But as all great things have drawbacks, one drawback of this great software is that it requires high-end computing power to make it work. This isn\u2019t unusual because all other computing software programs of this caliber have this requisite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After some research, we\u2019ve been able to come up with a turnaround to this problem. Read below to know how you can avoid the <\/span><b>HitFilm Express<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> running slow issue by doing a little tinkering with your system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Recommended: Perform Extensive System Cleaning<\/h2>\n<p>This is a huge deterrent in ensuring software programs of all hues and even your computer performs at its very best for a long time. Get a decent system cleaner software program and it will take care of the rest.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stcleaner.com\/download\/ibx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Use ST Cleaner to perform System Cleaning<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ST Cleaner\u00a0is a digitally signed, verified software<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Problem 1: Lags During Video Performance<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the times <\/span><b>HitFilm Express<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will lag when a new video format is used for rendering. This happens because every video codec has its own advantages and disadvantages. If a person runs a video codec with the format <\/span><b>AVC \/ H-264<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in <\/span><b>1920<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> x <\/span><b>1080 25 fps<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, there is a likelihood it will take more time to load. This happens because the video codec is heavy. If this occurs, another video editing software or video conversion software should be used for converting the video.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Problem 2: HitFilm Express Becomes Slow While Exporting Video<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This problem usually occurs when the <\/span><b>GPU<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has worn out and is slow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On <\/span><b>HitFilm Express<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> forum, a <\/span><b>HitFilm<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> representative <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hitfilm.com\/forum\/discussion\/43259\/hitfilm-4-express-got-suddlenly-extremely-slow-to-operate-and-render\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">said<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that the most important component of a <\/span><b>PC<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the most important component of the <\/span><b>GPU<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Therefore,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a better approach for people who are using a slow <\/span><b>GPU<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is to switch the resolution to <\/span><b>Half<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><b>Quarter<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Also, the user can also try proxying composite shots to reduce the performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Problem 3: Running Slow When Users Tries to Edit \/ Out of Sync Audio<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The solution to this problem has been provided by <\/span><b>HitFilm Express<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kmBmkIrekBk\"><b>YouTube<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> video.

When they try to edit this video in \u00a0<\/span><b>HitFilm<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it gives an error. This problem can be sorted by transcoding the footage into an edit-friendly codec before exporting it to <\/span><b>HitFilm<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> software.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main reason <\/span><b>H.264<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> codec gets stuck while the video is loading because it is a delivery codec &#8211; used for playback and not for editing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Problem 5: HitFilm Express becomes Unresponsive Very Often<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This supposedly is a problem with <\/span><b>Graphics Drivers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
