Video Editing - video and audio stuttering

[mrjcjones]

When I used Roxio 8 I had bad stuttering effects both on audio and video during editing. This is still a problem with Roxio 9.

 

Is there any advice on how to make the video editing run more smoothly?

I have the same basic system and the only problem I've ever had with 8 is using Videowave with mpeg files. Cutting and editing was painful. It's much better in 9. Like night and day. Not as fast as VideoReDo but fast enough to make you wonder what the heck was the problem in Videowave 8.

I'm having the same problem with editing of large files (45min video). I notice that if I simpy open up the production in VideoWave 9, my hard drive light comes on and flickers continuously. I have a suspicion the drive is loading the file in the background. I'm not sure why else it would work the hard drive so much without me doing anything in the application except starting it and opening the project.

I'm glad you have had a positive experience with 9, unfortunately for me 9 is no better than 8

Shut down Media Manager folder watching. That will eat resources. Also look at Windows>Tasks Manager>Processes; the Proxy files may be rebuilding. This also slows down opening the project for editing.

 

Working on a 45 minute project will be slow; you didn't post your computer specs so I can't speculate about that. Many people work with 20 minute (or so) video clips and then combine them later.
