So I have been trying to work with DaVince Resolve. I chose a laptop with Intel i7 7th gen, 16gb of ram 256 gig solid state drive (also 1tb of storage) and a Nvidia GeForce gtx 1050 graphics card.
All that sounds great but come to find out that is not enough to run It smoothly. The cpu only utilizes 1 of its cores at a time (I know, stupid right?) And the "graphics card" is integrated into the motherboard and does not have a stand alone cooling system. The cpu and gpu are inherently locked together.
When running the program, just playing the imported media, it is laggy even before you start to work with it. I am considering another program, like Premiere Pro, in place of Resolve.
Are there any other programs that someone can recommend to me that would work better on my system? Thanks in advance.
