Filmora is a video editing software that’s known for being simple and easy to use, making it perfect for beginners and casual users. It has a clean, intuitive interface with drag-and-drop features, allowing you to edit videos quickly without needing much experience. You can add transitions, effects, music, and text to create professional-looking videos in no time.

Filmora is popular because it offers a balance between simplicity and powerful tools.

• Render your preview.
• Upgrade your RAM.

Here are some additional details on each of these tips:

Hardware acceleration can help to improve the performance of your video playback by offloading some of the processing work to your graphics card. To enable hardware acceleration, go to File > Preferences > Performance and make sure that both Enable Hardware Acceleration for Video Rendering and Playback and Enable Hardware Acceleration for Video Decoding are turned on.

You should also select your dedicated graphics card in the Graphics Card dropdown menu.

The latest version of Filmora may include performance improvements that can help to fix slow and stuttery video playback. To check for updates, go to Help > Check for Updates.

Reduce the quality of your video playback

If your video is still playing slowly or stutteringly after enabling hardware acceleration and using the latest version of Filmora, you can try reducing the quality of your video playback. To do this, go to the Player section of your Filmora timeline and select a lower quality option from the dropdown menu.

Render your preview

Rendering your preview can help to improve the performance of your video playback by creating a smoother version of your video. To render your preview, click on the Render Preview button below your video timeline.
