Editing playback seems choppy in version 636 of Vegas Pro 19.

I'm not getting as smooth of playback when editing. It seems Vegas is throwing out frames and making the playback appear choppy. It doesn't seem to matter which playback option I select (e.g., draft, preview, good etc.). I'm editing a chess match and often the pieces just jump to the new location without seeing the hand move them. It's like those frames are missing in playback. I'm only editing 1080 files, so it should not be choking my CPU. I can move back in the timeline and play through the video again it will show me the hand making the chess move, so its happening in the first run through the raw video.

Note: this is new to update 636 of Vegas, 550 played back smoothly editing these types of files.

Is there some setting I need to make to stop the frames from dropping while editing?

No there's no setting. I haven't seen any change from 550 myself (for good or ill).

What is the CPU?

What is the media specifically? It matters and highly compressed or high framerate 1080p can choke a CPU. https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-how-to-post-mediainfo-and-vegas-pro-file-properties--104561/

The choppy playback was the result of setting the File I/O decoder to "None" to try to fix the rendering issues. CPU is a I7-7000. Smoother when I set it back to the GPU.

BTW - I still had freezes rendering with the File I/O set to "none". So that's not the answer to the issues.

That's to be expected. You would want to reenable disabled settings to be able to edit.

See if you can narrow down when the render freezes vs works and if media type matters.

I'm done with update 636. Magix can either figure the rendering issues out or I won't be purchasing their next version release (August?).

@Hamilton53
Give the Vegas development team a chance to figure it out by posting your media info as @RogerS suggested.
Otherwise the developers will groping in the dark.
