AliceWL Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I'm new to Paint.net (which I love using so far), but Paint is interfering with videos I'm playing. I like to listen YouTube videos while I'm coloring or drawing images, but every time I moved the mouse - to color or use the line/curve tool - the video sound in the background video glitches or pauses... That truly is very aggravating / stressing.. I was wondering if any one else is familiar with this problem or how o fix it? :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Hi @AliceWL and welcome to the forum I've never had that trouble myself. Hopefully someone else on here will have some suggestions 😁 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

LoudSilence Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Do you have many plugins? I had this problem once and solved it by removing some plugins I don't use. turns out I had way too many plugins added Quote PDN Discord Server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 This is usually a problem with other software on the system, or maybe outdated GPU drivers. If you give us the app's diagnostics info it may help. In PDN, go to Settings (gear icon at top right) -> Diagnostics -> Copy to Clipboard. Then, paste that here in a reply.

AliceWL Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 I'm not sure about plug-ins. I'll check them out and see if it will help. Thank you for you everyone for the suggestions. I appreciate it. I'll add an up-date.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceWL Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 Turns out, working with Paint.Net doesn't affect Youtube videos when the the videos are played in Internet Explorer, instead of FireFox.. So.. Paint.Net is having a issue with videos played in FireFox.. I turned off all add-on's in Firefox, but the issue still persisted, so I'll be watching videos in IE while working with Paint. But that's fine, I'm glad I came up with a solution. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 That would make sense, since Firefox does video decoding on the GPU. Internet Explorer probably never switched from CPU based decoding. 1 Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

AliceWL Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 I decided to try working with Paint.Net while watching YouTube using Chrome - thankfully, this browser doesn't affect the Paint performance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
