Playback Unresponsive V22 250

Is anyone getting a ton of unresponsive actions from the software while trying to rewatch video clips? (Screen goes hazy white) The video is roughly 45 minutes long. There has always been issues with this software but 250 seems to have this problem a lot. While editing one clip at a time there isn't much of a problem, but when you are going over the video to add music and voice overs it goes unresponsive way to offten. Sometimes open up another application will unfreeze it, like open up a web browser, other times you can wait it out, but at least 70% of the time you have to force quit and restart.

i am going to try and move my preview screen to draft auto to see if that helps.

This seems to have helped.

Other symptoms. Usually before this happens, the playback and scrolling get laggy. Sometimes it recovers, then other times it does the above. After moving to draft, it still does that, but not as bad. (Important to note, it isn't the clips as it won't do it consistantly for the same clip and will 100% be different between application restarts). But after switching to draft, it seems have helped. When the lag starts, its less, and so far for the last 30 minutes of working on it, it hasn't locked up once.

FYI - system resources were never even close to max when this issue happens.

@joshua-noesser I had no issues with a few VP22 build versions back half a year or so, but I just experianced the same issue with VP22 b250: a few clips on timeline, no editing done yet on them, just playing them and I see the memory go up to 5 GB (out of my 64GB) until the end of last clip, memory leak?

Anyway, I had several no responding hangs, even after restarting. This should not happen, not if you haven't even started with the real editing (cutting/ pan crop, zoom, plug ins, audio and video enhancement, text etc...)
