Simple Text Title Causes Preview Rendering

I have been working on a short video clip for a number of weeks (on and off) with no issues. Today I decided to create a text title as the first 5 secs of the video. Simple title, one word, keyframed small to very large over 5 seconds, and "blended" with a simple JPG. This caused PD21 to "render the preview" for the whole clip. I can't find a way to stop this and It seems a major overkill.

To test a theory I created a new project, used a stock image from the media library, added a text title, keyframed from small to large, blended with the image and get the same issue, PD21 insists on preview rendering.

PD19 on the same desktop, does not force Preview Rendering for an identical clip.

PD21 appears to have an issue with titles.

You can check for the HA and preview settings on the PD19. Make the settings the same or lower in PD21 if needed and it should help as it doesn’t happen yet on my pc.

Well I spoke too soon. Everything I now do in PD21 seems to require a "Preview Render". Apart from the delay every time you make a change to the clip it seems to be functioning OK. Even adding a stock image from the media library seems to initiate a preview render.

Hi,

Just covering bases, check preview settings on the timeline and in Preferences>Display are less than UHD and check if Preferences>General>Render preview ...... is NOT selected.
