My timeline preview renders stops before completing the render

[Iddo1234]

Hi,

For some time my PP (latest version on fully updated Win 10 with Nvidia Studio latest version driver) has not been able to complete render previews - it starts, does some rendering and just stops and when done again does a little more (or sometimes nothing more).

This is very annoying. I tried to render the entire work area or just in-out - same thing.

My settings for previews are the common ones (below) - any suggestions? (I have seen some other users with this issue but no solution...).

Might want to lower the framesize.

Do you mean the preview resolution?

I am at 1/4 on the playback monitor.

My PC is very powerful 13900K with 4700.

[Iddo1234]

Interesting. I changed it to 1080p and it does seem to help (not sure if it's 100% but it's much better).

Why do you think this happens? is this a bug or is something else going on here?

[Ann Bens]

Its not a bug, your system cannot handle the large preview.

[Iddo1234]

It used to be able before - Adobe did something in recent versions to change this.

Besides that - if a 13900K with 96GB of RAM can't handle a 4K preview what system can?

Do you have enough free hard drive space?

[Iddo1234]

Is 2TB+ of free WD 850x SSD enough 🙂
Oh, and there is another 850X with 700GB+ of free space just for the cache.

Why is your playback at 1/4. If it is a powerfull system you should be able to playback in full.

Max resolution for preview is UDH is not common, usually you set it lower.

[Iddo1234]

Yes, I believe I can play at 1/2 or even 1 but in many cases, I don't see a difference (even on a 32" 4K screen) since the preview screen is a fairly small part of the entire monitor.

I don't remember changing the preview to UHD it was basically the default and in recent PP versions something just stopped working...
