Hi guys,
I've been using Reaper for years with live video on stage from within the timeline.
Now I started a new project and I've found out that this video takes more CPU than expected.
I'm not sure if it's due to my new laptop (new drivers, new windows new vlc), or due to the video format (mp4 720p).
Suddenly my CPU shoots up an extra 10% only with the video.
Any of you got any ideas what gives the lowest CPU or how to solve my prob?
I've had better luck with mpg than mp4. It gives you smaller video files that play back better, with no quality loss that I can detect. Tou might try rendering as mpg and see if it helps.
There's a major CPU problem with 5.7 I downgraded to 5.61 (because that version apparently does not have the video leak fix).
And all works as before.
I got long lasting CPU spikes up to 25% and resulted in glitches.
I couldn't find a problem in my setup or file dough, even with all tracks muted the problem was there.
I have 1 mp3 audio track, 2 synths and 1 video track,...
