I was producing a video with Power Director 12. I had used it before and didnt have an issue. That was before I got an SSD and Windows 8.1. Now when putting together a video it is very laggy and takes way too long to render. If I remember correctly it would "rendering" the video as I go but now I have to push the play button and wait for it to go through the whole video and slowly render. Then after that I can produce the video.

Computer Specs

Windows 8.1

CPU - i7 980x

RAM - 12 GB

GPU - Evga 780 Classified SLI

Three quick things to check...

Turn off "enable HD video processing (shadow files)" under OPTIONS|GENERAL

Is the latest PD12 update installed?

Check for an updated video driver from the chip manufacturer's WEBsite...

Ok I turned the "enable HD video processing", there are no more updates to install, and I have the latest Nvidia drivers. It is still doing the same thing. Anytime I make a change to the video I have to press play and it will go through the video and render. The "Green" render bar above the timeline is where I am talking about. If it has been rendered it is green. The portions that are not rendered are not green.

You may have to use an earlier video driver like the one you was using before the upgrade. You can also try unchecking the boxes on the Prefs/HA page to see if it solves the problem. Something changed.
