hello all!

when I scrub back and forth with the timeline, and it not smooth at all and frames are dropped.
I feel as if PD is not using my strong GPU proprely, and to much stress is on the CPU.

Any ideas how to overcome this?

I am currently using the free version - could this be the issue?
Thank you!
Dan

FAQ #7 a little dated for PD21, this statement:
"- Run on a higher-end computer with more memory and 64-bit OS for editing complex HD projects."
PD has not run on a 32-bit platform since PD17, that's a 5 year old product!

I think that there is something wrong with the marketing and communication in general. Look at the announcement for the new forum, with changed wording, the communication around the various products and their version number. I received an email from CL yesterday about the August release, mentioning the 2023 July release in the top and referring to odd versions of the various products. The communication around the stuff in the Director Zone etc. It looks like both the sales, documentation, the development and test departments need to be addressed.
