Performance Notes

  • If you experience problems with large projects, the fastest solution is to hide the scenes you are not editing.
  • Disabling certain UI features (e.g. Show Connections) can improve responsiveness.
  • For small to medium projects, almost any modern laptop or desktop is sufficient.
  • For large projects, more CPU and RAM headroom is recommended.
