# Other optimizations

## Display Resolution

The resolution of your monitor is also particularly relevant to performance. With a 4K monitor, four times as many pixels need to be calculated compared to a standard Full HD monitor. In critical cases, you can reduce the resolution for fullscreen mode.

## **Video Sources & Video Rendering** 

When playing videos on the timeline, ensure not to use videos with unnecessarily large resolutions. Usually, a resolution of 720p in H.264 format is sufficient. For the final video rendering, ensure that the output frame rate matches the frame rate of your video files on the timeline. Otherwise, rendering times can become significantly longer!

## **Application Settings** 

In the application settings, you can make engine-specific adjustments that can significantly affect quality and performance. The following settings should only be changed in special cases and with few light sources:

* Spotlight Shadow Resolution - Default 256p
* Omnilight Shadow Resolution - Default 256p

#### MultiSample AA 

In very performance-critical cases, this setting can disable edge smoothing.

## **V-RAM Utilization** 

Check with the Task Manager to ensure that the dedicated video memory of your graphics card is not overloaded. This can lead to extreme performance drops.
