How odd. I’d always assumed Resolve’s timeline caching was intelligent enough to pre-render the timeline “as seen” ie with all the compositing etc, rather than just pre-rendering the individual clips. This is a very useful tip to know, thank you.

This is the first video I've found that actually improved performance while stacking clips and effects. Such a good tip, thanks!

Another killin' trick ! This man smokes his competition like a morning breeze. Unmatched Davinci Resolve Professor! Grateful for another superb tip!

You are a star! I wish I had seen this before attempting editing the virtual choir!

You're a great teacher. I almost gave up but after explaining proxies and optimized clips, I'm back at it. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks.

This is legendary...
this is how i was able to put a million different things together to make better videos, and faster... LIFESAVER!

So that's the real use of compound clips. I was using it to organize things on the timeline. As usual, very well explained and appreciated.

Seriously, every video I watch, my mind gets blown.

Great information! The stuttering issue has been a big one to sort out as a beginner with a lower end machine. Thank you

Just trid it on an M1Max MacBook Pro Rotoscoping plays like magic ! You made my Day.

I knew about compound clips but had no idea I could open them! Thank you for this video!

[WhiskyReisen]

Thank you, that drove me absolutely nuts. I did not think of it that way, of course it still has to render 5 clips in real time. Thank you so much to help me understand the reason.

Amazing! I'll try it next time. Thank you!

[robmdq]

Man!!! You've saved my life!!

Well, yeah, i was exaggerating lol, but i was breaking my forehead trying to find an "equivalent" in DaVinci to the Nest feature from Premiere, which i've used a lot when editing on Pr.

Thank you!
