    Hardware Specifics Check - (Preview Window Choppy)

    xmikal65x Community Member

      So I upgraded from CS6 to CC and what use to play smoothly in the preview window is now playing choppy. What I have discovered is that if I loop the troubled spot 1-6 times, it plays smoothly and will so long as the project is open. After the project is closed and reopened, it resets and all the footage starts smooth for 1-3 seconds, and then bogs down. This is with the preview monitor's resolution set to the lowest. I really hope it's not my hardware, but if someone would care to verify my specs, that would be great.

       

      OS: Windows 8.1

      Graphics: XFX DD Radeon R7970 3GB DDR5, 384 bit BUS, GPU Clock 925MHz Memory 1375MHz

      CPU: Intel i7-3820 CPU @3.6GHz (8 CPUs)

      Memory: 64 GB DDR3

      Disk: 7200 rpm connected through Sata and USB 3.0

       

      The problem is not limited to HD formats, I can't even preview standard definition formats without choppy playback 2-3 seconds in.

       

      I've also adjusted the render paramater between PERFORMANCE and MEMORY, both equally seem to deliver the same results.

       

      It's a bummer because I was able to edit RED footage without a problem, now it's just ridiculous.
