Update of sorts.... my contact at Smartsound sent me this: ''Regarding the Studio plugin, yes - it will work with the free version of Sonicfire Pro after the trial of the full version has expired.  All of our plugins will work with both the free and full versions of Sonicfire Pro, but we always need to make sure the plugin code is ...

He's using SFP LITE. You still need the Pinnacle plugin. Now, I am not sure if that plugin will work with SFP Lite or not.  IIRC, when you buy the Pinnacle plugin, you get SFP (which you need) for 21 days. After that, the plugin still works but most of the SFP features are disabled. 

I've tossed out thoughts on this problem too. Especially when I had paid projects that have to be done.  If I exit and restart, things are ok at first and then slowly reach that point where playhead does it's thing. I don't know if it's because the undo/redo buffer (how many undo's can you do?) is causing the slow down, or something that is ...

If you played back the timeline, you would have noticed that no video is in the Preview window, because, as posted above, the video is turned off.

Have you tried changing the Quality and Balance to Fastest and maybe 50? That was the same issue I had with PS21 when I was editing corporate video which was an hour. I could cut, drop transitions, etc. with no problem. Hit Play, and the playhead will jump to a previous position. I'd have to wait a few seconds before being able to hit play from ...

OH! Yes, re-reading that is what he said. Don't know what is going on in my one brain cell any more. But I would be curious to see this myself. A first for sure. But reading the subject line.....  Maybe reset his data base might help. Or delete it and let it rebuild. C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Pinnacle_Studio_22\Studio\22.0 and in ...

I'm ''pretty sure'' it has happened in the past... either here or over there. IIRC, I've had the issue, but then I'll go into a mild rage and let Revo Pro remove all PS from computer and reinstall.

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. But you are the only one to post this issue so far.... This has happened in the past, and honestly, I do not remember  how to resolve it. I would try reinstalling the NBFX though. In your installation folder for PS22, there is a folder 64bit. Go there and click on the folder BonusContent. In that folder ...

So some, deleting ALL rendered files after each project is no big deal. For others, like me, it would be. The software has no way of knowing if you completed a project or not. There were times when I thought I was finished, but due to some last minute requests, I've had to go back and do some re-editing. A (to me at least) fateful Delete All ...

No it doesn't auto clean. You have to do it, just like rendered files. If it did that, every time you would go back to the MCE with a project, you would have to wait for files to be rendered as proxies. So, in the MCE>Smart Proxy Manager, you can choose what files you want to delete. Just like you can click on that Delete rendered files.... ...
