Space bar Question

[Jonathan Porter]

Does anyone else experience this? If I scrub the timeline or a clip in the viewer I have to hit the space bar twice before the thing will play back. Is this a normal function of Edius now (using the Edius PRO Broadcast 4.54) as I never noticed it until the new GUI upgrade of 4.54 (have not upgraded to 4.6 yet until I read a few more positive experiences with others)?

It is very frustrating to have to double hit the space bar as I often flick back and forth between scrubbing and playing for timing of edits/cuts ect and this just adds another physical action to the process which is time consuming.

when I scrub a clip with the mouse, then press space once, the clip plays, I am using 4.6 with 0 problems

if I scrub a clip with J K L keys, using L for faster playback, I need to hit space twice in order to pause, this is normal, or I hit K to pause and then space to play

Hmmm... it is now happening infrequently with my system so I wonder if it is something to do with my keyboard. I do notice when I go from the PLR window to the REC window (I am using a single player layout rather than the dual on a single 24" monitor) there is a momentary pause with the hour glass as it loads so maybe that is what is causing the delay?

With the older version, it work fine, but since 4.. if you hit the space bar immediately after you scrub, it won't playback, you have to wait for a second or so then hit the space bar, yeah drive me nuts sometime.

how exactly do you scrub? so I can test the same way

I just grab the playhead on the timeline with the left mouse and drag, let it go hit space bar, and nothing happen, do the same thing but wait a second then hit space bar, play everytime, but really slow down my speed.

that is how I do it and there is absolutely no delay, I tried around 50 times to be sure (playback prefill buffer is set to 5 frames in playback settings)

I am editing in hardware mode using SP card, are you in OHCI only? I have not tried that

[Jonathan Porter]

I had my play back buffer set on 15 frames, have set it to 5 and now it works properly, obviously the buffer filling was what was slowing down the playback. I assume Anton it is normal for a momentary pause before the playback starts?

No I have the NX card, but I think that could be it, I'm BC right now will check that later.
Thanks.

Another lag ?

Has anyone else noticed the slight delay when you open a Clip Properties (Alt+Enter) window? Only with 4.6.

when I scrub a clip with the mouse, then press space once, the clip plays, I am using 4.6 with 0 problems

I can't believe I'm reading this! :)

No delay when I open Clip Properties.
No delay when I hit the space bar
Timeline Scrubbing is like in 4.54

zero problem until this moment (with NX) ...

The Clip Properties window opens quickly enough, but the lag happens between when the window opens and when the information fills the window. (It's just gray for probably less than a second.) Not a big deal, but definitely not there in 4.54.
