Hank

Shadow files, if enabled converts the FullHD or 4K videos to a lower resolution,
Example: Fullhd resolution 1920x1080 lines, will be converted to 720x480 lines, this leaves the editing but quick and smooth in the timeline.
At the end you will Produce the video in the resolution that is chosen in Produce.
We'll have time to process the shadow files, but for me it's worth it, if I do not use it for sure, I'll spend more time editing it and I might get annoyed at some point.
Enable and disable shadow file.
PD. Open, Press keys, Alt + C
Preferences / General
Check the box. Enable shadow files ... / OK

Thanks alot for your help to do in shadow files. I will do that in the 80% stoppage projects to see whether it helps or solve the problem. will report it here.

Observation. when I do upload and work on the 100 fukles| project at the same time, it is very slow. Stoppage all the way 10%, 20% etc. Dont have other program running while you work on large project. Memory check from Task manager seems ok, about 4GB used out of 16GB. available.

Hank123, AVPlayVideo, and Elfgren,

If you haven't done so already, please submit a technical support ticket for your issue and then respond with your ticket number so we can pass it on to CL customer service. This will help they duplicate this issue in the lab and then fix.

Hank123: You were asked a few times to generate your DXDiag file. You can find the info here to generate it. CL customer service will require it.

Elfgren: Tack så mycket for the excellent video. We passed it on to CS customer service.

Cheers

Quote The second bug is about inserting a transition on a long timline
and trying to change the length of the transition. Maybe someone found the obvious workarond earlier.

That's really something! I see the same behavior on an Overlap transition when the two clips are part of a long chain, and the problem occurs when I drag the either the starting or trailing edge left or right. In other words, any attempt at changing the transition's length by dragging an edge will cause the long delay.

However, there is no problem if the transition type is Cross. Another workaround besides moving the clips to a different track is to use the Duration icon:



That tool will let you set any value without triggering the delay.

I've also found that the farther to the right on the timeline the transition is, the less it is affected by the delay. Since the delay is also affected by changing which track the clips are on, this strongly suggests that the number of clips that need to be shifted in that track is a big factor.

Near the end of the timeline, only a few clips would be affected by changing the length of an Overlap transition, but near the beginning, almost all the clips are affected so the delay is many times longer. Putting a single clip 5 hours out on the timeline doesn't seem to affect the delay, so the number of clips that are affected seems to be the main factor when the delay occurs.

Actually I found a workaround. As the gopro footage is mostly 4K 50Fps I use the shadowfile possibility. Now Turning off this before loading, the loading is smooth and fast ! After that I can turn it on and editing goes faster. It is obviously some kind of bug when loading a project with the shadowfiles turned on.

Best regards

I had the same issue, freezes at 80%. And I had turn on shadow files. I took them off and problem solved
