How to Fix Severe Lag When Editing Videos in Adobe Premiere
When recording a normal screen with oCam, there is usually no major problem, but when recording games, the average bitrate of the video file may be set excessively high. A high bitrate provides high-quality video, but it can cause severe lag when editing the file in editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro. To fix this, you need to lower the bitrate. Below is a detailed explanation of how to reduce the bitrate and improve editing performance.
1. Adjusting the Bitrate When Using a Built-in Codec
If you are using oCam's built-in codec, you can reduce the bitrate by lowering the quality setting. Follow these steps:
1. In the oCam main window, click 'Tools' in the top menu, then select 'Options'.
2. In the Settings window, go to the 'Recording' tab and check the 'General' section.
3. In the 'General' section, find the 'Quality' setting and lower the quality by adjusting the slider. The lower the quality, the lower the bitrate, which reduces the file size and decreases lag during editing.
4. Click the 'OK' button to save the settings, then try recording again.
2. Adjusting the Bitrate When Using an NVIDIA Codec
If you are using an NVIDIA hardware codec, you can adjust the bitrate directly. Follow these steps:
1. In the oCam main window, click the 'Codec' menu and select 'Hardware Encoder Settings'.
2. In the Hardware Encoder Settings window, set 'Rate Control' to '1-PASS CBR' (Constant Bit Rate).
3. Lower the 'Average Bitrate' value to a lower setting (for example, 10 Mbps or less). A lower bitrate reduces file size and improves editing performance.
4. Save the settings, restart oCam, and then start recording.
3. Re-encoding with an External Encoder
If you want to reduce the bitrate after recording in high quality without a major loss in image quality, you can record a high-quality video with oCam and then re-encode it using an external encoder program. For example, you can use PotPlayer or HandBrake. The method is as follows:
1. Record the video in your desired high-quality setting with oCam to create the video file.
2. Run PotPlayer or another encoder program, and load the video file recorded with oCam.
3. In the encoder program, re-encode it with a lower bitrate setting (for example, 5 to 10 Mbps) to create a new file.
4. Import the re-encoded file into Adobe Premiere Pro for editing. This method helps reduce file size and editing load while preserving as much of the original quality as possible.
Using the methods above, you can resolve editing issues caused by a high bitrate when recording games. If you are using a built-in codec, lower the quality setting. If you are using an NVIDIA codec, set CBR and a lower bitrate, or create an optimized file through re-encoding to achieve a smoother editing environment in Adobe Premiere. After changing the settings, make a test recording and check the result.

BIOS and CMOS Error Messages and How to Fix Them
โถ BIOS ROM Checksum error
This error appears when there is a problem with the ROM that stores system information.
It occurs when there is an issue while reading the information stored in CMOS. In this case, enter CMOS SETUP and check whether each setting is configured correctly for the current system state.
After completing the settings, select 'SAVE AND EXIT SETUP' to save the changes.
If the system is old, the ROM itself that stores the BIOS information may be damaged. In that case, it is recommended to have it inspected at a motherboard repair shop or service center.
โถ Press [F1] to continue
This message usually appears when the keyboard or mouse is not connected properly.
Please check whether both devices are connected securely to their connectors.
It is also a good idea to check whether the hard disk information is set correctly in CMOS SETUP.
โถ CMOS memory size mismatch
This error occurs when the system cannot properly recognize the memory (RAM).
When new RAM is added, CMOS usually detects it automatically, but in some cases the correct memory size is reflected only after running CMOS SETUP.
Enter CMOS SETUP, check the settings, and then reboot the system.
โถ NO ROM BASIC
This message appears when an error occurs during booting.
It usually occurs when the system cannot boot from drive A. In this case, you need to insert a bootable floppy disk into drive A or change the boot setting to boot from the hard disk drive.
Similar error messages include 'Diskette Boot Failure' and 'Invalid Boot Diskette'.
โถ CMOS display type mismatch
This error occurs when there is a problem with the graphics-related settings in CMOS.
It happens when the graphics type in the 'Video...' item in CMOS SETUP is not set to EGA/VGA.
Since this is the default setting used by most graphics cards, please make sure to check it.
โถ Cache Memory Bad..
This indicates a problem with the cache memory installed on the motherboard.
Cache memory is used to improve system speed, and on some motherboards, this error may appear if the cache memory fails.
In this case, you can replace the cache memory or try setting the cache memory usage option in CMOS SETUP to 'Disable'.
The same symptom may also appear when cache-related settings such as 'Cache Write' are configured incorrectly, so please check those settings as well.
