YOU FIXED MY PROBLEM

-------

Thank you for responding!

I use OBS and normally record 1920x1080 60fps h.264 .mp4

I tried it on the first version and it still persisted.

(i used premiere pro and the problem went away, but i love rush too much)

I have an internal SSD

When I lowered Quality, it got a little smoother

wait synced???

Should I get an external to make it go faster?

-----

WAIT SYNCED????

ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SYNC IT???

6 MONTHS OF THIS AND ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SYNC IT.

ANYONE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM THIS IS THE ISSUE.

Your files are too big for rush to handle, but when synced it uses proxys, significantly smaller files which is so much easier for rush to use.

WOW. HOLY MOLY.

BEFORE SYNCING

AFTER

its not too noticeable but i notice it.

you have saved me. you are my savior. i thank you so much, if i could hug you, i would.

Hi, @defaultysm9et72px63 Thanks for writing in and providing the screen recording.

I have a few questions and some suggestions.

Question:

What type of media are you editing with (what's the source), and what's the resolution?
Is this new behavior, or did the performance issues occur in previous versions?
Where is your media stored? Internal/External SSD or disk?

Things to try:

Launch Rush > Click on Edit > Preferences > Manage Cache > Click on Delete All cache files

Update GPU driver
Render your sequence
- From within a project, go to the Sequence menu and select "Prepare for Playback."
Try to lower the quality of playback.
- Under the monitor, click on the more options menu > Select, Preview Quality > Set Preview Quality to Low or Medium.
If you create a synced project, you can edit using the proxies files. To do this, go to the View menu, select Use Optimized Clips.

If those suggestions do not help performance, please let me know, and we can dive deeper.
