Let me know if you notice anything. Thanks.

I have not found a fix yet.

I confirmed that I am using the GTX 1060 graphics card (not integrated intel) per the suggestion of a forum member. http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/47907.page#250514

I made all adjustments suggested by CyberLink Support and put the preview resolution to the lowest setting, even with all the changes, I noticed no noticeable improvement.

Example of performance: When I click on the timeline and click another location on the timeline, then press space-bar, I counted 4 seconds till the preview started playing. (This is after all the suggested changes) I'm experiencing similarly poor performance when doing other tasks.

I will keep you all updated. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

CyberLink Support Suggestion:

Enable shadow file and wait for shadow file generated: http://www.cyberlink.com/support/product-faq-content.do?id=16454&prodId=4

Enable all HW Acceleration setting: http://www.cyberlink.com/support/product-faq-content.do?id=12777&

low down preview quality (it would be the most useful)

I would suggest you to use non-realtime preview when editing. It would be no sound in the preview. But it is a possible solution to edit HD video in low performance PC.

**Edited for formatting.

When you're running the integrated graphics, does PD 15 run slow?

I'm trying to diagnose why PD 15 is laggy. I am running a GTX 1060 graphics card as well. I see PD 15 in the NVIDIA Control Panel under 'Manage 3D settings' > 'Program Settings'. Can you please explain how you determine if it's using the internal Intel graphics as opposed to the NVIDIA card?

Thanks.

Yes, same for me. Frustratingly slow.

I opened a support ticket yesterday. I'll post any findings here. I'm still waiting for a response.

I can't think of any reasons why it would be running slow, especially when considering the computer I'm running on.

I installed PD 15 today and started editing some videos. I am getting pretty consistent slowness and lagging while editing. I generally get 0.25-2+ second delays between when I drag, cut, resize, or do most general tasks. (Occationally it doesn't lag, but it's uncommon and in short bursts)

If I have a bottleneck hardware wise, please advise. (Specs listed below) Otherwise, Does anyone have any ideas on how I can diagnose this? I'm at a loss. It's usable, but painful.

Software:
PowerDirector 15 Full (Not Trial Version)

Video Quality Being Edited:
720p Video

Setup:
Windows 10
6600k I5 at 4.5 Ghz CPU
GTX 1060 GPU
16GB 3200 DDR4 Memory
M.2 HDD (Fastest hdd read/write speeds)
