Optical Flow Quality Settings Affecting Speed Effects

The “Motion estimation mode” pop-up in the Master Settings panel of the Project Settings let you choose the tradeoff between quality and processing speed to use when processing optical flow-based slow motion and frame rate retiming effects. The “Standard Faster” and “Standard Better” settings

are the same options that have been available in previous versions of DaVinci Resolve. They’re more processor-efficient and yield good quality that are suitable for most situations. However, “Enhanced Faster” and “Enhanced Better” should yield superior results in nearly every case where the standard options exhibit artifacts, at the expense of being more computationally intensive, and thus slower on most systems.
