Project Preview won't play Smooth - it stutters.

Post by ProjectDan35 »

Hey guys,

I just installed VideoStudio Pro x5. After creating a few clips, I go to play the project and the preview video image studders, and plays a clip here and there, but my music plays smooth.

I have all the hardware acceleration box's checked ( there's 3 of them ). I don't know what to do, I read this is the least demanding video editing program. I also meed the minimum system requirements?

OK - next question - have you enabled "Smart Proxy" when editing

"Settings >> Preferences >> Performance" - click to check "Enable Smart Proxy"

I should note that this only happens when playing the entire project, not when playing individual clips.

Did you allow time for the proxy files to be made. It is a somewhat slow process so you have to be patient.
