EditFast: VRAM-Powered Cache for Video Editors
A plug-in for Premiere and DaVinci Resolve that watches your timeline and silently stages previews, proxies, and export buffers on a VRAM disk so 4K timelines scrub without the usual stutter.
Indie video editors and YouTubers editing 4K timelines on a Windows gaming PC
- Auto-detect project resolution and budget VRAM for a proxy cache that won't starve your GPU preview
- Drop-in Premiere/Resolve panel showing cache hit-rate and reclaimed export time per project
- Smart eviction that flushes the VRAM cache only after a project is exported and closed
- Optional 'preview first, render later' mode that lets editors iterate without touching their slow SSD
4K timelines now ship on gaming GPUs, but editors still watch their previews stutter because Resolve and Premiere default to slow disk caches — VRAM is sitting idle.
4K timeline stutter is widely documented (Adobe's own choppy-playback troubleshooting, XDA/miracamp guides on fixing playback), and VRAMDISK GitHub repo trending confirms VRAM-disk interest from the target audience.Fix choppy playback in Premiere | Premiere - Adobe Inc. ↗12 DaVinci Resolve settings to change for faster editing ↗
No direct competitor found; the VRAM-as-cache-for-NLE niche is empty — existing Resolve/Premiere plugins focus on color, VFX, transitions, and LUTs, not disk-cache acceleration.20+ FREE DaVinci Resolve Plugins In 2026 - FreeVisuals ↗VRAMDISK: Create VRAM disk on Windows - GitHub ↗
Paid Resolve plugins like CineMatch and Neat Video exist, but the free-plugin culture in Resolve plus the 'just buy more RAM/SSD' hardware reflex caps willingness to pay for a caching utility.Purchase | Neat Video ↗CineMatch Installation - CineMatch ↗
Consumer GPU VRAM is growing (12-24GB standard) and 4K editing demand is steady, keeping the use case relevant; main risk is NLE hosts adding native VRAM-aware caching themselves.Best PC for Video Editing & 4K Premiere in 2026 - Grey PC ↗
VRAMDISK already provides the hard primitive (VRAM-backed disk on Windows); remaining work is redirecting Premiere/Resolve cache directories and bounding buffer size — doable but requires SDK/scripting work per host.VRAMDISK: Create VRAM disk on Windows - GitHub ↗
