I am not sure about the 32bit of 64bit. It was whatever I was supposed to have, but I can check later.

and I also don't know about the Shadow Files, I can check that when I get home later too.

The delays are the entire time. I will have 3-4 videos of about a minute long on the timeline, and each time i click one of them, it takes 5-10 seconds to register that I clicked it, then when i try to zoom in or out, it takes 5-10 seconds to register i clicked zoom, or when i click to scroll along the timeline, it takes 5-10 seconds to register i clicked to scroll. It is literally everything that does it, and lasts the entire time.

Same operating system? High definition or standard definition?

Run Windows msconfig to see what programs are opened when you boot. Uncheck the ones that are not necessary, hint: Download the free Soluto to help you make the decisions; you can delete it afterwards.

Internal SSD and HDD

Went from windows 7 to Windows 8.1

And alright I can try that.

Quote: Are you using the same video source files as you used before (that worked well), or did you get a new camcorder also ?

Do you have any other programs running - like Anti-Virus or other background program that do auto backups (WD makes a bad one call SmartWare) that is trying to backup your temp files while you are creating them.

Do you have more than one drives - programs on one video on another - or all on one?

Yeah I am using the same video source files that worked before. The webcam is the exact same, the only thing new is the new computer and PowerDirector 13 instead of 12.

I have no other programs running when I am editing videos. Especially no Anti-Virus programs.

I have a 256mb SSD and a 1TB HDD. The videos may be on the HDD, but I know the program itself is on the SSD. Could that be what is causes so much delay?

I used to have PowerDirector 12 on my old computer, which was 5 years old. It ran just fine. I recently (last month) bought a brand new computer with an i5 processor, 24gb of ram, and a brand new graphics card for it. I upgrade to PowerDirector 13 thinking it would be awesome and would run awesome on my new computer. It doesn't. When I am trying to edit videos it literally takes between 5 and 10 seconds to register I've even clicked on the clip, then can take another several seconds to register that I wanted it to do something after that. This makes editing together a 3 minute video take an hour sometimes. Why is it doing this!? Is there any way for me to fix this?
