Video-Guy Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Has anyone installed an SSD & set the VideoPadCache folder to be on the SSD? Interested to know if that speeds up Video Pad in loading a new design. Always takes nearly 1+ hours on my Win10 Pro machine - fast processor & 16 Gb ram - so looking for more optimization in using an SSD Thx - Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Never saw caching time take that long even on complex, multi-track and effect projects when using a conventional drive. The program now runs and caches on a 1TB SSD, which did improve loading speeds. Share a project that loads slowly and others may test it for comparison. Just follow these steps closely... Back up --- With your project on the timeline, click on MENU at the top-left. Click FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER. Choose a folder and SELECT FOLDER. Upload --- Use a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* - to upload the saved, numbered FOLDER. Do NOT upload the individual VPJ or export file. Get link --- Get a public link. If using Google Drive click GET SHAREABLE LINK. If necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with the link can view" Share --- Click COPY LINK | DONE. Paste that link here, or click the folder at the top-right of this forum to message it privately to me. It won't be shared. * Before uploading, right-click the folder, click PROPERTIES. Look at the File Size to confirm that it's not too big for the free space on the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberprutser Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I actually installed a pci-e card with a nvme ssd drive to speed up cache file generating. It helps a bit, but generating a new cache file for every little change is certainly a design flaw i.m.h.o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
