I’m still worried though about this being a problem. I actually got it to export fully, so that’s good. I cleaned up the drive a bit before adding and rendering footage, there was ~150gb free when trying to render. I have most of my footage stored on my 4tb HHD, although the footage I am actively working on is on my OS drive, which is also the fastest, the Seagate Barracuda, which is what I’m also exporting on. I’ve spent all day trying to get this to work, what can I try? Because of how long it takes to render, it happens every few hours., which means that I need to wait a few hours after every attempt to see if it works. Although it stops randomly, I don’t think it’s ever gone beyond 40%. The footage is decently long, I have around 2 and a half hours of 4K footage to render, so it takes a while. I again waited for maybe another 20 minutes of nothing, and then restarted. The bar doesn’t progress, the timer doesn’t go down, and clicking stop doesn’t do anything. I left it for a while, yet randomly it just… stops the render. I didn’t have a lot left to do, so I quickly finished it up and started rendering. I’ve tried waiting for it to respond and play the preview for up to 20 minutes, but it’s just stuck. This happens quit often on my last project, with it freezing up on me every few minutes. The only way I can prevent Resolve just shutting down on me when this happens, is to open task manager, end the task, and then it will let me reopen it. If I close Davinci resolve, then it won’t open again until I restart my computer. I jump to part of the timeline that I want to play, but when I press the spacebar or click play nothing plays. Randomly during editing resolve stops playing the preview.

Hi, I’m currently using the free version of Davinci Resolve 17, and these are my pc specs.
