During editing I have inserted some Power Tools such as Reverse Clip and when I play the segment the software just stops to render and take ages. How on earth I am suppose to edit in such constraints.

You may have put the restraints into the program. Read the following about preview rendering:
CyberLink PowerDirector provides two modes you can use to preview your video production:

· Real-time Preview: synchronizes and renders clips and effects in real-time, displaying a preview of your video at the specified frames per second. See the TV format option in General Preferences for information on setting the correct frame rate for your production.

· Non Real-time Preview: mutes the audio and displays a preview at a reduced speed to help make editing much more fluid. Useful when editing high-definition video, using multiple PiP tracks on a less powerful computer, or when you receive dropped frames when previewing. By muting the audio and slowing down the video, CyberLink PowerDirector lets you view more frames per second when your computer has trouble providing a smooth preview during editing.

Also if the rendering starts and stops frequently, we have seen this with some of the more recent video drivers. Remove what you have and re-install one from last October or so. 306.XX.

Give is more detail about what and when this happens. I know that you have posted the dxdiag file in another post but save the people responding some time and include it here also.

Possibly too new. Se my comment above re issues with the latest NVidia drivers. .

What is the Build version of your PowerDirector.

There is a Patch for PD 11 that fixes the Nvidia "rendering" problem.

You only need the latest patch.

I have updated to 306 driver as requested.

Yesterday, I rendered a project and took 1 hour. Today the same project is taking 2 hours and 30 minutes with minor amendments.

This software is so inconsistent......

David: I have looked at your dxdiag file and nothing jumps out at me. I am running two GTX580s in SLI and I note that your computer appears to have two GTX450s. I am running the nvidia 310.70 drivers without problems. I know that there is a more recent driver, but I always wait until I am certain that video driver updating is not going to cause me PD11 problems.

There was one post that came to mind where SteveK recommended reducing the dpi settings and that solved a problem, not quite the same as yours, but I was just wondering whether it might be an issue. There is definitely something knocking down your GPUs, which are more than adequate for video editing. Is your SLI enabled? I have had it both on enabled and disabled and haven't seen your problem either way.

Here is the link to the thread that SteveK responded to:

http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/26074.page#141852

I will be very interested to find out what the problem is?

Hope this is of some help. Have a great day.

Phil thanks for your reply. The rendering now is working quite ok and there seems to be no problems. Reducing the percentage of FONT size definitely solved 90% of the problems I was experiencing.

Thanks for now. Good day.

David: Glad to hear that SteveK's response to another user was also able to help you out.

One wouldn't think that the Windows dpi font size should impair PD11 from rendering promptly. Sounds to me suspiciously like an "enhanced feature" which perhaps Cyberlink will terminate with the next patch/version.

Have a great day.
