I have same problem, it only renders second every two seconds when i play... pretty much unbearable.

I also noticed that PD13 takes 99% disc usage when playing movie. I have flash disk, is it too slow ?



EDIT: hmm, i disabled all hardware accelerations from PD settings, it seems there is no rendering anymore Try it out and tell if it makes difference

Try switching "shadow files" off

EDIT - PREFERENCES - uncheck ENABLE HD VIDEO PROCESSING. Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

Are you really tring to render video on an USB stick? No wonder is so slow!

Lol, i ment ssd

That did help too, but after adding effect, transition for example, it starts again using 99% HD time, before adding it was like 1%

I run my system on SSDs and they are super fast.

You could try using Format Factory to convert the MTS to MP4. I find mixing the two doesn't work too well. Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

Hi this thread mat have some relevent pointers.

This sounds like a great idea, I'll try that.

I did not know about the Format Factory. Can I convert clips that are in my video (i.e. part of the composition already rather than just in my library) as well?

Also I had never heard of the MTS format before I grabbed the files from my camcorder, I thought perhaps it was newer and hence less supported.

Well i reinstalled Windows 8.1 from the scratch. No studdering at all. Everything is fast and smooth

Try downloading the free Format Factory, but you will have to convert the originals ie before they go into the timeline, indeed before they go into PD at all. As a matter of interest, if your camcorder delivers MTS files, can I ask what is the source of the MP4. What do you think your main source will be in the future?

Note that converting the MTS in FF to MP4 will most likely reduce the bitrate quite a lot resulting in a slight loss of quality, but that's what makes them playable so easy in PD.

However, before you go ahead, have you switched "shadow files" off, as suggested in the post above, as this is what is causing the little green flags on your clips. The MTS clips are probably a higher resolution, and PD is constantly having to downgrade the quality to a level it can handle easilly. Turn Shadow files off and the green icon will disappear, but editing the mts files may become more difficult (suck it and see, as they say).

What resolution are the mts files compared to the mp4? Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

Hi Tonze
I think a VIRGIN Update is the solution for lots of Problem with PD 13

Quote: What resolution are the mts files compared to the mp4?

I believe they are 1080p whereas the MP4 are 720P.

No the main source for my videos in the future will preferably be MP4. These come from an endoscope and are actually higher than 1080p from the camera, but somehow got downgraded in the video equipment while saving. In the future I will adjust these settings so that the MP4 will save at higher than 1080p. As the video equipment likely constrains these files to be MP4, I would rather force the camcorder footage to MP4 by video conversion before importing.

Thanks, I will try shutting off the shadow files and see if that solves the problem.

Just out of curiosity, is the main issue here a difference in resolution, or a difference in file formats? If I know this one fact then I can prevent this from happening in the future.

I'm sorry I don't know why this is happening as I am unable to replicate it. Let us know what happens with shadow files off Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

<p>Be careful when using clips higher than 1920x1080, you might find they jump and stutter on the timeline. This is certainly the case with 3840x2160 files. Do all the clips have same frame rate? I think that making all the files MP4 will help, but make sure you produce in MP4</p> Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

Quote: Hi guys, another question for you here.

I've imported a number of videos into a new project and compiled them, edited, spliced, etc as I needed. Now I am running into the issue where it takes a moment to "render" a portion of the video. But it doesn't do this just once and then finish, it must render every time I play the project. I finally figured out what the green line on the timeline means, and I was able to determine that these render issues only happen for the clips that were originally in the MTS format (at higher resolution); the rest of my project was in MP4 format and I have had no issues with those clips. Also, the source footage for the MTS clips in my library have a little green film icon on the lower left hand side of them.

Why must it render every time it plays these clips, is there a way to make PD13 render and be done with it? Should I convert these clips to another format and re-import?

I'm using Windows 7 with onboard Intel graphics (non-dedicated).

Thanks

Try this. Once you have rendered your MTS clips into MP4 clips import the MP4 clips into your project and use them instead of the MTS clips. I am guessing that you are using the Edit function of Power Director when you talk about playing the project and the playback is slowerer with the high resolution MTS clips than with your lower resolution MP4 clips. You haven't actually rendered the video until you run through the Produce phase. If you produce an MP4 clip from an MTS clip you still have to change your project to use the MP4 clip instead of the MTS clip if you want to get the faster playback. Let me know if that helps.
