-Hello,

In Vegas Pro 23-302, importing video footage from a GoPro 11 5K60 into Vegas Pro 23-302 works very well, playback is smooth. After recording, playback is still smooth.

When I start automatically crossfading events, playback is choppy. The jerkiness is unstable and random. There are only crossfades and pan/zoom in this project. I restart Vegas, it's the same. In Vegas Pro 23-278, it's the same. CTRL+SHIFT, no change. Legacy AVC decoding - HEVC and Nvidia or Intel GPUs, same. Deleting the audio track, same.

Project address: C:\Jean\magix19\media\plongee102025v3v23302.veg.

In Vegas Pro 22-250, the same imported images, automatically crossfade and pan/zoom, playback is smooth. Therefore, I returned to Vegas Pro 22-250.
Looking forward to your response. Best regards
Fontaine Jean

When you say images do you mean still pictures or the GoPro videos you also mentioned?

Are the video events overlapping themselves (1 video cut up and crossfaded with itself) or are multiple media files crossfaded? A few have reported worse performance when videos crossfade with themselves.
