Currently running Power Director 11, and Windows 7

When I edit videos 1080, or above, my video flow hesitates. 1080 isn't to bad, but 2.7k, ans 4K are really bad.
All other editing functions perform great. It's just when playing the video, while editing, or previewing, that the flow will hesitate.
Then it will catch up and be ok for a while.

Seems to be related to transition points when this happens. Not always!

When I render, and produce a 1080, 2.7K or 4K (*.mp4) video, and play it on my VLC Media Player, it plays great. No hesitation at all.
It's just while editing this happens.

Would a later version edit higher resolution videos better?
If so, which newer version is considered to be most reliable? I really don't need a lot of newer fancy stuff packed into the newer versions. I'm happywith the features in PD11 Ageing Gracefully

Check in Preferecias, General if not check, enable shadow files.
I do not remember in PD11 as it was.

In PD16 when adding the videos in the library, a yellow logo appears in each video, after all turns green, the edit should be smooth in the timeline. XEON-E5-2680 v4 / Mem. 16GB DDR4
M.2 NVME 512Gb / 2-SSD Sata3 1TB
AMD RX570 / Display Philips 272V8
Windows 11_64Pro / PD22/365

Thanks for suggestions!

In PD-11 under [Preferences] [General] the "Enable HD Video Processing. (Shadow File)" is checked.

When I import a video into the [Media Room] (Libary) there are NO icons showing. Just the box indicating the presence of the video. Ageing Gracefully
