My Video playback is jerky and sluggish. Can anything be done to fix it?

To address jerky video playback, try the following:

  • Increase the Video Cache size in Cubase/Nuendo in the Preferences>Event Display>Video
  • Defragment all hard drives on your computer
  • Playback the project and video file from a hard drive that is separate from your Operating System drive.
  • Install the latest video codecs for the video file format you are playing back.
  • Try different Video playback engines (Quicktime vs. Video for Windows vs. Directshow,etc).
  • Increase the amount of RAM (Memory) on your computer to 512 or more.
