"Updating Stills" is a momentum killer. Change to background?

That is high. Its definitely worth getting to the bottom of this.

The stills are saved to a location defined by your project:

Certainly worth testing on your end to see if the storage is a factor there.

This could be part of it.

Two things to note here. One optimization we made recently is that when its just the color or a LUT that is updated, we don’t actually read the frame from the source file again.

But if you change any of the following, then we have to open the file and get the frame again:

  • Decoding / debayering settings
  • Framing

And if your playback is set to decode a higher quality image, than the decode will take longer…

We also recently made some changes to better optimize the behavior when you are coloring and syncing the same job simultaneously:

Hopefully this information will help you further troubleshoot what the specific factors are causing the slowness on your system.

The message box only comes up when the operation takes longer than 1 second, and the goal is to have it be fast enough that you rarely see it.
