I use video captures (usually mp4's) in most of my projects as I am a sound designer for video games. I just updated and the newer version is causing some sluggish behaviour that I haven't had before, so I presume it's related to the update.
The current issue I'm seeing is loop playback is causing the video to stick on a frame for a while (a second ish) when it loops back to the start. This is with a short loop (I'm working on a short sound which is why I noticed it) and I'm not seeing it for the first loop.
It feels like it's caching the first sec or so when playback is stopped (or something like that), but when looping it doesn't have the start cached so it pauses while it grabs what it needs. That's what it feels like at least.
I get the same sluggishness when jumping around in a video during playback.
I've only just updated, so will update this post as I get more info, but I figured I should post this now in case it's a legit/serious problem.
right-click in the video window for cache settings.
Ah, thanks! Just tried maxing out all the settings, the only one that helped was bumping up the video cache to 2 seconds, the rest of them didn't change anything. I'm curious to see if I get issues with longer loops.
Same exact use case and problem here; Try setting Video window rclick -> Performance tweaks -> Video cache -> All media and video FX are not cached. That fixed the glitchiness on short loops for me. I also set the cache time to 0.1s FWIW.
