Help/How To

Hi

I am editing a video on my Macbook Pro M3 with 16GB of memory.

I am expericing playback lag and from research on here I read that one needs to change the preview resolution.

I have even seen a picture of the menu whwre it should be located.

However, my settings menu has no preview option. Has it been moved somewhere else or remove entirely? Or do I need to turn somwthingbrkae off for it to appear. Its not even appearing greyed out.

My settings jumps from Progressive to Deinterlacer. I believe it is located in-between them.

I am running Shotcut version 17.11.07. I am on MacOS Sequoia 15.5 but I am one update behind for the Sequoia updates.

Thanks

Why are you using such an old version? Yours is from 2017!!

Apologies for not replying sooner. Thank you for pointing that out.

I think what must have happened is that I installed it on an old Mac and then migrated everything across to my new Mac. As I had also installed the app on a work laptop, I thought I had also installed it on my own laptop more recently, but clearly not. It’s now not as slow as it was, which is an understatement.
