Hi do2blehelix. I still use DR, but took the plunge and bought a workstation laptop. The spec includes i7-8700k (3.7GHz), 32GB Corsair 2400MHz SODIMM DDR4 (2 x 16GB) and a NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 - 8.0GB graphics card. There are other threads on here that discuss DR but the general...

Are you playing directly off the card or have you transferred the file to the hard drive of the computer? If it’s the former, I suggest you try the latter.

This looks like a nice machine and the better GPU is a good call (extra RAM is relatively cheap). I would think that basic editing with DR will be fine without using proxy/optimised files. More complex stuff may challenge it, so proxy media would then be an option. I for one would be interested...

There is quite a significant difference in these computers and the desktop will provide the better service for intensive video editing. The significance between the laptop 8750H chip and the 8700K is the letter. “K” marks a flagship chip, whereas “H” is lower ranking. The 8700K is more of a...

Nice work. You should be proud of that.

I’m afraid I screwed up again! My 0.9GB render was actually at 1080 and 60, rather than 4K and 60. Sausage fingers don’t help. BUT .... I’ve now re-rendered at 4K and 60 (triple checked settings) and it comes out at 1.5GB. HOWEVER ... I use Davinci Resolve 15. The 4K H264 render qualities...

Kilrah, I’ve fixed it, thanks to your advice. On looking at the render settings the output quality was 4K H264 80000Kbs, which is beyond the stated TV limit of 60000Kbs. So, I re-rendered at the new setting and it worked a treat. Thank you. However, I learnt some things here. 1. MP records...

Thanks Kilrah. I have tried a USB 3.0 flash, a ‘normal’ external HDD and my MP micro SD (SanDisk Ultra Pro) through a USB 2.0 reader and the ‘best’ playback is through the USB 3.0. My kinda thought was that the better quality input device resulted in the best output and therefore an even faster...

Sorry - my mistake. The port is USB2, which could explain it. However, the TV manual says that MP4 files at 4K H264 are supported up to 60 FPS and 60 Mbps bitrate. USB 3 into a USB 2 socket shouldn’t make a difference (although I know it will default to the USB 2 speed). I’m wondering whether I...

Thank you. However, the USB is a flash drive. It’s USB3 and so is the TV port.

I have a Samsung UE60KS7000 TV (2016) I have rendered a 5 minute MP video at 4K using MP4 H264 onto a SanDisk ultra flair USB (up to 150 MB/s read speed). The TV recognises the file and starts to play it - the picture is awesome. However, after a few seconds it starts to stutter and then the...

FWIW I never fly connected to anything (apart from phone to remote). I’ve been spooked by an ‘aircraft disconnected’ message when my phone started to auto-download an Android update. I cache maps (if needed), close other apps, turn off WiFi and select airplane mode. I like the ‘it’s just the...

Many here have had it, including myself so yes, it’s known to the mavic community. Whether it’s so prevalent as to be an issue I’m not sure. I would definitely try without 4G and delete/reinstall the app. A soft reset on the phone wouldn’t harm. Good idea to delete running/surplus apps. In my...

You may have success if you fly in airplane mode with WiFi off. You can cache maps before take off if need be. There do seem to be more reports of this issue and I have suffered it myself. I traced mine to an Android update happening in the background being downloaded over 4G. A deletion of the...

I reckon this is a good approach. My personal experience with the XPS 15 and DR was a continuously stuttering timeline, particularly around transitions (even simple fades). Proxy editing can be a work around, but the files take time to create and are another step in the workflow. Custom builds...
