One area where the User Cache doesn’t give you control: The Edit Page. There are no options to force Resolve to enable or ignore caching for intensive Edit Page effects, such as OpenFX transitions or composite modes. In this movie you’ll learn how these processor intensive effects are handled by Resolve’s caching system in both the User and Smart Caching modes.
- 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…

3/4/2016Indie feature film and broadcast colorist Patrick Inhofer puts these more sophisticated features to practical use—color-grading shots from a documentary. Along the way, he covers the Resolve Studio databases, media management, advanced primary and secondary color-correction techniques, and even Resolve performance optimization. Follow along with the three "In Action" chapters to learn how to create a base grade, match shots, and build cinematic looks. Plus, get a glimpse into the advanced features available only in DaVinci Resolve Studio, such as motion effects and noise reduction, to help you decide if you need to upgrade to the paid version of DaVinci Resolve.
It doesn't matter what kinds of projects you shoot or edit. This training will help you develop your color correction "muscles" and deliver better results more reliably every time.
