Just adding to this, what are good settings (Project settings) for the render cache? I’m not very familiar with the different types. Even with 1 filter, it still gets choppy and laggy after the blue line shows the clip was cached. I think what caused confusion is after making changes to the clip, It does not seem to re-cache at all. no red or blue… Read more

I am thoroughly confused now. I’m not sure what I did wrong before, but NOW it is working with Auto Render cache in the Edit tab. And there is now a blue line above the clip to show when its pre-rendered as well as red when it is not. That was not showing up before.

Actually…i just tested this idea and I think it may be the solution. I have the same fx plugins in use in Fusion. I chose a combination of them that drastically tanks performance. Then when I go back into the EDIT tab playback is only a little choppy the first playthrough, but then it seems to run perfectly smooth. It is still kind of an…

I should also mention Im working in the Edit tab. I wonder if they expect us to only use fx in Fusion. I see clip context menu option for “Render Cache Fusion Output”. Maybe this is how it needs to be done in Resolve rather than right on the timeline.

I think that’s a separate topic. I’m having no problem with quality and playback of the media.
Its only for clips that have fx/filters/plugins on them. Premiere has the option to render those clips as preview clips when you press ENTER/RETURN so that playback is smooth, because most computers cannot run heavy processing in real-time. In…

If you mean within Project Settings, I tried setting it to half and quarter but saw no difference in performance. it seems like its just not rendering the results (source footage + fx on the clip) as a preview clip. It seems like it only deals with the source footage, while fx on the clip continue to be processed in real-time. But also since…

I’m finding this to be a nogo too. For testing purposes I set RSMB on a clip and raised values to make it playback slow and jittery.
I set it to Render cache to User and adjusted the Project Settings/Master Settings pretty low. If its making preview clips this should be fine at full res as it wouldn’t be trying to process fx in real-time. (If…

Hey sorry for the 2 year late reply (been busy lol)
I have since moved on to DaVinci Resolve. I didn’t like that they want you to buy an expensive update every year for Vegas but they won’t fix known bugs that have existed for years, so I parted ways.

Ive been using Resolve for a few years and love it (its too good for being free) but one things that’s been a pain is performance. Everything is great until i use any type of filters/fxs. Then its a clunk fest.

When I was using Adobe Premiere this was an easy fix as I could just press ENTER and it renders preview clips on anything with fx.…

In Vegas Effects when I attempt to export image sequences of different comps, it seems to be incapable of naming the exports after the comp name like AE does. It only lets you pick the folder to export too. Even worse it keeps generating a new folder with the comp name as well as new version numbers of the folder for every export. Is there a way… Read more
