Hi,
Would someone be able to suggest a way of reducing the lag when editing? Admittedly I’m using a lot of 4K footage ( MXF. GoPro 11 and DJI Mavic 3 Pro), although I've converted all the video files to proxies in Vegas.
Even so, it’s still very, very slow and laggy. The .mxf files audio and video in the trimmer are very stuttery, and when I highlight a section in the trimmer using the mouse to pick up and drop onto the timeline, it doesn’t take, and then I have to keep highlighting the video clip several times till it does. -See YT clip -
It plays okay-ish on the timeline, although again there is a lag when I press play.
I’ve attached two screenshots of my properties and my File I/O options and this link below to a clip.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Cheers
Phil
