This is quicker than actually rendering the section as another file for playback) Programs like Sony's Vegas have Dynamic RAM preview (basically you can render complex sections in RAM for preview to see if the effects you have inserted have th desired effect. Other options that may be open to you are:. More professional setups will use hardware to do a lot of the number crunching & take the load. the harder it works the slower it will get. When it gets to sections where you have effects & transitions the computer has to work harder & the frames per second of playback start to slow. What will tend to happen is that when you playback your video from the timeline it will playback your video as captured and all will be fine. This can become very frustrating I know when you are trying to preview how your master piece is going to look. If you have lots of effects edits and transitions your computer may grind to a halt. My main worry is that when I eventually go to burn my DVD that i will get exactly what I see on the playback.Īpplying video effects & viewing them in real time whilst editing requires a lot of power. I'm not totally convienced that what I'm experiencing is totally down to the software but then I'm not a PC expert and wouldn't know for sure. If so, did you get round this problem and how? I bet, from reading other reviews, there is someone out there who has experienced the same problem.

So I saved my project and switched off for the night hoping that maybe the heat inside my PC was causing my system to under perform. I did all my system checks (DMA on HDD, close all background progs, defrag HDD etc.) but it didn't improve. The most notable thing that happened on playback was that the Transistions do not operate properly and sometimes do not appear at all causing the video to jerk and skip to the next scene. Loaded up my Pinnacle Studio 9 last night and downloaded the latest upgrades and patches.Īll was working well during the early part of editing but I found that the more video I added the worse Studio performed (especially on playback).
