I've done some upgrading to my PC and when I try to play the Timeline it still won't play smoothly. I checked the Task Manager Performance Tab and as soon as I hit the spacebar to play, the CPU spikes to 100%. Everything else seems to be fine. It only uses about 13 of the 64GB of memory. I have run antivirus checkers and a Windows Optimizer program.
Need info on the footage you are trying to play, the timeline resolution, what kind of drive and whether it's internal or external, any effects or grades in use.

The footage is 4K-60 shot with a GoPro Hero8 Black. Timeline resolution: 3840 x 2160 UHD No effects SSD External Drive: 2TB Samsung T5
CPU: Intel i7-9700K Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-H Gaming Memory: 64GB DDR4 (4x16GB) GPU: PNY NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 (8GB) NVIDIA DRIVER: 27.21.14.6259 OS: Microsoft Window 10 Pro
Upload a sample if you want somebody here to test but the Studio version can use either your GPU or your onboard IGPU to decode HEVC files. A huge difference
Thank you, everyone, for your replies. I changed the Playback Frame Rate to 30 and it plays well. Adding transitions slows it down a lot again! There is so much to learn!!!!

I don't get this logic. While Jim, the 'arrogant pro user', is suggesting a free solution by transcoding, you are recommending buying Studio. Either solution would help, but what's better for a tight budget?
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.
