# I don't get real time playback in the host application after applying CineDream

**Cause:** Color Correction and texture effects like halation, bloom and grain demand a lot of processing power. Some systems might struggle to play it back in realtime specially on timeline with high resolution footage (4k, 8K). 

**Solution:** Lower the resolution playback on the host application or render timeline.

**DaVinci Resolve**

Go to the Playback menu and lower the Timeline Playback Resolution
