Hi Guys,

I'm at my wits end.

When I'm editing, my original footage plays fine.

As soon as I do any kind of adjustment with color director, the playback will stutter or stall on that particular clip and then jump several clips ahead.

I have to produce/render it to get a normal playback.

My system is Windows 7 64bit, AMD Phenom IIX4, 16 gigs of RAM, Nvidia GT730 with 4Gigs of Video memory.

My monitor is not HD, but I don't think that should affect the playback.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks, Jerry

Have you tried lowering the video resolution setting in PD?

Click the icon to the left of the "speaker" - under the video window.

...and, perhaps, a newer video driver?

If problems arise, roll back to the prior driver via CONTROL PANEL|DEVICE MGR|DISPLAY ADAPTERS|<your adapter name>|DRIVERS tab.

You can also try turning on Shadow Files, and wait for the little yellow icons on all the clips in the media library to turn green.

Depending on the specific FX and edits you're doing, jerky/skipping playback is a known issue because your hardware can't do all that rendering in real time. In addition to pre-producing the most heavily edited sections like you're already doing, you can set the Preview mode to Non real-time if you need smooth playback, but the cost is no audio in that mode.

Hello Bigjer73!

I'm assuming you're using AVCHD file type video clips. This may be somewhat time-consuming in its practice, but perhaps converting your clips to a more easily-managable file type, like MPEG2 might solve some of your problems. the file size difference between the two types(MPEG2 being smaller in megabyte terms) makes the clips easier to handle.

Cheers!
