Video Editing & Creative Software
Editors, color grading, render errors, codecs and GPU acceleration.
imagine finally buying a bigger SSD, copying all your footage over neatly, opening the project, and seeing this: every clip from teh second shoot day is red. the files are definately on teh new drive, i can play them in a normal media player. Please tell me…
everything was fine until i started grading. now my NLE keeps showing: the project uses 6K RAW clips with stabilization on most clips, renders also fail. what settings shuold i change? The GPU drivers are up to date and the PC handles games without problems.…

Im new to serious editing and the free version of Resolve just threw this at me: The timeline is multicam 4K interviews, and I used stabilization a lot. I don't really understand where all the GPU memory goes. Any advice? Any tips on settings or workflow…
so annoyed rn i edit 6K RAW on a gaming PC 😤 Playback is choppy, and everyone tells me to use proxies. But it adds steps and disk usage. Is it really worth it, or should I just upgrade my hardware? I'd love to hear how others organize this: storage,…
