More details.

What is the source of your videos? What is the resolution of the videos?

Hi Carl
Im using a canon HF20 HD camera.
Recording mode mxp.
Frame rate 24F 24mbps.
In the preview window Ive tried all the settings.
Hope this helps.

Here is my dxdiag Gary

Usually when a video plays smoothly in the media room and juddery on the timeline is down to computer or video card power.

You see in the media room all your computer has to do is play the video.

When you drop it onto the timeline your computer has to alter every frame of the video to the specifications you have allocated on the timeline. For example a simple stabilization setting means your computer has to analyze every frame to see if it needs stabilization or not.

Even if you don't have any alterations on the timeline your computer still has to analyze every frame to see if it needs editing or not.

You may get some help by reducing the playback quality. The setting is under the playback screen.

I have a very powerful computer and still have to choose the second setting down if I have a complicated timeline.

The produced video will not have the problem. My youtube channel====> http://www.youtube.com/user/relate2?feature=mhsn

Hi e.x.gary71 -

I'd endorse what Robert has said about CPU/GPU power.

Whichever particular graphics card it is in the AMD HD 6700 series, you should update your drivers as they're over 12 months old. I'm not suggesting that will solve your issue, but it might eliminate possible causes.

Hi All
Thank you for all the help.
Ive tried producing a dozen clips without any editing & it makes no difference they still do the same thing.

Hi Gary,

Here are a couple of things to try.

1. Do a test using the included cyberlink nature video. If that is still juddery it sounds as though it may be something about your computer. If it is not it could be the format from your camera.

2. Upload a short test video 5-10 seconds of un-edited footage straight from your camera to your post so we can try it on our computers.

3. Make sure you have updated your video drivers as they can solve a multitude of problems.

Cheers

Hi, here is a clip as per ur request. Thank you very much for your time and efforts Gary

Hi Gary -

Thanks for the sample clip.

It plays fine in media library, timeline & media viewer, here.

Media Info report attached

Try shooting a clip at a lower quality setting (say FXP @ 17MBps) & see if that makes a difference on your PC.

Hi Gary, Also runs smoothly on my machine, timeline and produced.

1. Did you update your video drivers? This is really important and as I said solves many editing problems.

2. Something I did notice is you shot your video using "Interlaced" option. Interlaced is an old carry over from analogue TV's. Without getting all complicated you are better off shooting in "Progressive" mode.

Interlaced records half a frame at a time then combines them when processing. Progressive records a single frame at a time so no added overhead when editing or playing back.

3. As Tony suggested try recording at 17mbps plus progressive instead of interlaced to see if that gives your computer an easier time.

Editing video is about the hardest thing you can ask your computer to do, especially editing full blu-ray quality 1920X1080 24mbps as your video is.

Before I upgraded my machine I had to shoot at 1280X720 to guarantee my machine could edit my videos easily.

Let us know how you go and believe me there are sooo many people out there who buy their new HD video camera and find out their computer is not powerful enough to edit full HD video. Drop the recorded quality a bit and if that solves your problem.

Cheers

Hi everybody
Thanks for all the help Im going to try everything you told me tomorrow & I will let you know how I make out.
And yes my drivers are updated.
Thanks again for all the help.

Hi,
Just a wee note here hope you updated drivers from the manufacturers websit not windows update. Windows sometimes is behind times for drivers.

Hi everybody
Well Ive tried everything that Ive been told to try & my clips are still doing the same thing.
Ive updated my drivers & done just about everything still no luck .
Would uninstalling PD10 & reinstalling help.

Gary S Gary

Gary -

Did you try recording a clip in FXP mode yet?

I doubt that an uninstall/re-install will correct it. It's sounding more like your PC is under more loads than it's comfortable with.

Hi,
Why is your Windows DPI setting not at 96DPI? as it should be?
Try lowering it.
