Newbie Q: my title blocks run veeerrrryyyy slow

[sdean7855]

I create title and credit blocks by Open Other and select color. I take black and then hit Filter, Text Simple and add my text with the desired font
I then drag it into the timeline, title block at the beginning, credit block at the end. In both, it plays frame by frame (noticeable with a fade in as it brightens frame by frame)…then when I get to my video (1080p .MOV sourced) it speeds up to normal.
Since these text blocks are not video, I can’t change the speed.
What, please oh masters of the universe, am I doing wrong. Latest level of Shortcut (20.07.11) running under the wonderful bugginess of W10’s latest levels

Indeed. I was just about to add that this only happens in the preview. I will investigate proxy editing

As @Roger_Leitch said, you should also try Preview Scaling (display scaling)

Preview Scaling

The Preview Scaling setting may be used to reduce the resolution of video processing when you are using a fair amount of filters, transitions, and track blending. This may help with the performance during the editing process. [image] However, keep in mind that the source video or images must typically be scaled down to the designed preview scale, and that will have a processing cost. See Proxy Editing for the remedy to that. Proxy generates substitute clips at the same resolution as preview sc…
