Preview doesn't handle Transitions

Oldjohn

When I enable transitions in the editor they appear in the timeline, can do a frame by frame and they seem OK.

When I enable preview it freezes/gets jerky and generally seem confused as to what to display. Doing a movie build generates a movie with the transitions present. Using 4.0 free version and trrying to decide whether to upgarde or choose a different video editor. Using an older laptop and attempting to avoid an editor that requires massive RAM and multi-core CPU

Hi,

VideoPad use disk cache to make the editing smooth. When you just added a transition the disk cache will have to be regenerated.

It will be jerky If you play the preview while disk cache still being generated. Wait for disk caching (indicated by the line on top of the tracks) finish and the performance will back to normal.

Multi-core is not required but it will speed up disk caching a lot.

Best regards,

Is it possible to force VideoPad use cache on on disk, but in RAM memory? If RAM is over it will be anyway put on swap file by operating system...

On Windows files are cached in memory by the OS. It would be similar to or even more efficient then using memory paging system.
