What was it in the end?

Exactly what I did

If I have a large video I am going to edit and add effects it can slow down a bit. I have found the best thing to do is cut it into smaller sections and make each it's own project. Then add all of the effects to each smaller vid and render before mixing together in a new timeline. Adding text and color and stuff makes the GPU work much harder, by rendering smaller vids it becomes part of the vid and becomes easier to process.

I just discovered that you can click the settings button in the lower right corner and change the editing quality. It will still render in the quality you want but during the editing process it lowers the quality and is less taxing on your system.

Mate, what settings in that section lower the editing quality?

I have not done it myself but in my research of the software the guy in the video said it could be done with the settings button in the lower right hand corner. I will see if I can find the video and send you a link.

No worries Chappy, I can have a search for it, I thought it might have been something you'd actually done too. All good

Fortunately I have not had much of an issue yet. I am still doing basic editing and not too much fusion
