1. preferences : enable HD video processing (shadow file) ?


2. preferences : enable NVIDIA CUDA technology..

Depending on your hard drive, you may not need shadow files. That features creates lower resolution files from HD video so editing is quicker. I have a similiar notebook with 7700HQ/GTX1060 with M.2 SSD boot drive and don't need shadow files. If your boot drive is 5400rpm, you might need shadow files. Depends on your patience.

Do you have the latest nVidia mobile driver? I have GTX1060 on my desktop and notebook. My option says 'Enable OpenCL'. Either way, that allows PD15 to use the GPU for certain FX or Transitions. Intel i7 4770k, 16GB, GTX1060 3GB, Two 240GB SSD, 4TB HD, Sony HDR-TD20V 3D camcorder, Sony SLT-A65VK for still images, Windows 10 Pro, 64bit

From the main screen, click on the little icon that looks like a gear beside the aspect ratio. That is Perferences. Click on Hardware Acceleration and on the right you should see: Enable OpenCL and Enable Hardware Decoding. From what I understand, these settings only affect editing like transitions and FX. There is also a setting in Produce when you get ready to render a file.

Does your notebook have nVidia optimus or MSHybrid technology? If you saw 'Enable Cuda', it probably doesn't but could check. This is where the notebook boots with the Intel iGPU. Then it is up to the software to recognize the GTX1060. Intel i7 4770k, 16GB, GTX1060 3GB, Two 240GB SSD, 4TB HD, Sony HDR-TD20V 3D camcorder, Sony SLT-A65VK for still images, Windows 10 Pro, 64bit

I apologize, i don't really understand your question, i just bought last fryday this laptop esspecially for PD15. But it seems this laptop is not fast enough.. it's more like a game laptop , but i never play games..

I did : Enable Hardware & Enable Cuda (i don't have option OpenCL) and i really don't understand what CUDA is.. i think it's something to accelarate GPU for effects just like OpenCL (from the youtube vid's i've watched)

My NVIDIA type: is Geforce Experience

My project starts to really slow down at 1minute30 sec. it hangs, stops, however at that time there is only one track playing..?

Should i bring this laptop back and go for a faster one (more expencive )

thank you for your help! really appreciate it!

kind regards

That notebook should work fine. Are you editing 1080 video or 4K? Are you adding special effects or transitions? These are a few things that can cause PREVIEW of editing to not be perfect. However, the slow down does not affect the final output. I have owned many video editors and none of them had perfect preview when doing some serious editing.

PD15 has some issues editing footage from certain drones. There could be tons of reasons that are file or software related. Intel i7 4770k, 16GB, GTX1060 3GB, Two 240GB SSD, 4TB HD, Sony HDR-TD20V 3D camcorder, Sony SLT-A65VK for still images, Windows 10 Pro, 64bit

thank you for reply!

I edit video's from my iphone 6, i make a mix of the parts of our vacation..

I sometimes change speed, i do PiP (with motion change, effects change).

There are transitions, effects, particles.

I learnt from this forum and technical support that in preview mode i have to choose not the highest kwality (i choose middle),

i manualy delete temp files in the preferences window. i close all other applications.



question : if i would change my laptop for a faster one : 7700HQ instead of 6700HQ, will that make difference in edit..?

Thanks!

sorry to barge in...

answer is no. you've already got a killer.

i got a slow 3rd generation intel cpu laptop, dell xps l702x!

have you tried with no Hardware Acceleration? just use straight CPU only?



happy happy joy joy
