Last night it was happening and I rebooted, but it didn’t help (which it does sometimes). So I tried rebooting into Safe Mode (with networking). It worked in safe mode without the stuttering. So I rebooted again into regular Win7 and it worked for the rest of the night flawlessly. But, I don’t think that solved anything.

When it was stuttering, I also tested using different content, to rule out the system being ‘overworked’.. meaning I tried multiple project resolutions and formats, including super simple ones. I tried making a project with only one object, a solid color matte moving slowly across screen. It still stuttered at the ~.5 second tempo. I tried taking footage and interpreting it at a wide range of playback speeds.. they would all skip at the same ~.5 second tempo.

I reverted my Nvidia driver back to 301.xxx and that didn’t seem to fix it, as I tried rebooting multiple times after reverting, to no avail.

The only thing of note that I can think of that I have added recently is a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet. I ‘exited’ all of the processes/services (I think) that involve the Wacom and unhooked it, but didn’t see any obvious relation.
