You may be alright depending on what you need to do and what kind of video files you want to work with. Hi Richard, it is really hard to find a computer with all the spec at a decent price here in Quebec, Canada! Every time i find the perfect laptop, it says cannot be shipped to Quebec!! Hi Nancy, sorry for the late reply. This looks ideal, actually both of the ones you mention are up to the task. I would lean towards the one with the better GPU the RTX but either should be good for the work you intend to do.
The GPU would be a problem but you could try installing resolve 15 which is not as resource intensive- not optimal but it may make the difference between being able to edit on the computer and not.
Richard — thanks for the work you put into this — would it be possible to use an older version of Resolve more suited to somewhat lower-spec hardware? Hi Steve, thanks for the question! The hardware requirements have not changed much if at all since at least version 12, even before that.
It is not entirely true that the hardware requirements have not increased compared with older versions. I tried upgrading to DR16 and completely lost the ability to play any timeline in real time went from being able to monitor at 60fps for 4k content down to fps even with lowly HD content. It seems logical and indeed probable that a previous version of DR which stated lower minimum system requirements at the time e.
I would imagine that if I found a version of Resolve from pre it would actually run reasonably reliably on this laptop. Hi Rich! You are doing great! Greetings from India! I would like to use DaVinci Resolve Studio new version. How to does best work in affordable system budget. How much TB willbe needed. Monitor Which one low budget good monitor. Hi Sikandar, thanks for your comment.
This system you have described is unfortunately not well suited to working with the raw video formats you want to work with. For monitoring you will need a Blackmagic Design Ultrastudio, and a suitable monitor. I highly recommend giving this video a watch for monitor recommendations. Hi Richard, Thank you for your informative and thorough work.
I have read extensively through your site and found it very useful. However, I am still very daunted: I am a musician first not a video editor or gamer. I am getting into video and intending to go for DaVinci as a new user. Despite reading through your advice and specs plus lots of other sites I am completely clueless — it may as well be in another language! If I were to send you some specs would you be able to look over them for me and advise if it would make a wise purchase…?
I realise you are busy and have better things to do but I am really out of my depth here and scared of going the PC route, to be honest. Finding your site has finally brought a degree if clarity even though I have a long way to go. Thank you for your great work. Kind regards, Nick. Hi Nick, I am so sorry for taking so long to reply to you!
Yes, please feel free to send me specs and I can have a look! You can send to richard richardlackey. Hi Richard, No worries. I decided to bite the bullet and went for the souped up pricey MacBook Pro option. One thing would be good to know however — can I connect a 2nd screen to my new laptop to split the Davinci interface between 2 screens? There is a lot going on so would be good to create some room. Many thanks. Kind regards. I have installed Resolve Payed Studio version may be required for multiple GPUs though.
I will however look into this. Hi Richard, I really appreciate your thorough work. Thank you very much. I sometimes make videos needed editing. But for the most part, I use the laptop for entertainment only. So, which laptop will be more suitable for me? Is there any other option better?
And would you mind telling me what drawbacks I may encounter if I use DR free version? If you experience playback issues, I would definitely recommend buying Resolve Studio when you are in a position to do so. Hello, I am having a hard time installing DaVinci Resolve My iMac meets the requirements to run it. I am wondering if there is a specific Mac OS version that I am running High Sierra Hi Steve, sorry for the late reply.
The oldest supported MacOS version is Mac I will be doing 4k video editing with some fusion effects. Right now render and playback is pretty bad. It would be worth asking this or searching through some of the Resolve forums to see what other users are saying. What is the minimum system requirement for making a voice virtual choir split screen using Davinci Resolve Hi Dinesh, sorry for the late response.
Could you explain a bit more what you need to do? I am not sure what you mean by a virtual choir? I will work mostly with p and 4k footages for now.. In any software I would be happy with p playback.. You can find a comparison list in order of performance here. Hi Richard, Thanks dor your valuable writing. I am a learner. I am using an under spec laptop. I mostly work with h. I use optimized media, FHD timeline, render color output, render settings — user.
With help of all these settings I Somehow able to make playback and render my project. But its not smooth at all. And I frequently Face crash, hang, freeze and other sort of problem.
As I am a learner and I dont have the budget To upgrade to a new system or buy the DR Studio Version, can you suggest me any possible Upgradation I can have in my existing laptop to improve DR performance? I can afford to replace Existing hdd with 2. I know it is not the answer you want but I doubt there is anything you can do except invest in a much newer, high performance laptop. Thanks for your response. I mostly struggle when I work in DR color page.
Playback is still somehow manageable. As you described in your article cpu and other component only determine how smooth or fast playback will be. But the gpu will determine how complex color grading or effects can be done in DR. So playback is somehow managed by using optimized media. But I am struggling with color grading. Hello, I read thru your guide.
I am using a SSD 1st as storage. I ask because we are having trouble with smooth play back. Hi Jonathan, yes your system should be fine. If you buy Resolve Studio, you should notice a big improvement to playback as Resolve Studio supports GPU hardware decoding and encoding of h.
Richard — thanks so much for compiling and sharking all of this. Putting the bigger hardware in storage and working from home for a few months while between production cycles. I have a big TB3 raid to hook up and work on. Figured it was worth asking. I sincerely appreciate the info you put out. Its super helpful. Hi Rob, thanks so much! The M is ok though, what kind of codecs and resolutions will you be working with? Thanks for the recco.
Occasional DSLR shot. Send back to Premiere for graphics to be applied and generate deliverables from there. Would like to tinker with DPX sequences and try to see the differences. How do we need to activate GPU to be used by DaVinci — do we have to change some settings or just by being installed on the motherboard it DaVinci will detect and use the graphics. As of now we continue to use the free edition — and will consider a shift to the studio version when there is some budget.
Any thoughts will be of great help — please let us know if you think it is an overkill for what we are doing. Your suggestions would go a long way in helping us. Hi Daniel, your proposed build looks good.
This is only possible with Resolve Studio. The GPU only has to be present, with the right drivers installed. Resolve will recognize it and use it. You can plug your GUI monitor into it also. Will work towards the Suggestions — as well as procuring the studio version as soon as we have a budget after building the Rig! Thanks Again! I need to upgrade my phone as mine is quite old, but I am planning to explore….
I am just a little short of funding to get the i9 with the XT and the 1 TB drive, which is what I want…. Hi Michael, thanks so much! The i7 is already enough CPU power, but of course the i9 10 core is a useful boost. If the capacity of the built in SSD is important, then that rules out number 1. Hello friend, thanks for your great contribution, after reading several questions and answers I was encouraged to make mine.
I was also evaluating the amd RX tx from amd that despite the 8 gb and the price falls short and also I think it is not highly recommended for these tasks and in all the forums I see Nvdia as more recommended for editing than AMD. Thanks for your time, I am honestly on the verge of madness trying to choose a GPU that suits my needs. I wanted to bet on a higher cost CPU so I thought of a cheaper gpu.
Thanks again I await your advice. Greetings from this place called Venezuela. Thanks so much for reading, and for the comment. What kind of video files will you be working with? From which camera? Resolve Studio supports hardware GPU decoding and encoding of h. Thanks for the great post I have i5 16gb ram mhz ddr3 RX 4gb 2tb HDD rpm could you advise me to what upgrade should I do if I go to i7 will it be good or no?
I am in a low budget unfortunately so what should I do? Hi Amr, thanks so much for the question. What codec are the video files you are using? Are you using the free version of Resolve or Resolve Studio? Great article, Richard! This might be helpful. Hi Richard. I need some laptop with specs that can edit mostly p and sometimes 4k.
As long as it can do the job specialy with 4k editing, effects and color grade. Intel HD 2. Which one of these is more suitable? Or none of them are not good enough? Hi, thanks for the great article. Hi Ian, thanks for reading. Yeah, this article was first written a while ago but I keep it constantly updated. Hi Richard, first off, thanks for putting in so much effort into your posts and replies. You really are one of the best sources of clear and understandable information on the web.
I have 2 quick questions: 1. Do you have any articles that walk through the proper installation of Resolve studio once the PC is built and ready to go?
Sorry for the naive questions but I appreciate your expertise. As for proper configuration and installation of Resolve, I could totally write that up.
Hey Richard, first thanks for your awesome work! I dont know if its enough. Hi Davis, thanks for the comment. Thank you for this post! It was very helpful! Would it be better for activities such as color grading and LUDs management? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the recommendations, but at this rate it seems the only computers that will be able to run Davinci Resolve will be built by NASA. Many gaming desktops and laptops are perfect. Computer 3: I7 k clocked at 4. Backlit Keyboard. Comes with charger. Hi Mari, thanks for reading, sorry for the delay in replying.
What kind of camera media are you working with? What codecs and resolution? Hey Richard, thanks for putting together this article. I just started using resolve and I get errors due to my desktop being very old and not too powerful.
I have a black magic pocket cinema camera 6k and shooting raw the file sizes are big. Anyway, I was wondering if you can recommend a Windows desktop computer that is powerful enough to handle resolve and the files from the bmpcc6k.
I am not really good at building computers, so I am looking for a computer that is already built with the Windows operating system on it. I would want to keep this PC for years, so I would like for it to be strong enough and then some. Is that possible with a 4k budget? If so, what would you suggest? Thank you for reading. You could look at an entry level Resolve optimized system from Puget Systems. You could look at gaming desktops, like those from HP Omen.
That leaves some budget for RAID media storage. Always consider backups too. You can use pairs of cheap consumer USB external drives for backups of media that is on your primary working storage, you will clone your media files onto these two drives, and put them both somewhere safe. I took your advice and I ordered the Omen through your affiliate link.
I upgraded to 64MB Ram instead of the I hope you get the affiliate credit. Thank you so much again. Let me know how if I can help with anything once it arrives. Hi, I am planning to edit basic p videos. Currently have a laptop with 4gb ddr4 soldered memory with Ryzen Apu. I was able to launch, play around, and export in Davinci Resolve Nice work!
All of this while still running Windows 8. Then I discovered DaVinci Resolve and how powerful it is. I purchased the software and began regularly editing content on Resolve at a snails pace. This was due to the computers speed; or lack there-of. It could take hours to track a pixel of a 10 minute clip, depending how complex the projects are. After a ton of research, some of which included your articles, do you think I will see a marked difference with this hardware in editing, process, and rendering times?
Any potential conflicts with Resolve using this hardware? Again, thanks for all your advice. I hope they work as good as they sound. Hi Jeff, this sounds like a great setup. You will absolutely notice a performance difference. Then your desktop UI monitor can be any decent desktop monitor. The calibration LUT is generated using the Calman software and a colorimeter. But for Rec. Let me know if I can be of any further help. Do you think I will face any problems editing hd files with this laptop?
If yes, so what kind of problems? You may struggle with real-time playback of H. What is your budget? Maybe I can help suggest something? Hi Caro, thanks for the comment. Sorry not to give you better news. I wanted to share my experience with running Resolve on my system exactly the one I described in my previous comment.
I could run it but in its 14 version. I know this may seem impractical and far too old for many it is for me too , but I adapted to the circumstances and went with it. I just want to share what helped me run Resolve and deliver the work. On the contrary, you should always strive to have the necessary tools for you to work with. Hi Richard, Great website and super valuable content, thank you! Also wondering what rendering times will be like into both H.
What would your preference be in this scenario? Thanks in advance for any insights — your website going to be a reference point I keep coming back to. Hi Luke, great questions. Real-time playback of multiple 4K AVC codec video streams is a stretch for any laptop to be honest, even a desktop workstation. The bottleneck is in decoding highly compressed video codecs like H. Working in a p timeline project will help too, you can just change the timeline resolution back to 4K when you render your final files.
Definitely worth investing in a Resolve Studio license so you get hardware acceleration. Whichever one you choose, you will only get hardware H. Hi Richard, Art again. The biggest upgrade I can make is the iK, although I cannot overclock it on my mobo. I think that will be a more future proof upgrade. And resolve will profit from the extra cores as well. Will the ryzen 7 x together with 16gb of ram and my rx be enough for my needs? It looks like I might need to debug something in my website!
It might make sense to wait a bit and build on a newer foundation later rather than max out your current motherboard with a CPU that is already older.
Hi George, thanks so much for such kind words! Nothing wrong with Premiere Pro at all. My friends seem to enjoy then too, but I am not interested in monetizing the process. And the list of these failings keeps growing! My biggest concern is whether I can effectively use DVR at all on my relatively underpowered laptop. But I am concerned whether essential things will work at all. When people say a certain spec is unsuitable, what standards are they measuring it by?
I do HD resolution videos, with music soundtracks, that are up to 30 minutes long and mostly use stills. I can see I would need to invest a lot of time into learning to use DVR. I am happy to continue producing in HD resolution. Hi John, thanks for the message, and I apologize for taking so long to reply.
You might be surprised though, it might work fine for your needs. I would recommend downloading Resolve, installing, and seeing if it works for you. Hi Richard, thanks for your article! Hi Art, thanks for asking. What codec is your source media? Resolve Studio will give you hardware h. What motherboard are you using? I tried hitting reply to your reply to my comment, but it just takes my page to the end of your reply and there is no box to type a reply in.
Sorry I have to reply like this. With old battery and new battery, if I unplug the laptop it just dies automatically. Just like if you would unplug a desktop. I have done all sorts of stuff as far as power settings and BIOS and everything a couple different websites said to do. I know he edits on battery an absolute ton.
I am looking at used macbook with an i9, 32gb ram, radeon x. Or am I splitting hairs? I always work in a p timeline in Resolve to keep performance smoother and then switch the resolution up to UHD to render the final output.
As long as your camera source files are at least 4K, this is entirely non-destructive. Resolve free version now supports hardware h. I am looking to upgrade my laptop, and am switching from Premiere to Resolve.
I have come to your page time and again just to remember the minimum requirements, but now I finally ask advice. I currently have a Acer V Nitro 17 with Core i7 2. The problem has been battery life, and now it has some issue where if I unplug it at all it just completely dies like unplugging a desktop.
I have switched batteries and done a ton of different things, nothing works to save it. I figure I would rather do editing on a newer laptop and still get life out of this one for other reasons. I have been looking on switching to Macbook for a while.
I know RTX cards are the best for Resolve, but would a Mac work well with the Radeon, since Mac is like configured to do better for video editing? Am I sacrificing quality specs for battery life? Am I crazy to go with Mac after a lifetime on the PC? Does Resolve work better for PC or Mac? Would a good gaming computer like core i7, 16gb ram, RTX be a ton better for me, despite the terrible battery life?
I just am so all over with this. Thank you for your time. You have been awesome. Hi Dewey, thanks for posting. Hi James, looks good to me. It supports hardware h. Hello, I have installed davinci solve the free version, I have the problem that the video is not mp4, it does not work with images or audio is cut. Hi Beto, thanks for reading and asking your question. On your system, you should also only be working in a HD resolution timeline.
Your system will not handle 4K editing, but you should just about be able to work in HD if you generate optimized media. Are you using internal storage in the laptop or do you have an external hard drive? The reason I ask is that this may take up some storage space, so best to use a fast external hard drive if you can. If you generate optimized media in Resolve, it will create new temporary versions of your video files in a format that your computer can play back more easily.
You first need to set up your optimized media format, and set your location to store the temporary optimized media files. The Master Settings tab should be open by default. Then you can save these settings.
If that clip now plays smoothly. Now, depending on how many clips you have, it may take a long time to generate the optimized media, so you might want to leave it overnight to finish. Hello, i would like to buy macbook for davinci resolve, any recommendations? In both cases you can expand the capabilities by using an eGPU over Thunderbolt 3.
It all depends on your budget, and whether you see yourself wanting to do more involved videos in future where you might need a bit more performance. Hey Richard! Thanks for the guide. I have a very quick question. Hi Paul, thanks for reading and for the question! What camera are you shooting with? Will you use the free version of Resolve or buy Resolve Studio? Do you know how much weaker? Most of my work will be cutting, add music and adjust colours, so probably not so much extra effects.
I have my eyes on the new Asus Rog Zephyrus M Do you recommend the iH? Thanks Pedro. Hi Pedro, I think this looks like an excellent laptop for Resolve. I think either CPU will work just fine. The rest of the specs look great. Is there a way i can use egpu with this system?
This imac has thunderbolt 2 port only. Can you recommend any egpu which works with this system? Hi Bhuvnesh, you can try it. First of all thank you so much for this detailed explanation about DaVinci Resolve. Apart from this my wife is working part time as online tutor. Now here are my few concerns: 1. What would you prefer? Free version or Paid? It all depends, the paid version opens up a bunch more built in OFX plugins that are useful, and are watermarked on the free version.
Saying that, the free version is very capable and you can always use it to begin with, and buy the license whenever you want. Resolve can use up to the full maximum bandwidth offered by your SSD, or any storage attached to the system, either internally or externally. A machine with a better discrete GPU would be a better choice. I create videos for YouTube and am looking to get into more detailed video editing. Im currently researching a new computer and found one with the following Specs.
Would these be enough to run Resolve free version to begin with if that makes a difference. Hi James, brilliant! I hope it goes well for you.
