Thank you, you have just saved me from a mental breakdown

Your videos have been extremely helpful! I was searching for solutions to this and getting SO MUCH FLUFF! Thank you for your straight forward, and most importantly accurate, videos!!

the playback is fine, the lag for me is the timeline itself. whenever i want to pause, cut or zoom out, it is horribly slow. any ideas? i;ve tried everything in this video and it still doesn't work.

Man, I was about to break my laptop in half today and it's a pretty powerful one actually. I didn't know what's going on but it turns out that I was watching in Full playback resolution and specially when I was adding more presets, it was lagging so bad, almost impossible to watch. After changing the settings you recommended and the Playback resolution to 1/4, it runs like a dream and I'm able to properly edit the video. I'm happy I found your channel. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for this helpful tip! I never new there was a tab called Render In and OUT existed. I always overlooked it and didn't know it was there! I hope this works!

I knew my pc could handle the all the software, but the video was still choppy. This fixed it for me! Thank you much!

[Andychangftw]

Holy Jesus it worked!!!! Thank you so much again brother, your tutorials have been a God send for me. I just thought my MacBook sucked and the files were too big, but just turns out the two png’s just needed to be rendered. Many thanks!!!!

Hey man, thanks for the video! Rendering the clips really helped out

The third step here did the trick for me. It seems 8 GB ram on probook is just not enough space. Thanks so much for the concise tutorial!!

DUDE Thank you for just getting to the point and helping me fix something without having to listen to 8 minutes of intro nonsense!

Great advice! Rendering worked like a charm.

Lowering the ram reserved for other programs worked for me. Thanks!
