Table Of Contents
To alter any preference setting:
1 Click on the name of any group of settings in the sidebar at the left to open that panel.
2 Change whatever settings you need to change.
3 Click Save to apply the changes you’ve made and close the Preferences window.
If you’ve updated certain System Preferences, you’ll be prompted to restart DaVinci Resolve,
but if you’ve updated the User Preferences, this will probably be unnecessary.
Individual Preferences and Settings Based on Login
As of DaVinci Resolve 16, there are individual preferences and settings for each login account
on a given computer. This means that multiple artists can each have their own operating system
login, and DaVinci Resolve will maintain separate workspace layouts and preference states for
each artist, depending on who’s logged in.
Resetting Preferences
Resetting all preferences to their defaults is simple. Click the Option menu at the upper right
corner of the Preferences window and choose Reset System Preferences.
System
The System pane of the Preferences window consists of a series of panels that configure the
computer and other hardware that comprises your DaVinci Resolve workstation.
Memory and GPU
The top section of this panel provides Memory Configuration options, while the bottom section
of this panel provides controls over how GPU processing is handled.
Memory Configuration
This section has the following preference settings handling memory usage.
System Memory: The total available RAM on your workstation is listed here.
Limit Resolve Memory Usage to: This preference limits the total amount of system
memory that Resolve uses, keeping memory available for other applications.
The maximum and default setting for this preference is 75 percent of your
system’s RAM.
Limit Fusion Memory Cache to: Lets you limit how much RAM the playback cache on
the Fusion page is allowed to use. Depending on the length of clips you’re working on
in the Fusion page, the playback cache can occupy a considerable amount of available
memory. The amount you allocate here is taken from the total amount of memory
allocated by the “Limit Resolve Memory Usage to” setting.
