 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here I want to do a video today about Caden live and editing in it and a specific bug I've noticed in which I'm not sure if it's even fair to call it a bug It'll crash when trying to generate a large amount of proxy clips And I think it's just a resource constraint But I think I figured out a way to stop that from happening and I personally love Caden live I know it has a reputation as being buggy on a bunch of Linux and it kind of is a little bit buggy It definitely crashes but having used DaVinci and all of and all the other classic video editors I've invested so much time in learning Caden live that it just does it basically does everything I need to do So I'm kind of interested in fixing bugs rather than just abandoning it So this is the one I've been having and it took me Stupidly long to figure out what was going on. So the way I typically use Caden live is this is my video my video drive here So I go out I shoot some video and then he organized it into these these archives So this is from shooting at the beer festival last night. It's probably an archive of about maybe 50 clips Potentially even more actually so what I would do is as I as I say, okay I'll watch the video clips in VLC player and as I need one I'll drag and drop onto my timeline now. You can see what's happening here. It stops already But the proxy clip was generating and that was creating an overhead now proxy clips are great Especially if you're working on a fairly low resource machine like my one which is an I3 and you're trying to do something like edit and 4k, right? Now this is fine You can see the original clip and you can see the proxy clip and something else about proxy clips You can actually take that out of proxy mode and now you can see the resolution in my Preview monitor is is 1080p res which is what I shot this clip at now The problem that I was having was that I was editing my video and as I was doing this dropping in more clips Collectively it was this is why I have the resource monitor open here It was just using up too much RAM that didn't work So I'm gonna just try to do this again Importing to the bin so now I'm putting the system under a lot of stress, right because it's got to bring in this clip and Keep the timeline going and it's just too much and that was what I determined was leading to my crashes So what you're supposed to do don't try to save time or make life easier This is my advice anyway regarding proxy clips by doing it all at once I'm going to just clear out my bin what I found it better to do Is just go to the folder that you want and I'm gonna just click okay here Now you can see there's already some kind of buggy-ness happening in the sense that It should be it should be loading now and my bin should be populating So it's putting the system under more stress because firstly Caden life has to read the folder Then it's gonna have to generate a proxy clip for every single clip in this archive But you can see it's running through the job as a batch now, right? 67 57 we're counting down and if I just pop open this guy Again is the systems a bit brittle at this period when it's generating proxy clips But that's finished and now that wasn't too bad. That was like what I Don't know 10 seconds to get through this whole clip archive You have to watch them now in Caden live as opposed to the third player, but we've separated out We've already done the proxy clips and now they're just ready to pop into the timeline So that's gonna just reduce the resource overhead on the CPU and the RAM Trust well, I was gonna say trust me this works based on my experience since I started using this editing workflow as opposed to just generating proxies on the fly This has stopped the crashing and it took me like literally a month of editing to be like Oh, it's crashing every time I try to drop in more clips and it's doing the proxy thing on top of everything else It's doing so. Yeah, this is this is good And I also like really like proxy clips just because it does It's another thing that'll reduce the the crashes of your system because you're just working with lighter files on the timeline So it's all about being you know being Trying to be gentle with your CPU and your memory and not overloaded at any one time Because it seems to be that those bottlenecks are what causes the the clashes those literal literal and resource bottlenecks Hope the video is useful and if you'd like to get more videos from me about Kate and live and other subjects Please subscribe to this YouTube channel
