSx swapping screens so resolve is running off screen.

I spoke with the dev guys, and reading between the lines I believe that the new graphics cards to replace the gt120 will cure this bottleneck.

Time for a proper 680 I say…

Please let us know if this issue is still there in 9.0.4. We have tuned some resources there.

Thanks Peter for a quick reply. Right now I’m in the middle of a feature, but once it’s done I’ll give it a try.
