sohhh Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I'm trying to do some effects work with key frames and the full video keeps rendering now, not the fast updates that used to be in place. It is slow slow it is effectively impossible to use! Previously I would see the rough preview with effects, then when done, the full render would happen (slowly). Now I do the changes in the effects window and the full render happens with every small change making editing virtually impossible as it is so slow. What am I doing wrong!

borate Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Have you tried deleting unused cache files, under OPTIONS|DISK tab? How about Windows temp files? How much space remains on the hard disk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohhh Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 I just cleared the disk cache and also verified I had disk space. Each little change creates a full 'rebuild' of the video file rather than a 'live' preview like the prior version. Is there a way to have the effects preview pane back?

Nationalsolo Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Hi If you are adding an effect to the video as a unit and not just a shorter clip it will take some time to render and it would affect the whole timeline. Shortish clips (30 seconds or less) generally render as you make the changes to the keyframes and can usually be played through quite quickly. If the effect you have planned is acting only on a small length of video, just split it off and add the effect to that section. It can be useful to place the processer % usage graph from the task manager on the screen as you can see at a glance whether your PC is working overtime. When it drops back to 1-2% you know rendering is complete even when the green bar is not visible. Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohhh Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Nat -- I get that shorter clips have the faster render, but with the prior preview window, there was zero lag. Now there is massive lag. (I did the upgrade today) I have a laptop that had no issue previous to the upgrade which is why I thought some settings issue was the reason for the very poor performance.
