VPX13 freezes, when I try to open a project created in VPX12

Hi.

Are your program settings in Device options are all set to nvidia for import processing and export?

Thanks Ray, after I changed the import processing to CPU, the application doesn't freez, but loading time is still very slow.

Hi.

In your previous post you gave media data from one of your video clips that shows the files are H265 (HEVC) and showing a wildly variable frame rate that could be responsible for most if not all of your problems. If possible you should be working with files that have a constant frame rate which is much easier for a video editing program to work with and needs much less processing power. While such files use up less disc space they demand a lot more calculation in use for loading, playback and processing. You may be able to reduce loading times by selecting modes of viewing that require less processing such as selecting the option within the program to only show the first and last frames of a clip in the timeline but don't expect much improvement.

Hi Gabriel

Your computer meets the required specidications for handling HEVC video, however are the drivers for the UHD750 and the GTX 1660 up to date?

Assuming you are not gaming on this computer, do you see the Intel UHD 750 GPU in the options for Import, Processing, Export settings ?

If not, it may be disabled or need a monitor connecting to it:-

Check in the computer BIOS that it is enabled - how you do this depends on the BIOS version.
If you have one monitor and it has a spare input try connecting this to the onboard video output - this should activate the UHD 750
If 2 monitors, try plugging one in to the onboard video output (this is how I work on my PC).

Once the UHD 750 is active, try setting the three device options back to the GTX1660 to see if this improves the import.

Hi,

In the device settings (import, process, export) I see only CPU, and the Getforce 1660.

To avoid program freezing, when I open a VPX12 project, I had to set import to CPU.

It seems, that the GPU is disabled, I'll inspect the BIOS"s settings.

Thanks John.

Hi.

If you only have one monitor and no additional inputs as John suggests the only way to activate it would be to buy a headless ghost of the appropriate type (HDMI should do it) to plug into the motherboards GPU socket. That should activate the GPU for use with a video editing program. They are relatively cheap to buy and easy to install.

@CubeAce

Hi,

I have two monitors so I revise the BIOS"s settings first.

Thank You.

Hi.

Just plugging one monitor into the output for the Intel GPU at the back of the computer should be enough unless you use both screens for gaming and need the possible higher refresh rates.

There should be no reason to have to go into the EUFI bios where you would still have to either be using a monitor in the Intel output socket or a headless ghost. The GPU must think it is powering something.
