while playing back the timeline during edit, the audio stutters at first, though after i play back a pariticular section repeatedly it seems to fill in. is there a setting somewhere which will allow the audio to filll in better during editing? this has no effect on rendering. thanks.
Sounds like you have either a fragmented drive, non-DMA enabled, resource conflict, or low RAM. Any one of these things could cause the problem. This will not affect rendering.
