Iam using PD 9 ultra and have a problem when trying to quickly slide along the timeline
to the desired point. The machine will stop for a few seconds before catching up.
Obviously over a large number of cuts and trims this can really slow your work flow.
Iam editing HD with shadow files but I have a quad core pc with 6gb ddr3 and 1gb nvidia GC.

Has anyone got a software/windows tweak or something?

thanks IanT

How much the pause depends on the power of your video card and your computer processing speed.

Even with the computer I have I get pauses if I move the slider too fast. It is more noticeable with HD videos.

If you want to skip without the pause, you can type a time in the Preview then hit Enter.
Does not help if you are scanning to remove commericals.

Thanks Carl312

It appears its not just my problem. i will continue with a workaround of clicking along the timeline to skip
rather than slide.
