Nope.
My platform is fast enough for 1080p editing.
Usually VGA card accelerates video effects and decode/encode.

At this moment, nVidia GTX960 is my best choice since it has HEVC (H.265) hardware decoder and encoder.
Have you try Windows Media Player? Can it display track info correctly?
Yes, since you shoot in 240fps, you will get editing balance when you need slow motion.

But unfortunately, most of modern devices will drop video quality in high frame rate...you can find some comparisons on YouTube.
I tried 240fps video from HERO4 and it works great.
You can find Video Speed in Power Tools if you like to have slow motion.
nVidia drops CUDA encoder just because they want to promote new NVENC technology (and sell new cards!)
anyway, my GTX960 can enable hardware encoder even with 4K 60fps profile.
Quote: I'm editing a 20 minute video down to a 2 minute version. When I cut sections out and try playing them back to see the results, the clip first freezes then the time line marker jumps ahead about 20 or 30 seconds where it sits until the video, which I can't see, catches up..


It looks like decoder performance issue to me...
What is your video codec, bitrate and resolution? and the system spec?
PowerDVD 14 and my old PS3 both can play my 60FPS BD made by PowerDirector 13.
Well, producing H.265 is too heavy for current CPU, let's cross finger for Intel, AMD or NVIDIA if they can provide hardware encode soon, I guess they will have hardware decode first, especially for coming next generation 4K Blu-ray disc.

Quote: Mike,

This works like a charm! However, still wish there was some
way like Ctrl+Drag for instance, to drag a clip to the timeline, and get the video (or the audio) by itself.

Thanks for the tip!


Ctrl/Shif/...+Drag are occupied by ripple editing hotkeys
However, you can find extract audio from context menu in library to get pure audio from your video.
Try the steps:
1. Add 2 videos and the recorded clip to timeline
2. Select added clips
3. Click the "Sync by audio"
Quote: I'm not so sure that's correct. Isn't the standard for DVD a frame rate of 60i? An exception might be 60p on some players, but PD is always 60i in the create disc. Please forgive me if that is wrong.


Barry is right, DVD video has 29.97 and 25FPS only, BD has 24FPS

Quote: Which one gives me a project that matches the frame rate of 23.976 fps in the .MOV video from my Canon camera to smooth out the video preview and burn?


You should set 24FPS.
Two ways to copy/paste keyframes:
1. Select the clip on timeline, you will find copy/paste keyframe attributes in context menu, it's for all attributes.
2. Select the clip on timeline, then click "Keyframe" button on tips area to Keyframe Settings, you can select particular attribute here to do copy/paste.
Quote: Thanks.
So you are saying that my 23.976 fps .MOV Canon camera video clip will match my project's frame rate if I chose 24 FPS (film) in PD? And I can burn it onto a DVD HQ with PD's Create Disk function, and it will play on most any DVD player in the USA?


Correct

For the playback issue, what's the preview resolution do you use? According to your platform info, I suggest to use "High Preview Resolution".
I have to say Apple does not care the QuickTime PC version very much, they don't even provide 64bit version!
Almost every movie's DVD/BD uses 24fps, so it should be working no matter your region is NTSC or PAL, but you need to make sure the frame rate setting matches your clips to avoid the jerky problem.
It works for me, my build number is 13.0.2123
What are you going to copy & paste, opacity? scale?
I never use hardware encode for video editing because the quality is not better than software encode.
Currently there is no VGA can accelerate H.265 encode.

1 minute video (1920x1080):
AVC H.264 @ 16MBps = 116MB
HEVC H.265 @ 16MBps = 118MB
HEVC H.265 @ 10MBps = 73.4MB (~60%)
HEVC H.265 @ 8MBps = 58.1MB(50%) * in this render, the differences showed up in fast sections

1 minute 4K project:
AVC H.264 @ 24MBps = 171MB
HEVC H.265 @ 24MBps = 172MB
HEVC H.265 @ 15MBps = 109MB (~60%) *
HEVC H.265 @ 10MBps = 73MB (~40%) *


Hi Tony,
you don't need to use the same bit rate in H.265
H.265 saves your disk space because it can use less bit rate to get the same quality as H.264

For example, 24Mbps in H.264 may need only 16Mbps in H.265
