Improve Playback Performance
In this tutorial, you’ll get familiar with all the methods DaVinci Resolve gives you for maintaining real-time playback performance, whether you are working on an older computer with a less than optimal GPU or a recent machine that’s using the latest, most capable graphics engine.
Edit with Proxy Media
If you work with high resolution media, you can improve playback performance and better manage your disk space by generating proxy media. You’ll learn how to generate it using different methods, then switch back to the original source media when you are ready to color grade or output your movie.
Edit On the Road
If you edit on a desktop computer, you’ll learn how to create a portable proxy-only archive that can be taken with you for continuing your work in a remote location. Once you’re back on your primary workstation, you’ll then learn how to import your timeline-in-progress so that all the clips relink to the original source media.
Create a Trimmed Backup
Making a backup of your work is critical if you intend on revisiting a project in the future. That said, you don’t need to backup the entirety of your source media. You’ll learn how to create trimmed versions of your timelines so that your backup only includes the portions of the media being used in your timelines.

This tutorial was a great addition to the core training for me. It helped me learn to manage the media better, speeding up my workflow.

As a long time video editor, Iʻm so glad that media management is being focused on as a tutorial topic. The most overlooked but the most important part of the editing process. Media management in Resolve is very clunky and unintuitive compared to FCP so I was very excited to learn the “right way” of doing things. Hopefully this tutorial signals future “deep dives” into other less talked about topics in Resolve. My personal requests would be a deep dive into multicam workflow (another clunky and unintuitive experience), proper use of metadata, and correct color space/gamma selection 😄.
