There’s a low qual/high qual setting for preview. HIgh Quality fixes weirdness with XDCAM, but might slow down your editing. When I use my GT120 card, high qual bogs. GTX285 can do high qual without a pause.
Export outputs are always “HIgh Quality” without any problems, in my experiments.

I have found a number of things that you would think don’t take much horsepower in the BG will derail Resolve. The only reason why that I can think of is that a lot of little tiny CPU disruptions interrupt Resolve at just the wrong time will derail things.
An HP printer driver I found was doing that on my machine. Dropbox running in the BG wasn’t helping either.

I would take build an effect in Motion and publish it.
Would be pretty easy…

Or put another way, those two connections green and blue have to orange, mean that each are going to stay glued to orange in JUST that spot on orange.
If you “storyline” green and blue, then they are they’re own sequence so to speak and if you delete green, blue will ripple forward.
Same thing John said, just with a little more “why”

Share what? The plugs I made?
One, they’re very big because they have footage in them.
Two, some of them have flares I bought from Crumplepop in them.
Three, the remainders are leftovers from a show open for a show on Bravo that I shot that are kinda my special sauce. Sorry, mine 🙂

You know, I typed “their way” in my response above, and it struck a connection in my brain.
In many other endeavors, especially sports, it’s widely held that there is somebody that knows how to do it better than you, and you will pay money to learn their tricks.
Beginning editors usually have no problem subscribing to this idea, they pay Ripple Training and Lynda and a zillion other people to be taught how to do edit “the best way” or “the fast way” or just simply to be able to edit at all. But somewhere along the line you get good and fast in your own way, or simply in your own mind, and you stop looking to the outside and start complaining when something pushes you outside that.
Anyway, I’ve learned a new way with FCPX, and so far I’m pretty sure I’m faster. I’m definitely not any slower on the timeline and actually *editing*. Everything else I do like adding filters, importing, housekeeping is DEFINITELY faster.
Just my thoughts, nothing more.

Why do you have to hold down P to keep position mode?
I’ve been toggling into it. Between turning on Position Mode, turning off Skimming, and using N to toggle snapping on and off, I’ve had a very similar experience to timeline maneuvers in 7, if not identical. When I want it. But frankly, I’ve been ok using the new edit shortcuts and doing it their way too. I know I’m faster doing it their way, way faster.
I am a little puzzled by storyline connections above, but so far it’s not hurting anything.

Hm. I’ve had very good luck with “Create Synchronized Clip” so far.
3 cameras, separate audio via recorder went together very fast automagically.

I’ve already modified some of the stock filters under “Light” that simulate lens flares and such.
I one of them in FCPX, “Open Copy In Motion” and then replaced the fake flares with real flares I’ve shot as FX elements for other jobs. I also applied a hue/saturation filter to the footage, and published the parameter.
So now I have multiple custom filters in the FCPX “Light” filters category, saving a few steps applying them to shots when I need.
Now it’s just a filter, used to be a second layer of video where I’d have to tweak composite method, opacity and usually put a 3 way color corrector too to get color to match.

AirPlay I’m pretty sure, relies on the incoming video being h264 with a max bitrate of about 6mbs.
That *might* be ok for client viewing, but I don’t know if I’d want to edit with an image recompressed like that.
Also, there’s a bunch of lag with it. Like almost a half second.
