You did not enable proxy for some reason?

Perhaps combining the proxy feature with preview scaling will improve preview performance.
Either way, W10 sometimes has background processes (updates and other services) that can have an influence.

Proxy Editing

Introduction Proxy editing is the process of creating and using low resolution videos and images in places of the original or optimized (Convert to Edit-friendly) files. This provides the advantage that your computer has less work to do in realtime while editing: decoding, scaling, and effects. This is, quite simply, because there are less pixels to compute. Then, when you are ready to export, it will use the original (or optimized) files for full quality. Performance is optimal when the pre…

1. Restart Shotcut
2. If that does not help reboot
3. If that does not help report back by including View > Application Log

Thanks, but they didnt work, here is the application logs - lag.txt (35.3 KB)

EDIT: Thanks for responding SO quickly, i so love this editor

[shotcut]

Try turning on Settings > Realtime

[Robot831]

I did, it does no effect sadly - if i turn it on or off

EDIT: I can rec another video showing the situation, or get the logs again thxs btw

[shotcut]

You can try restarting Shotcut after changing that. Also, you can try changing Settings > Display Method. If neither of these help, then I do not know what is wrong, and more logs or a screen recording will not help.

[Robot831]

Ok, Thanks btw i will try those

EDIT: Could it possibly be a PC problem?? All the different display methods don’t work sadly, lol

EDIT 2: Also when i watch the whole thing it doesn’t lag, but if i skip forward it lags… Is this a PC problem lol, i am very noob.

EDIT 3: Yes, i lowered the fps and quality of the video, and it worked. I am going to open my PC later in the future and see what the problem is. Thanks so much, and being super kind to me :>

EDIT 4: I just put it back to HD and 60 fps and it still works amazinly, i am super confused lol. Thanks tho :>

EDIT 5: ok ill stop after this, but if its lagging anyone just change your video mode to like anything, and it literally works like magic.
