Hi! I am new to the forums and very new to the video editing world. I previously have been using Camtasia to edit my videos. It was very fast but did not have the features I wanted. My videos come off my Camcorder in 1080p at 60fps in a .MTS file type which is not something that Camtasia can work with natively. It Also does not work with 60fps.

So I read some reviews and bought Cyberlink PowerProducer 10.

I have two video clips, which I removed the audio from. I put them in the timeline and when I click play to watch them it plays for a few seconds and then renders. This can take forever sometimes, especially with long videos. Without doing that I cannot skip around my video to add effectsm because the preview window won't show any scenes from the video. Is there something I am doing wrong here?

With Camtasia, I would do much the same (after I converted my files into an mp4 since Camtasia wont use what my Sony Camcorder puts out) drag the videos into my timeline, hit play and it instantly plays, I can also jump anywhere I want in the timeline without this rendering stuff. Please help, let me know if you need more info. I still very much a novice with this!
