I love this program and its Fairlight and Colour features (especially the user interface) but I will not continue to use it if i cannot find a solution to its low performance issues. My other theory is - I did start the project in premier, then saved the file and re-opened it into DaVinci so I could finish it off with DaVincii color grading and Fairlight features. Is it my computer that is making this program slow? Are we having program issues? My questions are: I didn't have any of these issues with premier.

Should be powerful enough for this program to operate with little to no issues. I bought it for this film I am cutting up. My computer is new, purchased three weeks ago and is clean. When I try to edit my markers through the Fairlight INDEX, it shuts down the program. The sound just switches off and I have to shut down the software and re-open it again? It has 4 second pauses and plays half a micro second in between them lol.

Loading media in EDIT and as I playback this media it just doesn't work.

Playback is super lazy, it lags and sometimes does not play. I shifted from Adobe Premier in hope to run a much user friendlier, efficient and productive production. I am running (Well, painfully trying) DaVinci Resolve 17.2 Studio, it came with my Blackmagic 4k camera.
