Hi defaultyvthbbq6rvgk,

 

Welcome to the community and sorry for your issue.

Are you using any third-party plug-ins? If so, does it help if you disable them in your project?

Let us know.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

Video Copilot Element 3d 2.2. I tried opening a brand new project with no files, no plugins, and just playing a blank comp the issue still persists.

Open Preferences/Memory and Performance and set the memory allocated to other applications to a whole number multiple of 4 GB. Modern computer systems don't like odd-sized pipelines opened up in their bus system. I have mine set to 4 or 8. Setting it to 3, 5, 6, or 7 results in terrible playback.
