Hi, I'm having problem with the cursor keeps skipping the timeline if the particle and transition are being used in preview process and the sound of music is also affected (seems stalling (not smooth as per the original song)in PD13 live?

This is often due to the fact that your hardware is “struggling” to render the video.

Please post a bit of info about the hardware you are using.

I see the issue on my setup when enabling the "enhanced stabilizer" setting on shaky footage.

You can "fix" the issue if you "Render Preview" the section that is having issues. You will have to wait for it to render - but then it should play smooth. Win8.1 Pro x64 / Dual x5670 / 24GB / GTX960 4GB / 240GB SSD + 640GB HDD / PD13 Ultimate

Hi EKSVid, I had attached the dxdiag files along with my question for further information... would you please let me know what other hardware that I missed out? Thanks

I'm using the PowerDirector13 (Director Suite Live package)

I have to pay better attention (you did attach hardware info) – a good place to add it is in your profile signature – and I see you have done that also

System memory: 8GB – that's perfectly fine.
It looks like you have one hard drive 5400rpm with 3 partitions – correct?
PD likes a bit faster drive.

Did you try and run "Render Preview" as I suggested?
What video format are you editing?
Do you have shadow files enabled?
Also, did you run task manager - to see if you can spot any bottleneck?
