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

Go to the Playback menu and select Render Cache Smart

Adobe Premiere Pro

Go to viewer and lower the playback resolution.

Go to the Sequence menu and select Render In to Out.

Final Cut Pro

Go to the viewer, open the View dropdown menu and select Better Performance.

Go to Final Cut (upper left corner), click on Settings. Then enable Background Render from the Playback Panel.
