Hello again and welcome back to Stock Content Pro. Today we are looking at
DaVinci Resolve 16 and I have a couple
of tips and tricks for you to prevent
yours from crashing as frequently as
mine used to do now I don't run very
high-powered machines here so at the end
of the day every little tip helps I used
to have chronic nightmares with it
crashing all the time but a little bit
of YouTube watching a lot of going through
the forums I've covered a couple of
hopefully top tips for you my first tip
is everything needs to be on the same
internal drive and I mean everything
we're on my 'Data D' drive here and as
we can see I've got my DaVinci media
folder my Resolve files there all my
installation files over here I've got my
raw edit files those are the images I'll
be working on and they get rendered out
to these three folders the finished
folder the SCP files folder and the YT
vids folder so absolutely everything is
on the one internal drive and this makes
it all run so much faster so I'll close
out of there next off we want to go up
to the top left hand side here choose
DaVinci Resolve and head down to
preferences a lot of people complain
they get a GPU warning that's because
it's not set correctly we click on
memory in GPU and what we've got here is
as you can see the GPU processing mode
for us is CUDA and the reason we have
that selected is we have NVIDIA GeForce
graphics cards and they were of course
developed using CUDA if you happen to
have an AMD card you'll most likely be
needing to use OpenCL as opposed to CUDA
because that's what AMD was developed
with but changing these and saving these
to your project template will make all
the difference in the world for your GPU
prevent it from crashing on you all the
time so let's close out of there now
just doing those two things alone has
prevented my computer from crashing full
stop but my next tip is for those that
work with RAW files we come over to
settings in the bottom right and we open
up our settings and we come down to our
Camera Raw option here and as we can see
at the top here we've got
our raw profiles where they've got them
for everything here really they've got
Ari they've got Blackmagic Canon Cinema
Panasonic Phantom, Red Sony etcetera
and they're always adding more they're a
little while back there was only a
couple in here and what we can do here
is for the decode quality instead of
working in full res we can select
to work in a half res or a quarter res
and this will make your computer run so
much faster whilst you're working on
your cut pages your edit pages fusion
color etc all you've got to do is make
sure that you switch back to full res
before you get to deliver now we're
going to close out of the page here and
we're going to go over to our deliver
page and one thing we can do we go to
our advanced settings and in the
advanced settings if we scroll down we
have a couple of options here and we can
Force Debayer to highest quality and
again this one up Force To Highest Quality
if those are set in your
template when you start your project you
never have to worry about switching your
decode quality back to highest because
it'll automatically do it for you when
you render out your clips so we'll save
that in there that's all ready to render
everything at the highest possible
quality for you so as I say once again
just go over to Force Debayer to
highest quality and Force Sizing To Highest Quality and that's it you're all
set I hope this works out for you guys
