Guys,

I could really use your help. I am extremely frustrated at this point and I simply dont know what to do. As stated on my most recent post on one of the 'PD Effects causing Lag, skip and Freezing' thread, I recently bought a brand new system Dell Inspiron 7567 Gaming Laptop. It has 16GB Ram, 512 SSD with Nvidia GEForce GTX 1050Ti Video Card. I have attached a copy of my DxDiag just in case this might help figure out my problem.

Initially, I was attempting to edit 4k Videos. Once they are placed on the timeline, the preview mode is somewhat dissapointing. The videos lag constantly and the moment I introduce Tools (Speed, Reverse) or even Fix/ Enhance (color adjustement), the preview page is rendered completely useless. There is no way to view the Speed preview. I kinda have to play a guessing game and the only way to tell whether the tools have been applied effectively is to render the video first......A major PITA.

Since I figured 4k Video wouldnt work, I attempted uploading and editing with 1080x720 resolution files. The preview playback this time is ok, however, effects, tools, speed etc would completely render the preview useless again.

As a last resort, I even tried going the proxy route with 'Rocky Mountain Converter' (1920x1080 Res with 25 Quality). Also tried 'Magic +PD' but again, tools and effects completely cripple my preview.

I purchased this system in conjuction with PD 15 hoping that the SSD Drive together with 16GB Ram and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 graphics would make 4k Editing a breeze, however, I am also finding that editing 720x1080 files is impossible.

PS: I have tried PD shadow files, lowering Preview Quality to High/ Normal resolution already. Still no difference

I will greatly appreciate any feedback, comment and/or suggestion as to how to make this work. Otherwise, I am just about to give up on PD and and try a different Software.

sorry i dont have any advice, but i am also looking at upgrading to a better laptop with nivida, i would think the same as you as to it should work great! from what i have seen isnt adding shadow files the same as converting to proxy? although i have a slow laptop right now im able to do 1080 without to much issues.

Thanks for the response. Glad to know that you are able to edit 1080 files. How does the preview respond to effects/ enhance?

happy rooster new year.

sorry about you having problems.

my settings for RMMC is 8 or 10 fast. that is why PD can't handle real high bitrates.

looking at your dxdiag.txt your laptops cpu is getting overheated...

PD's GPGPU is for final rendering.

so either attach a sample file and or attach a pds file that you're working on and let rest of us troubleshoot it

and or open a support ticket to Cyberlink.

p.s.

i'll be getting a dell like yours but have to wait till my income tax return...

happy happy joy joy

PepsiMan,

i am anxiously waiting for you to purchase this particular laptop. This way, we can work out the issues together.

PD not functioning on such a powerfully configured system is a total shame.

Trust me, this is very disappointing...... I am still searching for a solution and hopefully a member here with exact same system configuration as mine would be able to chime in and help out. Keeping my fingers crossed.....

i wouldn't hold my breath until you turn blue first.

it looks a lot like similar to this -> http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/45/46836.page

my PD14 has HA with v365.10.

only nVidia driver v378.49 works for your GTX 1050Ti.

open a support ticket with CL.

if CL & nVidia was married then they haven't slept in a same bed since you know when...

whenever i purchase that dell, i AM in the same boat as you!

no, maybe not. don't have PD15.

oh happy happy joy joy

Good afternoon!

I need to know the following:

I tried to upload a video to my youtube account from cyberlink powerdirector 15 directely( by the way is a demo),

but before to do it a message says that I have to allow to this company to manage my google or youtube account.

Well, the point is that I am not sure if this excellent company is going to do what it wants with my video without my concern. Because of that I didn't allow it but I am curious because if it is different and on the contrary it will help me to to distribute my videos and so on, then it would be fine.

May anybody give me this answer, please?

Thank you!

I keep saying that laptops are a bad choice for editing videos, but people keep wanting to waste money on them. The interaction between nVidia and Intel video cards (on a gaming laptop) are complicated and they don't behave nice in PD. My working laptop has a Quadro video card that doesn't have the same issues, but however, the CPU is underpowered when compared to my desktop.

A desktop workstation is a better option. And cheaper.

Sonic,

Thanks so much for your response. At this point, I am seriously considering all options. I could still return the Laptop and swap for a Tower desktop. Quick question for you, what is the very BEST tower you would recommend? I am not good at building and/or upgrading computers. I am simply looking for a system that is 100% ready to go. If you could provide a link as well, that would be awesome too.

Thanks
