I'm having a problem with my new laptop that everytime I create a video I get a red line on the timeline. I then have to render the selection before I export it to media encoder. This takes enormous amounts of time. Then, when I create a video with my desktop I never get the redline. I now figured that it is because the GPU is not accelerated and there is no option to do so. I also tried the cudo card method where you put the name of the graphicscard in the file in your adobe directory, but there is no such a file... Any ideas?

You do, of course, need to provide hardware DETAILS for someone to help

Oh, I'm sorry.
The Graphicscard is a Geforce GTX 960m.
Thank you!

You don't have to render before you export. In fact, most often doing so is a waste of time. You won't get any benefit from doing it. You only need to render if you can't play back in real time while editing.
Not all hardware is capable of acceleration. What GPU are you using?

But if I don't render the exported video is broken. Or I can't even export it. A Gefore GTX960M.

Please post a screen shot of your export settings, sequence settings, and media properties.

Try unchecking "composite in linear color."

No, unfortunately that doesn't do anything. The line still goes red as soon as I put an effect on...

Yes, but can you export?

Omg, yes, I can. that is amazing, thank you so much.
Do you now have an idea to remove the red without having to render it all?

Do you need to render?
Are you having issues editing?

It would be helpful. It's really hard to watch otherwise because it gets stuck all the time...

It could be that your hard drive is running at 5400 rpm instead of the required 7200 rpm. Check the specs of your computer. A slower drive would definitely slow down your playback.

That's not normal. I'd say something is wrong with your system.

Yes, it's very weird. As soon as I put an effect or color grade something the line turns red and when I export it everything that is red will be broken.

Another thing to try is to upgrade your video driver directly from the manufacturer (NVidia). Sometimes a downgrade may help as well. Don't upgrade video drivers through Windows upgrade.
