I don't really want to call this a bug or glitch, which is why I didn't click the “beta bug?” button below the project, but something I've noticed is that whenever I load a project on the site for the first time and play through it, the graphic effects seem to lag, but only for the first time they're introduced. For example a ghosting effect would freeze up the project for a split second and then resume, as well as all other graphic effects until they're all sort of “loaded”. It seems to me that that beta player keeps an active memory of graphic effects as they're used, and if an effect that it “remembers” is triggered, it plays the effect back the way it was used the first time, to increase performance (decrease lag).

So something I propose is that instead of the player loading the effects into memory for smoother playback, why not scan projects for any graphic effects before loading the player? Perhaps it could have a preset library of all possible graphic effects loaded into memory before playing a project? I don't know much about how the beta player works and I'm merely going based off of what I see, but to me it seems like that would eliminate any lag at all in a project.

Particularly, this is the project I've noticed the phenomena of loading effects until the project doesn't lag. It is a great candidate for testing graphic effects as it has many of them, and is relatively simple to interact with.

Report it as a bug, simple. Why didn't you report it?

Yes I read it. Now what? You still really should have reported it anyway.

Even something minor could help fix other bugs with the player.
