silvertones re why. yes i know it defies logic mate. frankly these types of things can be so difficult to pin down. thats why i suggested posting the song project somewhere so other people can look in detail at the traks and confirm or not the behaviour on other pc's.
mebe something is mucking with the video behaviour somehow. another process or task interrupting. i have a question btw. i notice in your sig is BIG MONITOR. do you have a seperate monitor hooked up to your laptop ?? lets hone in on this video behaviour. you mention stickyness. does it happen at the same time point each time ?? or its just random ??
heres my own view of possible reasons. 1. as i mentioned before the sound card sending play position , and the system not being able to keep up. 2, the project playing back from the internal hard drive , and the internal drive performance affecting things. or win interupting to do something while the project plays back off the internal drive. ive seen this many times. but it normally occurs at high trak counts with high bit depths n sampling rates.
or it might just be something funky n difficult to hone in on.
could you please do a test useing powertraks., cos i'm really curious. start with a blank project. then record track after track useing the internal drive. just record blank traks. or make up some ruff song idea. tell me if you get the same sticky problem , and if you do.. tell me the track count where the sticky video problem starts occurring. this might give clues as to your internal drive performance. have you ever done a performance test on your internal hard drive ?? there are various drive utilities around to check on drive performance/thruput. ie just keep it simple initially before moving on to other tests. it might purely be internal hard drive performance. as i said before , some internal hard drives have a problem keeping up. so i suspect in the daw software itself, the way the daw is coded, is to ensure at all costs the audio carries on playing back sacrificing video performance. ive seen such stickyness in various daw/pc combos. but it normally occurs at higher trak counts. for example an old pc i have here exhibits such,cos it has a crummy hard drive... but the modern dual core desktop doesnt. there is only so much developers can do in source code of course. please run that powertraks test i suggested. it should only take half an hour.
retired puter engr....powertracks on amd......NICE ! "what is the black art of audio engineering ?" my silly songs...motagator.com/bmanning see my tips in the tips section.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
