If that setting is off, there is definitely still caching going on. My best guess is that it forces to cache nodes that are directly used for playback but which otherwise are not considered processor-intensive enough to require caching. This feature in Fusion Studio is equally well documented - that is it's also absent from the manual. 'Auto' presumably might do something similar to the 'Only if slower than X frames' - whatever X might be here.

I'm preparing a detailed Resolve-Fusion performance tutorial and this feature is the one that still confuses me.įusion Studio Playback Memory Cache.png (84.04 KiB) Viewed 5677 times So this is definitely after any Fusion 'Memory' cache so I don't think that's related to the feature. However, the whole render cache thing (blue line) starts after the Fusion output. Sequence cache - triggered by edit transitions and any type of edit page compositing with transparency or blend mode other than 'normal'.ĭependency here is also clear: if you make any change, every cache down the line is impacted and needs to be updated as per the sequence. Color Page Cache - cache the full color page output Node level Cache in color page (triggered by Noise Removal, Motion Blur, OFX) Cache on OFX or Fusion FX effects (can only be manually activated) Fusion render cache (previously source cache): Takes effect after Fusion (if Fusion is used) and in smart render node is also triggered by processor intensive media (h.264,h.265, raw) or clip attributes like rescale It is a disk cache which is either manually triggered or off or follows the logic of the smart render cache. The blue bar relates to the render cache, which is actually documented quite well.

that really costs a lot of time and nerves. The blue bar unfortunately provides no information about this and you can not look at a clear place, but must - if something does not run smoothly - always test everything. The settings partly influence each other and you can never be sure what is being cached and why. The cache settings are really very confusing and user unfriendly.
