Hi georgemon,
Please attach diagnostic files and information of the camera/footage being edited.

Hi,

The programme worked well in the previous version so have to presume some sort of software problem is involved?

Have Avast antivirus pro if this is relevant.

Thanks,

George Thanks, George

Is anyone else experiencing this type of problem? Not sure it is the video driver but suspect the culprit is with either Nvidia or PD software and not something else on my machine. Thanks, George

I am also having this problem with an AMD Radeon 6470 M

Hi,
According to your dxdiag file you only have 42GB free on C drive...Pd!! requires 100GB free so your system struggles and has to refresh/rewrite the cache... causing jittering etc..

p.s. My personal opinion others may differ... Intel i7-2600@3.4Gz Geforce 560ti-1GB Graphic accelerator, windows 7 Premium 12GB memory

Thank you for the data. Next time please provide the MediaInfo as a text file.

1. Please provide a sample file, 5 seconds long. Point shoot with your camera, record 5 seconds and then upload it.
2. What have you set the Preview display at? See suggested settings in the attached image.
3. Does PDR11 give the same stuttering when you insert the sample Nature.mpg into the tracks and preview it?
4. Please provide a screenshot of the Edit Workspace with your project insitu. It is important for us to see what you're looking at and the project make up.
5. Where are your Media files sourced from - which HDD?
6. Free up space on your C drive - maximize the working, processing room for video.

You appear to be editing 44mbps video from a Canon or similar still camera. Is that correct? The bitrate quality of such video demands a higher spec computer/graphics card than you have. I see you have used Mpeg7. Just my opinion.

Preview player settings - what I use.


edit: minor changes.

Couple of points that may be significant.

I have freed up C drive to 110GB so that hopefully is enough. Is there any way to have PD use another drive like a SSD one? I have also changed the preview to that suggested.

mp4 files import/load and can be used failry quickly.

mov files: as soon as I click on the file (in the file location) to import it - it takes about 20-30secs before I am able to do that, even for small file sizes. Once imported the file takes about 20-30secs to show up in the preview window or I can work on it. The delay of 20-30 secs is pretty much contstant every time I make a change or click on the file to work on it.

mp4 files dont seem to have that problem neither has MTS files - even at 1.7gb in size.

The real problem seems to be Canon mov files.
Thanks, George

Hi georgemon ,

Thank you for the additional information.

SSD, yeah, you can use one. However, it wont help you much in this instance due to the limitations of your PC/graphic card spec being unable to process very high bitrate video files from a Canon (7D? etc).

24/28 mbps is the standard max for consumer video cameras. A quad system will cope with this type of footage when it has a 1 gb card. However when replying on multiple tracks and additional effects a system will "struggle", more like choke! Adding a 44mbps Canon mov file into the mix is "just hopeless". basically you need to raise the spec of your PC to cope with the quality footage the Canon is providing or chose a spec in the Canon your computer can handle. Please note, it isn't an mp4/mov issue, it is a bitrate quality issue - the higher the bitrate the less able your PC/graphics can handle it.

Before I forget, update your Nvidia drivers to the latest - the roll back wasn't needed.

The above is just my opinion.

Hi,

Thank you for that.

Will build a new PC fairly soon if that is required, or would simply upgrading the video card be enough? Just re-read you post. Looks like a whole new PC for me. I think its time it was upgraded anyway.

How would I change the drive to my ssd unit as there does not appera to be an option available in the preferebces list?

Thanks again. Thanks, George

Would those with knowledge on the subject suggest 2 x graphic cards solution in a new updated system or would one good card suffice?

Any info on specs to run PD comfortably would be appreciated. Thanks, George

Hi George,
1. Not sure what you meant regarding SSD, change drive.
2. Please post your new question as a new topic. Look up other threads on a similar theme as well.

Hi,

Sorry, you said in your previous post that you could use the SSD drive for PD to access. Just looking for a way to direct PD to look at that drive as a swap file/work area. Rather than use the "C" drive.

Hopefully that makes sense? Thanks, George

I import/save my project files in a number of HDD. For example see images.

Hope that helps
