Proxies vs. optimized media vs. caching

- So to wrap up this chapter on increasing our playback…performance, I just want to kind to mention…some final thoughts about DaVinci Resolve 12's…architecture for handling proxies,…optimize media, user caching,…smart caching, I mean the truth is,…I've been watching Resolve implement these features…over the past three or four years.…You know when they started out a couple of these…were very iffy, not very reliable.…You tended not to use them.…Now they feel much more rock solid…and it feels like this multi-layered approach…that allows me to turn on some features when I want,…turn off other features when I don't…and kind of tailor exactly.…

You know what, I'm going to use optimized media…for my camera roll,…but then I'll layer on top of that the smart cache…or the user cache,…depending on the beefiness of my system…so if you were to move around as like a freelancer…and you're going from facility to facility,…you just can kind of turn on the features you need,…turn off the ones you don't…and really allow yourself to focus on color correction…
